Fast and efficient puncture repair. Always good service and decent prices, never feel ripped off, compared to national chains.

First time I come to this place, to repair a tyre and check tracking and suspension following an accident. This is a good business. Felt comfortable dealing with the man who gave me the quote yesterday and the way the work was carried out today. Professionals charging reasonable prices. I wish I knew this place before

Had a full service. Reasonable price. Also gave car a really good clean inside and outside. Inside was clean, but they still went over the lit. Great job all round, thanks. See you for next service

Company i work for use Motor Inn and recommended them to me as local to where i live. I have used them for servicing of two cars and an MOT on a motohome. Really nice guys to deal with and i didn't feel pressured into having any additional work done without discussing it with my husband first. The other day i had a flat tyre on one of the cars they said when i get home from work give them a call and they would come round change the tyre for me - really good service
