They got my car booked in, fixed up and out all in about 12hrs and made it all so effortless! Really friendly helpful team and got an amazing price for the work done on my car. Couldn't say a bad thing about the team or garage. Will be recommended everyone I know local to the garage to these guys and will definitely be back if I need to when I'm in the area! Thanks again to all the team!

Very very happy with the service I received from the guys at Automax. Polite, professional and more than happy to answer questions and talk things through. A clean, well presented workshop with some good experience with retro cars made the experience a very good one. They went out of their way to help sort a few other tasks whilst carrying out the planned work whilst keeping me up to date with what was happening. I definitely plan to use them again and would happily recommend them to others. Thanks again.
