Absolutely brilliant service! Got a puncture on my drive to Devon from Northamptonshire. Popped into Lovering's on the off chance they might be able to help. The staff were so kind and helpful. They didn't have a suitable tyre in stock so they made some calls and had one delivered that same afternoon! Even though they were extremely busy, they squeezed me in and within a couple of hours I was back on the road! Lovering's well and truly saved my holiday! I'm so grateful, thank you!

They managed to fit me in when I needed work done whilst on holiday in Combe Martin. They fixed my brakes that same day and charged a reasonable price for it. Would definitely recommend this garage.

This is a great local garage . John and all the mechanics and staff are a really friendly and professional team who go that bit further to help. It's no surprise all the locals directed me there when I asked where was the best place to take my car.

When I moved to Devon 17 years ago I bought a car from Loverings and I have been using them ever since - John and his team are some of the nicest people you could meet. The mechanics are excellent , always have time for you and are really helpful. I recommend Loverings to everyone who asks about a local garage - great service and at a great price!
