I'm very impressed with this garage. All work has been completed promptly and thoroughly, with no high pressure sales tactics, let alone for unnecessary work. Advisory actions are noted, with a timeline for when works should be completed by.
Records/invoices are provided clearly showing work undertaken, email/phone communication is polite & thorough and timelines are under promised yet over delivered. I'll happily be bringing my vehicle back here.
