Dean did a great job servicing and also advised what we need to do next time to keep in good order, equally what was unnecessary to do so that makes him honest, trustworthy, no nonsense (unlike some other garages I have used), great service and value for money would highly recommend and keep using.

Excellent service all round. I think an example describes the experience best... I took a car in for mot to be arranged by RTE, the report came back and it was a lot of small things but the quote (despite being more than competitive) wasn't a small one. Rather than let me keep trickling money in to an older car to keep it going I got sound advice to put that cash toward something newer that would have lower on costs. RTE didn't think twice about passing on making money out of an old car which I think speaks of an honest tradesman

Well Ive just come from Lincoln and had a puncher so need something pretty fast sorting if I could. Ive come to this place and if it wasnt for the receptionist and lovely kind person she was it would of been getting a one star. Well as for the mechanic, Ive never come across such a rude person. I suggest he thinks carefully in future for other peoples part. its not just about being rude to me but your receptionist. I dont care how busy you are, everyone deserves a bit of respect. Your lucky to have her!!
