Always ready to help with the cars and motorbikes we take to their workshop. Dont mess with Mummy CHUBBOCK behind the receptions till otherwise you are on your way home. And Mr CHUBBOCK senior is still riding his 1500 Goldwing Honda in his eighties: amazing! But best for the motorbikes MOT is Mr CHUBBOCK junior. Always great advices and suggestions. Thank you.

Lots of years of experience here which has made a wealth of knowledge of all sorts of vehicles new and old. They answered any questions I had politely and took the time to simplify some complicated/technical stuff so I could understand more. I'll be bringing my camper back every time for it's service and MOT. Comfortable waiting room with a good stack of magazines. The only negative is that's it's a quite a busy place even though it's in the sticks, I think people come a long way to go there.

I've used this garage for MOTS and when its failed they didnt even offer to quote for the repairs. They didnt have time to fix within the 7 day rule meaning I would need to pay for another MOT test. However they were willing to take on more MOTS. The MOT tester is a nice honest guy though., however the receptionist couldnt be less enthusiastic. Just rude really.
