I've used J&B Autos for years and cannot recommend them enough. Their work has always been exceptional and more than once they have gone out of their way to help me out. They maintain, service and MOT both my car and campervan. Thank you again for sorting out my car after its been sitting on the drive for the last 18 months.

I have been going to J & B Autos for the past five years and have had numerous car troubles over the years! I cant fault their service over the time going out of their way to get me back on the roads every single time. I had an engine fault on the way to work and whilst panicking I rang them and they got me in straight away. Great service, reasonable prices and friendly staff who go above and beyond- best garage in the area!

Nice polite, people. however, i bought my car with an MOT one year ago, drove just 300 miles that year because of COVID, and failed MOT to the tune of 1500 worth of multiple fail items. Suspicious, i went elsewhere and failed on only a third of the points . All trust lost on first visit.
