I have used this garage for the past 3 or 4 years for MOT tests and welding work. Their work is always top notch, the staff are friendly, professional and obviously know their trade very well. No question is ever too silly, they explain everything needed in detail and only do what is needed. Their prices are reasonable, you can probably find cheaper, but I doubt you will find better. All in all, a brilliant family run garage that I recommend highly.

I've used this garage for over 10 years and they really seem keen to do a great job. They are very honest and don't do work which is needed. Wouldn't go anywhere else now.

Great communication and honest advice. They save me from committing to unnecessary work as the main dealer advised. They more competive offering better value than the main dealers. I've heard other garages are cheaper but less reliable, your choice.

I have used Stephen Byram's garage for Mot 's and repairs for many years. The mechanics are great always have a laugh with them and they sort my car problems out promptly no matter what I call in for. Office staff are great always keep me entertained if I am waiting. Wouldn't consider going anywhere else when they are so reliable. Highly recommend.
