This garage was recommended to me and they provided a great service. My car had to stay with them for works to be carried out, I was kept up to date with the process and I can't fault their customer service. Would highly recommend.

Booked my car in for MOT, this was easy spoke to receptionist who was very helpful she gave me various times to suit me. Took car in on said day, the staff were very welcoming. I was notified the car required some repairs and was given a price for the work. They carried out the repairs quickly and efficiently. When I collected my car the invoice was explained. I would certainly recommend Glassons Garage they are friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable and professional. Thank you, I will definitely return, it's so good to have a garage you can trust.
