Report
Oil leak needed fixing. I had taken my car to a main dealer (Robins and Day as you ask) who were rude, disorganised and disinterested and clearly did not want to do the work. Therefore took it to Barns Garage who booked it in and warned me that the job may be expensive. I rashly said that I was expecting to pay 1,000 plus for the work and it would be cheaper than a new car. Picked it up two days later, properly fixed and cost came in at under 400. Extraordinarily good service and integrity in circumstances where the garage could easily have taken advantage of the situation and overcharged.

Car decided to smoke from the engine took it to the barn garage. They advised to scrap the car as it'll be too much to repair. Took it to another local garage and they repaired it with ease as it was only a minor fault. Would not recommend the barn garage as a feel they iver couldn't be bothered to look at my car or there not very experienced.
