I questioned the need for a new battery and again was told the car was too new for them, he then said he could but the old battery back in - I agreed. The car was in the

Great place, Gavin is very flexible and tries hard to meet our needs. We bought an Insignia from him- the finance company was very slow but he was very patient with the whole process. Also serviced our other car there, they worked hard to find the cabin filter :)) Overall Gavin and John the mechanic provided great service, along with great communication. For years we have been trying to find a trustworthy place to take our cars to- and we finally found it! Would definitely recommend them.

Would thoroughly recommend this garage. Very happy with my purchased Mazda. No hard sell, or awkward negotiating, very pleasant indeed to deal with. Addressed any issues I expressed. I would definitely buy here again. Thank you Gavin and team.

Excellent experience from start to finish. Very helpful, professional and honest owner. Bought a car from them last year, it was prepared perfectly. I didnt have to worry about anything and still happy with my choice. I highly recommend S C Car Centre.
