STAY AWAY!!! Went in for a small job that needed doing, ended up charging me 55 and they did nothing. Upon request of a break down they became verbally abusive and Aggressive. I will be reporting this to trading standards. Bunch of cowboys!

What can I say, superb! When I first rang up, they apologised that they could not get me in for a suspension repair until the next day. Up front with expected costs and work undertaken quickly when I dropped my car off. Only in the area on holiday and found them by chance, really friendly family run business can't recommend them enough. I had been quoted almost double for the same work at one of the big chains. Keep up the good work.
