The driver let two strangers onto our school bus and they could have been anyone we could have been killed and he let them on. We all pay lots of money for a bus pass and the drivers don't even check them so anyone could get on. One also smokes so we are in a dangerous environment

If you need a good car repair garage you cant go wrong here. They've got every bit of kit for every job on every vehicle. Since selling the coach business to focus on the garage side they've gone from strength to strength. The guys especially Aaron are very well educated on all makes of car. Well worth a visit.
