Been going here for about 20 years, with numerous cars. I've always found them honest and friendly. No problems, would recommend, based on my own experience with them.

Been getting the girlfriends car MOT and service done here for years. Unfortunately this is the first year the girlfriend has had to drop the car off and funnily enough its also the first year the car failed its MOT, due to "excessive play in the nearside track rod end ball joint" and an advisory for the pads wearing thin . As they had no availability to fix this quickly so i took it to another reputable garage who where shocked to see the MOT had been failed and advised me there was nothing wrong with the ball joint at all. I asked them to change it anyway as well as the brake pads as i needed
