Not really one for leaving reviews but when i have received an exceptional service then it is well deserved!! Road & Race were recommended to me by a friend of mine who has had a repair done by them before and she could not praise them enough, top and bottom of it, some idiot went through a red light and smashed the passenger side of my car, i called Road & Race and all i can say is from start to finish the service that was delivered was impeccable, from collecting my car, and being kept up to date all the way through the process (as it was stressful enough) the staff are so friendly and helpful
