Ive been using MCR ltd for a couple of years now after a good friend recommended them . Recently I visited my local Jaguar dealership for an MOT to be carried out .It failed on a faulty rear light and was advised a replacement was necessary.Unfortunately the light was not available due to a parts supply problem. I called John at MCR to see if he could help me out of this tricky situation.He booked me in for the following morning with his auto electrician .
MCR fixed the fault without the need of a new light, and at a fraction of the cost. Thank you MCR , you could teach the dealership

Will definitely be bringing my car back here! I have a brand new black Picanto which had several thin scratches across the car, and not only did John remove them but he also gave me advice on how to manage any future scratches myself. Excellent and quick service, cannot recommend enough, especially if you're a new car owner, John will get you sorted!

Wish I could give him 10 stars. John not only fixed our tyre, but showed us how to do it on THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. Absolute legend, cracked a few good jokes too.

I went here because it's the top rated car repair business in Manchester on Google. Glad I did. Very professional service. John was ace. Very much a no bull#*it approach. One of the very few remaining business that will be open and honest with you about what needs fixing, what not to bother with and what the cost will be. I'm incredibly happy and I couldn't recommend this place any higher. Very transparent pricing and no messing about. Very fast turn around too.
