I always use Pryors for my MOT and service but recently they have been very helpful with a big issue I had with my car. They were really helpful and explained all the options I had and were really transparent with the pricing. They are always fair and you never feel ripped off!! Would always recommend!

Had a clutch problem with my vehicle after a long drive from North Lincolnshire, after the AA had dropped the car off and speaking with Jeff P and Stanley on the front desk, they did the job very quickly and fairly priced. What a great bunch of guys. Also sorted my son Jamie's car (he is at Uni in Falmouth). Cannot thank them enough and cannot recommend them highly enough - you will be in safe hands at Pryors Garage.

A very good job as always, and as the car's problems were worse than we had hoped were very generous with the time charging and replacement costs. Much appreciated.

Had a car that had recently failed its MOT on brakes. They were able to book me in quickly and got the necessary repairs done sooner than expected at good value. They were kind enough to even take the car back to the original test center for a re-test. Highly recommended.
