Report
I called into the garage in the morning having not called ahead due to my engine jittering when accelerating. After 2-3 hours they called to update me on an issue they had fixed but they had now come across some spark plug issues. They advised of how much longer they would need and an expected overall cost of all the repairs. An hour later I received a call that all the repairs had been completed, the total cost and that my car was waiting to be cleaned free of charge. I went an hour later and picked it up, paid and found that my car had been cleaned on the inside as well as out! Superb service

MOT booked, car was returned with a MOT pass (always good) but also washed and hoovered inside and out. Excellent service as always.

Outstanding service 18/10/21. I called in the morning & explained my issues and asked if they could squeeze me in, the same day. They were very accommodating. I went on a test run with the mechanic to highlight the issues and left my car with them. They called back with the diagnosis and price after keeping me informed throughout the day of there thoughts to the issue and when they knew for sure, it was really appreciated. Thank you again for the excellent service!

Front desk staff are fantastic. Service completed on my vehicle to great standard. Car was cleaned and steering wheel and gear stick had been cleaned and wrapped with 'cling film'. Great local garage cannot fault them.

Sending this from Cornwall thanks to Robin at Central Garage coming out to fix our car the day we were going on holiday. Robin came and fixed the problem with the battery and offered to pop back round if we still had issues after his next call. Thanks for saving our holiday.
