- Fast, friendly and trustworthy people with very reasonable prices. Called them this morning, booked car for MOT for later on the day, dropped it off and few hours later told me that it had failed MOT (car was making a terrible noise anyway and needed a new tyre) but could sort things out, few hours later collected car with jobs completed. Great service.
Drove in after 4 o'clock today for a front light change, they noticed it was actually 2 bulbs off. Few minutes later and were both changed. I then asked yo have a look at my exhaust as it was shaking a lot. On the ramp it went, few loose screws fixed. Excellent service again 👏 👍 👌G ΒlαDrove in asked price tyre fixed and back on the road in minutes excellent servicesteven mcveighReally impressed with this firm. Did not know they existed until a member of staff at Halfords recommended them. They fitted 2 new tyres about 6 weeks ago. However 1 of tyres was loosing pressure. So went back today and they checked it out. Found that wheel rim needed cleaning, so they did that and refitted tyre and did not charge for the time and work involved. Very impressed when these days you seem to get charged for even breathing. All the staff were really friendly and seemed to know what they were doing. In future this will be only place to go to. thank you.Mike Gunn - Put my car in for mot.found staff to be pleasant and helpful. mot was done at time it was booked in for,no waiting for hours to get my car back.will definitely use againDee MilburnGreat service, fitted me in and repaired my tyre all within an hourJohn DuffyExcellent as always.
