Stinger

We've used them for our delivery van for about six years now. We needed a reliable place that could fit us in at short notice when a van goes down, and they nearly always manage it. Once the quote came back a bit higher than I expected for a clutch job, but they explained the parts and I didn't argue. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Good service, car came back clean and sorted. Price was a bit more than the place I used before though, and I had to chase them once to get the invoice emailed.

Car was due its MOT and I needed it sorted in a hurry before the weekend. Booked on the app at lunch and they had me in the next morning. Quick, no fuss, done.

I booked a full service with new brake pads and the process was smooth from start to finish. The quote came through on the app within the hour, I approved it there and then, and they had the car ready the following afternoon. The mechanic had left a short note on the windscreen explaining what had been done, which I thought was a nice touch. Brakes feel much better and I got a fair price for the whole job.

Good enough service in the end, but signing up took longer than it should have. I compared three places before picking these and the price was in line with the others. The account form wanted my details twice and the code didn't arrive for ages. Car was sorted properly once I got it booked.

My car wouldn't start on a cold Monday so I needed a battery replaced quickly. I rang and they could send someone out the same afternoon, which saved me being stranded at work. Fitted in about twenty minutes and they checked the charging system while they were there.

Looked at three places before I booked and these came out ahead on the price and the reviews. The slot I wanted was free online which saved me a phone call. My Corsa came back with a note of the work done and a clear idea of what to keep an eye on. Friendly lad at the desk too, not pushy at all.

What got me was the price shown up front on the booking page, with no extras added at the end. Oil service and a tyre check for less than I was quoted by the local place. Took about two hours in the waiting room and I had a coffee. Nothing else to add really, it did the job.

Honestly, this is the one I'd pick again. I got three quotes for a timing belt and this came in the middle on price but was the only one that explained what they were replacing and why. The car was ready the same day and the bill matched the quote.

I did look at a couple of other places before booking, and what I liked about these was the way they talked me through the MOT failure without making me feel silly. The repair was a little more than I had hoped but it was all explained in writing, and the car came back on time.

Booked a service through the site which was easy enough. The slot I picked was not the one I got, they moved me to the next day without asking first, and it took a couple of phone calls to sort the mix up. Work itself was fine.

Compared with the garage we'd used for years, these were a good deal more thorough and they explained every line of the bill before doing anything. I booked the full service and MOT through the site and the car was ready when they said it would be. Staff were polite and didn't rush me at the desk, which I appreciated a great deal. I'd happily send friends their way.

Good value for the money, honestly. Got a service and a cambelt done and the price was in line with the others I got quotes from, not the cheapest though. Car has run well since and the diary reminder by email was handy.

Got four new tyres fitted and balanced. They were the right make and the fitting was quick. Only niggle was the wait for the booking slot, nearly two weeks out.

Booked a full service plus MOT through the site for my Golf. Slot was confirmed straight away, the technician flagged the brake pads early and quoted properly. Turnaround was same day.

I needed the car fixed before a long trip to Scotland, and the first garage I rang couldn't see me for a week. These had a slot the next morning. The job was done when they said it would be, but the paperwork took a while to come through afterwards and I had to ask twice for the receipt.

Compared with the independent I'd used for years, these were a little more careful and their checks were more thorough, and the price was about the same once you add everything up. They rang me before doing anything extra and the car was back in my drive by teatime.

Compared with the dealer for the same service on the old Astra, these were a fair bit cheaper and the work was done properly. Been using them a few years now and nothing has changed for the worse.

The booking itself was the best bit, you pick a date and they show you what's included straight away. I'd looked at two other places first and this was the easiest to sort out on my phone. The only thing was the call back about the MOT advisory took the best part of two days to come through, though the work itself was fine and the car came back clean.

The first thing I noticed was the confirmation email arriving within a minute of booking, with the exact time slot and a list of what they'd check. I'd never used them before so I was nervous, but the mechanic rang me halfway through to say the front brake pads were fine and I didn't need them. Picked the car up on time and it drives nicely.
