Quicker than I thought

Honestly this was a lot quicker than I expected for a first visit. I booked through the site, filled in a short form about the noise my car was making, and got a call the same afternoon. The fault turned out to be a loose exhaust bracket and they fixed it while I waited. Friendly staff too, and no pressure to buy extras.

Cheap and sorted

Biggest thing for me was the price, way lower than the place near mine. Booked a tyre change online and they had me in within the hour. Staff were chatty and didn't make me feel daft for asking stuff. Good stuff.

Bit pricey for the job

I went for a clutch inspection after a bit of slipping. The work itself looked fine and the car drives smoothly now. The bill came in higher than I had been quoted over the phone, because they found a worn bearing I had not been told about. They did explain it, but I would have liked a call before the extra work went ahead. Quite a lot of money to find out on the day.

Far better than the dealer

Compared with the main dealer I went to before, this place is a different world. The dealer quoted me almost double for the same brake pads and wanted me to wait a week. Here I was in and out the same day. The mechanic showed me the pads and explained the wear. Cheers to them.

Decent first visit

This was my first time using them so I had no idea what to expect. Booking was straightforward and the price on the quote was the price I paid. They talked me through the work before starting and the car drove fine after. I did have to wait about twenty minutes past my slot, which was a little annoying, but otherwise a good experience.

Better than the dealer every time

I have used the dealer for years but this place does the same job for less and the car gets looked after just as well. The dealer quoted me about a third more for the last service. Here I get the same checklist and a proper printout afterwards. Been coming back for four years now.

Well worth the wait

On the whole I would say the service was very good and I have no real complaints. The booking was simple enough, though I did have to ring twice before anyone confirmed my slot. The engineer who came out was courteous, explained what he had done and why, and tidied up after himself. The price was fair for what I got. I would use them again.

Quick and easy booking

Fastest booking ever, you just pick a slot on the app and it's done. Car was ready when they said. Only bit that annoyed me was the reminder email came two days late so I nearly missed it lol. Would use again tbh.

Better than the place I used before

Way better than my old garage which took forever to call back. Here they rang within an hour of me sending the enquiry. Got the car in and out before lunch. Cheaper too.

Got my car sorted

Got my car booked in for a service and the app made it dead easy. Picked the slot, paid, done. They sent me a little video of the mechanic checking the oil. Car runs better already, decent lads.

Brake fluid change done right

I asked for a brake fluid change specifically because my last garage just topped it up and I wanted it flushed properly. They did the full bleed and wrote down the fluid type and the time it took. The mechanic pointed out a weeping caliper that the last lot had missed. Good, honest work.

Needed a diagnostic on a warning light

The engine management light came on the week before a long drive so I needed someone to plug in the diagnostic kit and tell me what was actually wrong rather than guess. Booked a slot online for the next morning and the bloke on the desk was clear about what the code meant and what it would cost to fix. They found a faulty sensor, replaced it the same afternoon and the light has stayed off since. Good, practical work.

Used them for the MOT and servicing

I have been using them for the MOT and the annual service for going on six years now. Last time I asked for the full service with new filters, and they sent a text with a photo of the old filter before they fitted the new one. The mechanic who does my car always remembers the last job. Prices have crept up a little but they are still fair. I see no reason to go anywhere else.

Booked on my phone in bed

The fact I could book a slot at ten at night and get confirmation straight away. Dropped the car off on the way to work, picked it up after. Bit of a wait on the way home but they had a coffee machine. Would do it again.

Been going there for years

Been using them since before the new owners took over and it has stayed the same good service. The last visit was for the timing belt, which they quoted up front and stuck to. They phoned me halfway through to say a bolt had seized and they had sorted it. Car is running sweet and they remember my name. Would not go anywhere else.

Beats the local garage hands down

Compared with the independent I usually go to, this was a much smoother affair. Booking took a couple of minutes on the site and the reminder text came the day before. The mechanic knew his stuff and the car came back cleaner than I left it. Nothing to fault really.

Only needed a few things checked

I only needed the lights, tyres and a fluid top up before a trip, so I wanted a place that would not sell me anything I did not need. They checked everything and told me what was fine and what was getting worn. The tyre pressure was set properly and the price for the whole lot was less than I feared. Sensible and straight with me.

Quick and no fuss

Booked in on Monday, car done Tuesday. That's the verdict for me. Called ahead to check parts were in and they were. Price matched the quote. Nothing else to say really.

Needed a cheap fix

My car needed a new battery and I wanted the cheapest sensible option that would not leave me stranded. I rang them and they talked me through the choices without pushing the expensive one. The fitting was quick and they checked the charging system too, which I appreciated. Only niggle is the parking outside was tight for a people carrier, but that is my problem. The bill was fair and no nasty surprises.

Needed a quick MOT

Needed an MOT in a hurry because mine ran out on Friday. Booking was easy and they fitted me in the next morning. The fee was what I expected. Waiting room could do with a bit more seating but whatever.
