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.
Read moreFastest 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.
Read moreThe 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…
Read moreThis 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.
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.

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 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.
