Had a combined MOT and service. The Saturday appointment was brilliant. The car was cleaned and the work completed in plenty of time for me to collect as agreed.

Thank you. A very thorough , efficient service. Will definitely use again. 13/09/10

This garage is first rate. I was recommended and was told they were an honest garage. No surprises, fair, excellent mechanics and excellent PR. This I have found for myself. I recommend to everyone I know, at least 2 of which I know have used the garage. 14/09/10

Friendly and willing to help. Nice atmosphere and let my dogs in! Big thumbs up! 14/09/10

First class garage, you'd be mad not to use their services. 22/09/10

I had problem with my ABS, so Car Contacts checked it out and thought they had found the fault, but it was not. With lots of research the problem could not be found or solved. I had in the meanwhile told them to go and do the cam belt, so they did. As the ABS problem never got solved I could not get an MOT on the car. There was still the matter of paying for the cam belt and they were ever so kind and only asked for the cost of the parts, there was no labour charged even that they had spent so many hours on this over a month. Also, they were so good to give me a loan car for the month at no cost, so this garage will not try to rip you off and all the staff are ever so nice and helpful. 28/08/10

Excellent service and Martin is a very cheerful and courteous driver. 23/08/10
