I had a suspension issue with my car right before heading off on holiday and LNC Motors went above and beyond to fit me in last minute. Thanks to them, I was able to go on my trip without any worries and I’m really grateful for their help.

Top-notch service, super friendly team - I highly recommend them! I’ll definitely be sticking with LNC Motors in the future.

Very friendly and more knowledgeable than a "standard" mechanic... This guy can do anything.. prices are very reasonable.. I wouldn't go anywhere else now.
Brook
I took the car in for a repair to the clutch as the pedal wasn't disengaging and was sticking to the floor.

They booked me in promptly and the main mechanic was very knowledgeable and experienced and had it completed the same day. Unfortunately a bolt thread had gone and he wasn't happy returning the vehicle in that state so ordered new parts in straight away which took 2 days to arrive to ensure my car was safe to drive. Unfortunately upon collection there was a problem I had noticed in the …
Thomas
Great price on a multi-job water pump and belt, brake pads and disks and brake fluid change. Dropped car off in evening and ready just after lunch the following day. Brilliant and cheerful service competitively priced. Will definitely use their services again!!
J O'Connell
CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH!!
After being dealt the dodgy hand of a previous garage, I found these guys and saw the reviews were really good, and thought I would give them a go and the reviews speak for them selves, being a self employed plumber not having my work van for a prolonged amount of time causes a lot of stress!

Rick goes above and beyond to get the van back to me as fast as possible and is so fairly priced and a genuine nice guy been to him 3 times now and will never turn back!
