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 …
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!

Used them three times now and am more than happy to say that so far they seem to be honest efficient and friendly.
Recently they didn't stick to the quote they gave me but charged me 35% less because it took less time than the manufacturers estimate for the repair. Delighted I was, truth be told! 🙂
Good work Robin, and staff, keep up the good work!.

Viewing of the van without any pressure. I was left to check whatever I wanted and offered decent test drive, not like with some dealers that you can’t even leave the car park.
Friendly, helpful and honest people, van as described. Would highly recommend
