 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great local spot for a WOF and service. Takes care of wheel alignments and if tyres or bulbs are needed for the WoF it all gets sorted out as well. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and Richard really looks after his clients. He clearly explains what needs to be done and then just gets it done efficiently. Always good value for money and easy to deal with. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great work done at a reasonable price as well as the added bonus of a loan car, which seems to becoming a rare service offered by garages.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Have been servicing my car here for the last 6 years or so.  Richard is very good, he has several times recommended different ways to save me money, and helped give me advice on a couple things I could handle myself.
