“James has sorted me out twice now, solving annoying software issues created by VW. 1st. VW refused to reset my service warning light after I had my car serviced by a smaller non VW garage, which has my goto garage for years. 2nd. To reset the SOS warning light, a more recent VW challenge they created for themselves. James totally resolved these challenges and have booked my MOT, and will get my ID3 serviced next year. Totally trust worthy.”

“James, Danielle and staff are amazing! Nothing has ever been too much trouble for them, servicing, collecting and returning my car for MOT and giving advice on jobs proposed by the main dealer. I definitely recommend them. Thank you!”

“I can't recommend this place highly enough. James and his team are technically excellent - genuinely knowledgeable mechanics who know what they're doing, and more importantly, I trust their judgement. When they tell me something needs doing (or doesn't), I know it's straight. Costs are always fair and reasonable, with no surprises. Danielle on the service side is outstanding — communicative, helpful, and makes the whole process easy from drop-off to collection. On top of all that, they're just genuinely nice people to deal with, which makes a real difference. Their husky's cute too. Trustworthy, skilled and well-priced — exactly what you want from a garage.”

Both James and Danielle were great and talked me through next steps without making a mechanical novice feel uncomfortable. I was reassured at every step and felt the customer service was excellent.

“I have brought my car here for services and MOTs for the past few years and cannot fault anything. Everything has been reasonably priced, completed in a timely manner and any work that needed doing has been reliable. Would highly recommend. I recently had a significant issue with my car after some work had been performed by another garage. James, Danielle and team were all fantastic, going above and beyond despite the issue being nothing to do with them. They gave me their professional advice on the situation, advised how I should approach the other garage and got my car back on the road. Cannot thank them enough.”

Great Service

“I have been using this garage for a couple of years now. My car is getting on a bit and they advise me on all the upcoming repairs I will need for my next mot so I can slowly work through the repairs, if I need any through the year, keeping the cost down and keeping me on the road. James and his team are brilliant and explain everything in detail and even show me the faults on my car so I can see what is wrong. A lovely mechanic even dropped me off at home so I didn't need to walk back after. Lovely place and make me feel very welcome.”
