  • "Had my exaughst clip replaced in 20 minutes."
  • "At the end of the day I turned up with a slow puncture in the rear left tyre of my car... Found the puncture in 5 minutes, mended it and gave me my car back with a smile, a small bill and good grace."
  • "Very quick and smooth. Before booking they quoted me the time it will take and was given back the vehicle promptly within the quote."
  • "Took my car in first thing this Sat morning (in the snow) with a slow puncture... fixed the tyre in no time."

Cons:

  • "They advised me that they were busy and would be able to look at my car in about 45 minutes time."
  • "I booked in an mot with your branch for today. I arrived before the allocated time. And left after your team member confirmed my phone number. Returned a couple of hours later to be told its wasn't booked in."
  • "Booked 2 weeks in advance to get my air con recharged at this branch. Only to get a call 30mins before I’m due to drop my car off saying they have to cancel due to no trained staff working in order to fulfill my booking."

Quality of Work

Pros:

  • "Two tyres supplied and fitted, with every aspect efficient and done in a friendly way."
  • "They don't charge silly rates for jobs especially considering the top level of work they carry out."
  • "Great service here. I dealt with Andrew when I had a brand new tyre, supplied elsewhere, that was flat. He identified the faulty valve, dealt with the problem and don’t even charge me."
  • "Rather than just fitting a new tyre they noticed the valve on the inner tyre was leaking so fixed it too."
  • "They repaired the puncture free of charge!"
  • "Put in the car for a full service and MOT. The MOT failed due to an indicator failure in the wing mirror. The engineer suggested that I obtain a replacement- which I did. They then fitted it free and redid the test - PASS."
  • "A really efficient service, from the moment we made the call, to us driving away."

Cons:

  • "Noticed the rear wheels was installed oppositely."

  • "They just can't be bothered to check the tracking properly once they've replaced them."
  • "Got my brake pads and discs replaced on my van and after leaving the garage I called back to ask if it’s normal for my pads to still be squeaking and brakes and grinding when I come to complete stop."
  • "Size of the rear wheels was different to my requirement. The staff did not notify me before installation."
  • "Didn't balance the tyres properly, had to take it to 'tyre city' to finish the job."
  • "The 2 front tyres they had replaced 6 months before which legally passed the MOT in December were totally bald on just the insides of the wheel by March."
