  • "Excellent service, they had the tyres others didn't have (Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 3 (not 2) for a BMW 435 M-sport convertible."
  • "Full explanation of how they had fixed it and the price was a third of previous quotes."

Cons:

  • "Everything I go to this place I come away angry. The ONLY reason for using them is that they are open on Sundays. If it's not an emergency go somewhere else."
  • "PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ANY VEHICLE HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF!"

  • "The worse mechanics i have ever come across.. Not only do they make your car worse than it was before it went in... THEY FORGET TO APPLY THE PARTS TO FIX IT!!!"
  • "Could barely be more incompetent. Car in for simple puncture repair which I was told would take 30mins. Went back after an hour and car not touched."
  • "Went in for brakes to be changed guys and girls there were great, when I left there another issue arose... yeah ok not going back there."

  • "Replacement Battery fitted quickly and cost me less than the last one I bought!"
