“This garage took my car in for an MOT at very short notice when I realised it would expire over the Christmas / New Year period. My car failed the MOT due to broken rear springs and, knowing I needed the car for work, it was repaired and retested within a day (even though they had plenty other jobs on the go). The owner and employees were excellent and went above and beyond to get me back on the road without any inflated prices either. Excellent garage that I highly recommend”
