Customer Reviews
Popped in, explained what's happened.
Within minutes, computer plugged in and reason to why light come on found which gave us the info we needed to be ale to continue our journey and sort the problem out during week.
Thank you
Car broke down on A12 with plumes of steam and smoke coming from the car and got it into SLP at 9am yesterday. The lady on the phone asked loads of questions to get a comprehensive background of the issues.
At 11:45 I was contacted with a likely diagnosis and given a quote there and then. Following instruction to proceed they ordered the parts and carried out the repair and the job was all completed within 24hrs.
So impressed with the service levels and professionalism of this company. Would highly recommend! 👍
I recommended this company to friends that have found other garages intimidating as a single female and have had a great experience.
I have found the owners always helpful, knowledgeable and fair.
(Even when have made a mistake not quite tightening something enough)
