Kind words from local drivers.

Average from 480 reviews
“They sent photos of my worn brake pads and the bill matched the quote to the cent. The first garage I have properly trusted.”
“Dropped the van off at eight and had it back by lunch, with a clear list of what was done. No upselling, just good work.”
“Nobody could explain the warning light on my old hatchback. They found a loose sensor in twenty minutes and charged me for twenty minutes.”
“We booked a pre purchase check before buying a family SUV. Their report saved us from a very expensive mistake.”

Book the checkFAQ
Good questions, straight answers.
Still not sure? Call 555-0152 and talk straight to a technician.
Do you work on all makes and models?
Yes. Everyday hatchbacks, family SUVs, pickups and light vans, petrol, diesel and hybrid. If your car is something rare, call us and we will tell you straight away whether we can help.
Will servicing with you affect my new car warranty?
No. We follow the maker’s schedule, fit parts that meet the specification and stamp your logbook, so your warranty stays in place.
How long will my car be with you?
Most services and brake jobs are finished the same day. We text you when the car is ready, and we call first if anything changes.
Do I pay anything before you start?
No. The check is free with any booking, and you only pay for the work you approve on your written quote.
Can I wait while you work?
For jobs under an hour, yes. There is coffee, wifi and a quiet corner. For longer jobs we can drop you nearby or lend you a courtesy car.
