Danny Quinlan

Amazing service! Very happy will now be the only garage I use!

Rayia Bracey

Just had my Skoda Fabia MOT'd here this afternoon. The staff are very friendly and made me a cuppa while I waited. The test itself took 45 minutes....I was offered a lift along to the shopping village but we chose to sit and wait. At £35, the MOT was excellent value. Thanks everyone...recommended! PS the car passed....even better

Lynette Burgess
