Very pleasant courteous staff. Very knowledgeable and took time to listen to our requirements. Didn't try to add to cost of work unnecessarily (in fact cost came under initial quote). They also gave us lifts to where we wanted to go until the work was done. We would definitely use them again!

John Darke has a fantastic team working there. Thanks to Simon who made sure that the car got reserved and then Paul for his friendly service with sorting my paperwork and then coming in on his day off to do the handover. The customer service is best in the area
