For someone who loves cars and has some mechanical knowledge to, I very much appreciated photo updates/pictures of the work and sensible conversations between customer and mechanic on solutions!

“Called in yesterday whilst passing. Wheel previously repaired elsewhere(pot hole) was causing a vibration. Immediately served by great reception staff, no need to book in(big plus). Receptionist quickly checked the wheel over, advised they could check balance, alignment and 'straightness' and advised prices for each step. Short wait, technician took the car out, reported his findings back to me, discussed and advised next step, again with costs. Print out of alignment provided and explained. Half hour later all work was completed. Alignment and wheel balance undertaken, repair was still ok. Updated alignment report showing changes provided and update from technician. Entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Professional, efficient, quick, detailed and cost effective. No dirty hand prints on the the controls or seat either! This is the first review I've ever given for anything as I've simply come to expect poor service everywhere these days as normal. Not here, now my go-to garage for everything. Brilliant.”
