"Took my old Fiesta in expecting a big bill and they told me it was just a loose connector — fixed in ten minutes, no charge. You don't find honesty like that anymore."
"Jo talked me through my MOT failure point by point and showed me each one on the ramp. Sorted same day at a fair price. The whole family is lovely."
"Sam diagnosed an engine light three other garages couldn't crack. Friendly, clean garage and they even dropped me home while they worked. Highly recommend."
