Whilst I have no doubt that the man who owns this place is a good mechanic and prices are average,…read morehe is the rudest person I have ever dealt with and I would hate someone to experience what I have. The first time I went there I was warned against going to his garage by a friend, but was already booked in so took a chance and it was fine. This time round I called to ask for a quote on getting some work done and was told that he'd need to look at it first of all. Fair enough, so I took it over and explained the problem. I was told it was a fairly simple job, would cost around £30 and would be done 'today.' Called them about 3 hours later to verify cost and find out how it was going. To say that I got a tirate of abuse, for no reason, would be an understatement. I was told that I was calling every 5 minutes (this was my first call), that all I'd wanted to know first thing was how much it would cost (wouldn't any customer?) and then told that he 'wasn't inclined to do it now' and to 'come and get your keys.' I was also told that he hadn't said he could sort it out that day and neither had his assistant told me that. When I expressed shock at his manner and said I was a customer and couldn't believe he was being so rude he said, "You're not a customer, you've only been here once." I am surprised that he is still in business if he doesn't understand that having been there (and given him custom!) makes me a 'customer.' I did tell him that he'd completely wasted my time and that I could have taken my car somewhere else he said 'well why didn't you?' This sort of behaviour, without provacation, is bizarre and quite upsetting. I would not recommend a woman use his service under any circumstances because I found him aggressive.

Just a quick update from my previous review. Everything that I said before is still 100% factual…read more The company offers 5 star service and Simon the manager remains BRILLIANT! Another example of the amazing value they/he offer. The wing mirror on my Land Rover was clipped by another vehicle at speed and was knocked off and just hanging there. Quotes were crazy to repair it. Went so see Simon and he called to ask the cost of a replacement mirror which is what was recommended by others - £1,200!!! Then it would have gone be painted and installed. He said - bring it in Monday and I think I can fix it for you. Sure enough he did!! Cost £97 and 6 months later it is still perfect!!

Once again I've had excellent service from Simon and his team today…read more They are knowledgeable, professional and extremely friendly. Charges are very competitive. I've used Top Gear for many, many years, and they've never let me down. P J King

This is a very helpful garage. I broke down in a nearby village and called my dad for help. It…read moreturned out the my battery had died but the car was all electric and it had locked me in the car. I told my dad to go up to northwest tyres as he was close to smashing the windows in to get me out! They lent him all the tools he needed to get me out of the car and even lent him the battery to put on the car so that I could make it to the garage! The were really helpful! I would not even think of going to another garage for help, I will always take my car there!

This is always busy (which is usually a good sign!). I've had tyres from them as well as having…read morework done on my car. They always do a good job and, in generally, they're 50% cheaper than their closest rivals! When I had new brakes fitted, I had one quote for about £300. C & C quoted closer to £150 including parts and labour. I know someone else who needed new tyres and was quoted over £200 by a dealer, she went to C & C and got just as good quality tyres fitted for less than £120. They do servicing and MOT preparation (but not actual MOTs). They will work with any make and model. And they sell and fit tyres and exhausts. They are always really nice and get the work done quickly, they don't charge too much and they always do a good job. I'd definitely recommend them.

If you are after cheap tyres then this is a place to go to. I highly recommend them.read more
