I had my MoT done here in early 2008 having found out about it at…read morehttp://www.moneysavingexpert.co.uk . Without doubt this was the best experience I've yet had when it comes to having work or an MoT done on my car. As this is not a private concern they are not looking to make money from you and therefore all you get is the MoT. Which was done efficiently and with a helpfulness I just haven't found at other garages. The location of the garage is also a bonus as it is a short walk from the City Centre, so making it easy to pass the time while you wait for the MoT to be completed. The only minus point is the garage can be a little hard to find at first, but that really is the worst thing I can think to say about this place. It also should be noted that this is a place of work, you won't find a smiling receptionist behind a PC or smart waiting area with coffee machine; it is all very basic. Personally I quite like that lack of pretence, but some might not. Will definitely be returning for my next MoT if in area.

A few times now I have been the one who has had to take it in for its annual service or to get something checked out on it and the staff are always so good to me. For example they drive me into town and pick me up when the car is done so I don't have to waste time sitting around waiting, and whats more they always stick to their times. Sales wise I wouldn't know what they are like, I guess the same as anywhere else thats trying to sell you something. But at least they have a nice shiney building for you to do all your negotiating in and good after care service! They also sell Mitsubishi and Skoda's.

I serviced my car there for the first time but the experience was average. They quickly investigated my problems and rectified them immediately. To me this is very very impressive. My MOT was expired which I didn't realise. Since they have my record on their database they reminded me that. The price was reasonable too. They also gave me a nice DSG Leon as courtesy car and I was very happy about it. I have only been driving a manual Leon and never knew what DSG is felt like. I would definitely use White Dove again.

Work near this garage and have always thought they were okay…read more However they changed an exhaust for me a month ago and the new exhaust makes my car sound like a tractor. So loud that people stare at me at traffic lights. No new exhaust should be noisy! The owner refused to change it and said it 'blows fumes out' so it does what it should. He acknowledged that he had put a cheap exhaust on, and had also made a comment about my car needing to be scrapped (it's a tidy R reg.. no rust, silent engine, perfect drive), and clearly decided to treat my car as such. He told me the noise was because my car's emissions were out. I may be female, but I know when someone's talking a load of rubbish. Having had other garages look at it, they have said that the new tailpipe is shorter than the one he removed and should be either longer, or angled downwards. Again, the owner of City Tyres keeps saying that 'it blows air out' and that he will not replace it as it isn't faulty. When I pointed out that the exhaust should be longer, he told me that I 'should have gone to Toyota'. I'm currently going down the Trading Standards route with this guy. He is patronising, sexist and obnoxious. Don't go there. I will update as things unfold. ** Have increased the ratings slightly. Hmmm. I went back armed with DOT guidelines and a load of legislation provided for me by Trading Standards regarding the sale of goods or services. All of a sudden the owner stopped being quite so condescending and argumentative, and started staring intently at the order catalogue and then said that the supplier had given them the exhaust for a hatchback instead of a saloon. So, too short, then. As I had been saying all along. They added an extention to the tailpipe.. and at this point the owner disappeared and I was left dealing with one of the mechanics, who was a whole lot more pleasant. It cost me a whole load of stress, several phonecalls to Trading Standards, a visit to another garage, and a very unpleasant shouting match over the phone with the owner, who insisted he was refusing to change anything. Note of warning he seems to think that shouting loudly and repeating the same phrase over and over, makes him right. Going back there was pretty hard, given I will usually do anything to avoid confrontation. If he had listened to me at the start, admitted he'd fitted the wrong exhaust and treated me with a little common courtesy, I would be giving them 5 stars. I work approximately 30 feet from this garage and it's very convenient but I will never, ever go there again. A shame, cos the rest of the lads are pretty nice guys.
