The person who was doing the puncture asked me to go with him to the workshop area. Shows me the tyre and states, is that TURNBULLS work when he saw the plug fitted. I said no, i fitted the plug 6 months prior. He runs his fingers through loose rubber shavings and states the car has been running on its rim and the tyre is dangerous so cant fit a plug. I know the loose shavings came from me when i was repairing the tyre with a plug. The hole has to be roughened up prior to inserting the plug.. I had informed another member of staff to tell the guy working on the tyre (cant call him a fitter) to put 33 pounds pressure in the tyre. I had also said to Andrew (the owner) that i cant run a tyre flat, sensors warn me when pressure drops.When i started to reverse the rear left tyre warning light was on. The car can also tell me tyre pressures. front left which he had checked for leak also had 38 lbs a square inch, rear left had 26 lbs a square inch, not 33lbs as requested. The work and diagnostics was so sub standard that when i got home i blew a tyre up myself and deflated the other as the pressure was over excessive and checked all wheel nuts. Overexcessive pressure can cause an accident when cornering as theres less rubber on the road surface.Incidently i thought i would like to mention that i have worked as a mechanic most of my life and also done mots and furthermore my car only two day prior had just had its mot which passed. Can only assume there trying to sell extra tyres before xmas. My tyre which was only half worn could have been sold of as a part worn tyre which is a win win, well for them anyway, not me.. Felt it was a fairer business when Andrews father had it in the old place. DEFINATELY a bad experience for me. I will repair the tyre myself, another plug should do it. With tyre pressure being to high on the front left made the car dangerous when i left the garage. If the rear tyre was much less than it was (26 lbs) it could have come away from the rim when cornering. How hard is it to blow a tyre up to the correct pressure? UPDATE!--have checked front left tyre and at the plug repair , using a little water located small leak at plug (bubbles). Fitted another plug alongside and rechecked, leak stopped! on rear found a screw nail in tyre, removed screw with pliers and inserted plug, tested with water, no problem, all leaks repaired and pressure maintained. Would advise drivers to purchase a plug repair kit from e bay and a small electric pump from Home Bargains for a fiver and your independant.Majority of repairs can be done with the wheel on the car. Repairing a puncture is not a difficult job (well for most people). Abbotsinch would rather sell you a new tyre. Larger premises equates more rent to pay so sales staff must push tyre sales to generate the extra cash needed for the extra rent. If your female dont think about it. They will look at you as an easy target. Dont be tempted to get the tracking done either (another gimmick) 4x4 s climb mountains and dont require tracking reset. With reference to Jack Austins negative review whom i do not know i would like to point out that his review was inserted because he survived the accident. Dead people dont write reviews!

At first seemed ok, although never once was I given a receipt.The other year while my car was in for repair I was told I needed my full braking system done, which I paid for. Approx 18 months later again i was told my brakes "were a disgrace" and needed done..again.I again paid for this work,i then had to return car for various reasons..front brakes seizing on, also handbrake seized on. I have now just been informed my rear brakes have never been changed in years, never mind twice in under 2 years, only adjusted to improve them. With no receipts I have no comeback for this. SO DONT BE ROBBED LIKE ME!!

Having moved to the area 4 years ago I set about looking for a local garage that I could trust for…read moreMOT's and general repairs. As an engineer myself and son of a retired mechanic (not to mention a bit of a petrolhead) I have been working on cars since I was waist high, so finding somewhere I trust completely is a tall order but John Brady's have managed just that. My first visit here was to have an MOT carried out where I found the garage staff to be pleasant and friendly. They also took some time to chat about my car and build confidence that they knew what they were talking about. Following visits for MOT's on both mine and my wife's cars have built a good, trusting relationship with John Brady's. When I used them to price some specialist tyres for my track car they were good enough to call around their suppliers and then price match my usual online supplier. I have found them to be very reasonable for normal road tyres for various cars now. I have also had some diagnostics and repairs carried out when I haven't had the time or tooling to do it myself and have found the pricing to be very fair. The well lit MOT bay and workshop are visible through the large windows in the reception area showing that they have nothing to hide (anyone who has been in a dim lit back street garage will know...). In summary - this is a friendly, trustworthy garage who will take the time to explain any work required and do it to high standards for fair prices. Give them a try.

Some relevant facts:…read more - I hate dealing with servicing my car - I don't drive a merc - I am very lazy Mainly Mercs is where I've used a couple of times to get my car serviced/MOT and I've got to say, I'm very impressed with the service/cost. I tend to leave anything to do with my car for way too long and never get it serviced when I'm meant to which meant this time, there was quite a lot to get done to my car to get it MOT-worthy. The only real complaint I have about this place is the "road" it's on - it's more like a single-lane dirt track and you better be careful of cars coming the other way and potholes. All up though, the service here is great and the staff are really friendly and helpful.

On March 2021, found my passenger wing mirror had been ripped off by a group of boys who had been causing some issues in the area whilst my car was parked outside my boyfriend's house. Phoned up first thing in the morning and was told to bring it in. They had a look, quoted £50 which was extremely good considering they were busy and I wasn't booked in. I joked about it happening on my birthday. They fixed the car quickly but wouldn't take any money off of me, telling me it was a birthday gift. It really made my day to hear that. Thanks again, guys!
