I don't get any favours or discount for doing this review from the garage but if they read this and want to offer i'll take anything they give.

WILL NEVER AGAIN USE THIS GARAGE My car was booked in for a…read moreSaturday (Booked in advance) And was told I will have it back by noon. Was told someone will collect my car around 09.00-09.15. By 10.45 I phoned the garage and was told someone is on the way, about 30 minutes later someone came to collect the car and was told you'll have it back in a couple of hours. (It will be sorted) !!! The phrase "It will be sorted" was used a lot. By around 4pm I phoned the garage to find out where my car was and was told someone will phone you back ! Just after 4pm I got a call from the garage owner informing me they had sent the wrong part (Both n/s & o/s work was being done) one side was ok, the other side was wrong - I will have to put the old part back on... give me 30 minutes and you'll have it back. My car was delivered back to me after 5pm, the mechanic who brought it back said the garage owner will phone you first thing on the Monday morning to "get it sorted" Monday morning came with no phone calls ! Mid morning I phoned the garage, the owner was not in (He was in a meeting) The mechanic said he will try and "Sort it" in the afternoon when a ramp was free, he also said the correct part had come in. After 12 I phoned again, The mechanic said the owner was not in and won't be in today for personal reasons, I will try and get it sorted this afternoon. I told the mechanic I need to know when it will be done, yet again "It Will Be Sorted" was used again. I had things myself to do that day and told the garage I will give it till 3.30pm. Yet again I phoned the garage around 4pm needing to know when (It will get sorted) I was told bring it down next morning (Tuesday) and we will squeeze it in to get the job done "Don't worry it will be sorted" I explained I needed it done as I was going away on the Thursday. Tuesday morning came and I arrived at the garage at 10am, the owner of the garage was in the reception and told me I have just left you a voicemail about an hour ago "Stating he couldn't do it today, they had sent the wrong part (again) ! we will phone you later to arrange to get it done. Frustrated I left and went home, yes there was a message left (30 minutes ago, not an hour- as I was still home an hour ago). At the end of the message the owner added Don't phone us, we will phone you to get it sorted. At around 5pm on Tuesday with no phone calls from the garage I phoned them and was told Bring it down first thing tomorrow (Wednesday) we will get it sorted...... I reminded them again I was away on Thursday so definitely needed it done. Don't worry it will be sorted !!!!! Wednesday morning came I dropped my car at the garage at 08.30. Gave the keys to the owner and told him I need it back by noon (As I had to be somewhere at 01.50pm) - IT WILL BE DONE BY 12 "He said" I got a phone call just before 12, your car is done, I'm just doing the paperwork. It will be ready in 10 minutes. "I was cheeky and asked will I get any discount" for all the inconvenience. Was told 'No' we have had to cancel other jobs to get yours done, it has cost us money she said, it was the suppliers fault !!! OK - No harm in asking anyway. I got to the garage at 12noon, and was told it will be ready in 10 minutes (take a seat whilst you wait)..... and wait..... and wait till eventually it was ready around 12.45pm. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE - NEVER AGAIN - JUST HOPE THE JOB WAS DONE PROPERLY.

The car sold to me seemed in good condition after a further inspection I have a few concerns he sent it to his own garage and said nothing was wrong I then took it to my own garage who immediately assessed and advised it was deemed unsafe with immediate affect. This garage knew I had children and still let me drive away after a BOTCHED MOT if this MOT was done correctly it would of failed. Imagine driving your three very young children around in a vehicle that essentially could of killed us!! Although they can offer repair first when taken to two seprate garages they would not even quote as it is not safe the third said we're looking at over two thousand so then was offered a refund. This took four weeks and lies and lies promises of it coming. Messed me around until I sought legal advice. Thr garage compensated me 200 pound but still did not cover the full cost of the car and not one slight remouese of what hassle this has caused or danger. Auto trader has since had 11 5 star reviews on the same day which are fake knowing full well I will be coming down on them once I received my money. I have reported everything to the right authorities to protect others lives and before someone is killed.

You can have your car m o t done anywhere but it was great to have someone explain about advisories and to give you a detailed list of costs before any work was done. It makes you feel important as a customer and valued as well. The prices are reasonable and the garage lads are very polite, even taking the time to explain what work needs doing and the reasons why that work is necessary. This is great, as sometimes it can be a bit daunting when your a woman who is not very mechanically minded! I will take my car there again in future should I need any work done, and a big thanks for the great service and lovely staff.
