My mates alloys on his VW Golf were recently repaired by Smart Alloy Edinburgh and I have to say I was really impressed as they now look like they are brand new. Amazing considering they were really corroded and pitted before. read more

Had my bumper damaged in a car park by someone who just drove off found…read moresprayaway on google with loads of good reviews and contacted them. They came to my work and repaired my bumper as good as new the cost was great they were £200 cheaper than the local bodyshop had quoted and the job was done within a few hours. Many thanks to Alex for his help and advice would be delighted to recommend Alex and Sprayaway to friends family and collegues.

I admit I am one of those girls who is clueless about car and all things mechanical…read more I always dread when the mot and service comes around and what garage to go too incase i am ripped off. I came across this garage on groupon where they had a service and mot package at a really reasonable price. It did cross my mind that maybe it was too good to be true but off i went. I dropped the car off and headed into town. The garage is ideally located for buses either into town or to the fort but on this day i was meeting a friend for lunch. After a few hrs i got a call to say my car had failed its mot and my heart sank... expecting to be hit with a bill of hundreds i was told that it failed on the same thing as last year only the other side. I had used a different garage last year and was quoted roughly the same price. I later found out that the fail was very common with my type of car. I was quite happy to pay and headed back to collect the car. I wasnt sure if they took card payments so i tool cash. Overall i was pleasently surprised and i would have no hesitation in using this garage again.

The place is run by a friendly Italian guy who took time to explain the options and prices. It took 2 days to complete as originally advised and they have done a superb job all round and the cost was a lot less then going to Ford. Highly recommended.

Now, when we first got the price to respray our rusty campervan, we had to sit down and…read morehyperventilate a little, especially when we were warned that it wouldn't likely extend the lifespan of said vehicle particularly much. But, we were sold on the detail that Alec explained that Scotspray would go into - spraying roof, interior, adding stonechip to the base. Getting quotes from others didn't compare in terms of the work that was offered, so we settled, with our inner spendthrift having a heart attack, on Scotspray and prayed that it would be the right choice. And it so very much was. Outside of our house sits a Ford Transit that looks 15 years younger than it did a month ago - and as much as I was looking forward to getting our van tidied up, I didn't expect such a remarkable change. It gleams. It's changed from standard white to a beautiful metallic sea grey, and there isn't a mark in place that belies it's original colour. Bumps and dings have all vanished without a trace, and rust? what rust? When the team at Scotspray found one of the sills were rotten, before continuing, a call was made to my other half to discuss next steps (which involved us replacing the sill and Scotspray fitting it). When the van was completed, the wheels were found to be wanting, so Scotspray had them powdercoated at the shop next door, for gratis. That saved us a job, as we were planning to replace them for the same reason. Scotspray just did everything right and I won't have any hesitation again to use them for any other body work that I need doing. Fantastic company and fantastic results.
I am 100% satisfied with this organisation. My car was subject to vandalism and required…read morerepainting. I was given excellent personal service and advised about how best to treat the vehicle. They arranged a date and time convenient to me. The car when it was returned was in perfect condtion. The interior was kept clean and the exterior was washed. The finish of the respray was excellent, as good as the manufacturers and left no indication that the car had been damaged. The car was returned on time. Although I hope I dont have to use them again as I hope my car is never in need of bodywork repair ie.subject to vandalism I know that if any problems arose again I know I could trust that the car is in safe hands recieving the best possible treatment.
Tynecastle have been servicing my car for the past two years and I'd certainly recommend them. They…read morehave fixed my car promptly and without recommending any unnecessary work. A quick phone call books my car in usually within 2 days, I get a call if any major work needs done and then another call when it's ready to pick up. They euxplained what needs fixed, how much it would cost and how long it would take clearly and so that I understood everything. The only minor thing that was a bit annoying the first time, is that if it's something minor like a tire needing replacing then they'll just do it and not call you but once you know it's fine.
Very expensive. Information given on there website for servicing is false. On website they say that…read morefull service is for £126, but at the end of the service in there final bill they will tell you that 126 was only labour cost. Charges for oil, filters etc is separate and you will end up paying huge sum of money. Tricky way of getting customers in and then charge way higher then other garages.

The wheel alignment they also carried out fixed the slight pull to the left. The downside is the waiting area, I don't know when it was last cleaned but it has been a while.

On calling to enquire if this was covered under warranty I was reassured, without hesitation, that it was (for three years) and told to bring my car in. A new Catalytic Converter was ordered and fitted withing 24 hours, no questions asked. The member of staff who dealt with me from start to finish was Liam, He was professional, polite and friendly and kept me informed at every stage. I was very happy with the service provided by Kwik Fit who proved true to their after sales commitments . Excellent service.
The cylinder head gasket went on our little Fiat Punto, I phoned around some of the garages locally…read moreto us and was getting silly quotes for the repair. Dearest was £500. Got a hold of MCRH number from the internet. Spoke to Ian on the phone and explained to him what had happened. he said he would call back in 10 minutes with a quote. he did and it was a lot cheaper than the cheapest quote we got locally. Ian came from bathgate to Rutherglen on a bank holiday monday, He arrived 20 minutes before the 10.30am appointment. I handed him the keys to the car and he got on with the job. A perfectly pleasant man. Not only do you get cheaper work done, there is a complete breakdown of how the quote was worked out on the invoice. The job was perfect and our car is actually running better than ever. Not only was he cheaper but we were also given a money off voucher for any further work if we use him. The best thing is he comes to you, so there no pick up charges. Would definatly recommend this company.

Quality of the work is excellent and the prices are much lower than from other similar businesses.

Only yesterday, I was checking my tyre pressures and noticed one of the valves was not visible, I popped into KW Auto Fix and one of the mechanics fixed it straight away, and then rechecked my tyre pressure for me, no charge - fantastic !!!! Later on in the day, my car broke down, I called the AA who advised a new battery, so I called KW Auto Fix and they managed to order in and fit a brand new battery before they closed for the evening, the price was right and their service was very swift. I would recommend them to anyone.
Can only say I've had many problems with my car after using this garage. To the point I will need…read moreto fork out hundreds of pounds to fix their mistakes. Will be taking the matter further. Poor attitude, poor service, constantly over pricing parts and seem to be letting people who know very little about cars work on them. Not professional by any standards. Will NEVER use again. I was warned about this company before I used them, wished I'd taken the advice. Worst company I've ever had the displeasure of giving money. They say you can't polish a turd though. Simple as that. These reviews seem far fetched and reading through I've noticed that some have obviously been taken down. (I can only imagine they were negative ones?) Because one user says in their review which gives it away. Why have a site that reviews things if you're deleting the one's that the company don't like? It's best for people to be aware and give a true representation of the facts. As I said. Disappointed. Avoid at all costs and take it to a more established garage. Thanks Steven

Manderson Coachworks were recommended by a mate and they basically saved my life..I couldn't believe how good the car looked after they did their thing...a true work of art. It cost me less than a third of the hire insurance excess and it was half the price of a quote I got from the big Chips Away chain (who couldn't do it in time anyway). Needless to say, the car hire company couldn't tell a thing, which was amazing considering the mess I had previously made of the car! Great craftsmanship and really nice guys. Majorly grateful to this business....totally recommended!!
