Our workshop is large, with dedicated car bays and dedicated commercial bays, and our technicians are fully time served and City and Guilds qualified.

How we work

Sometimes we have to tell people news about their vehicle they did not want to hear. This is how we handle it.

“We give as many options as humanly possible, in clear terms you can understand. We won’t baffle you with jargon or pressure you into work you don’t want.”
