I’ve booked in to replace a driveshaft CV joint last evening and the team accepted my request within few hours. Usually I need to wait at-least 4 business days to get an appointment elsewhere where I got my appointment very next day itself.
I have been provided with constant updates before collecting the vehicle and while servicing by emails / calls. The team has fixed the issue in no matter of time and I got my vehicle all ready within few hours.
Overall I am a happy with their service and their professionalism and I am happy to recommend this wonderful team for anyone who wants professional vehicle service in much lesser price when compared to other places.
Thanks to the entire team and I will definitely visit again for all my future services/MOT with your team going forward.”
