Great service. Very knowledgeable and helpful.

Friendly, professional staff and kept informed of the process from beginning to end.  My service was performed promptly and my car was ready for collection and back on the road without any undue delay.

Staff are extremely friendly and helpful; I felt very comfortable leaving my Mazda with then and the work done would be to a high professional standard.  
Southwest provided me a loan car without any hassle or cost.
The price of the service was completely reasonable. 

I would recommend and return.

Excellent service. Very friendly staff and the work was done quickly, affordably, and to a high standard. 

Parking was easy in their yard. Couldn’t ask for more. Perfect experience.

Easy to use with work done to the fixed price. Would use this service again.

Excellent service, very thorough and  friendly staff!

Friendly and courteous staff. Knowledgeable.

The lads that worked on my car were very knowledgeable and helpful.  Called and told me what else was happening with my car and let me decide if I wanted it fixed first. Great experience.

I was given excellent service, they communicated brilliantly and they got the work done as quickly as possible, highly recommend this workshop.
