Our verdict

Our judgement: this business suits you if you like a parts-backed workshop where components are on the shelf. We rate the stated promise to agree unplanned work with you first a strength because it caps bill shock [1]. The company age needs a sentence of explanation, so ask how long the current ownership has run the garage and confirm your estimate in writing before work starts.

Strengths

  • Garage and parts counter sit together: repairs, servicing and Class 4 MOTs plus thousands of stocked parts, with separate workshop and parts phone lines [1].

  • The site publishes its VAT number, business hours and a promise of updates plus a conversation before any unplanned work goes ahead [1].

  • Customer evidence is healthy: 199 Google reviews at 4.6, seen 3 September 2026 [2].

Limitations

  • The 25-year trading claim sits beside a 2024 incorporation date, which suggests a recent change of legal form worth asking about [1][3].

  • Mobil Service Centre status is stated on the website [1]. No £ figures or insurance details are published.
