Across 252 Google reviews at 4.7, people describe an old-style garage with old-school values: honest, polite staff, fair prices and clear explanations. Reviewers say they ring to check before doing extra work and ring again when the car is ready. Some customers have been coming for years, one for nearly 15. Payment is cash only.
Two reviewers use the words “old style garage” and two “old school values”. In practice that means a phone call rather than an app, cash rather than cards, and the people who do the work explaining it plainly.
