Reviews Summary

Customers mostly praise friendly, helpful staff, clear communication (often via vehicle‑health videos), speedy service and complimentary valets, with many saying it offers good value for a main‑dealer service. Recurring complaints centre on booking‑system mix‑ups (particularly third‑party bookings), occasional poor or delayed communication, some abrupt reception interactions, surprise extra charges and a few workmanship oversights (broken clips, incomplete jobs). While most experiences are positive, the minority of strong negatives point to inconsistency around bookings and customer care that the garage should address.
