Reviews Summary

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive: customers repeatedly praise friendly, professional staff, quick turnaround, good value and convenient pick‑up/drop‑off, with several callers singling out reliable workmanship and performance work (ECU/remaps, exhausts). A minority, however, mention booking and communication problems, a few instances of incomplete work or part failures (eg oil filter), and mixed experiences with air‑con regas—some saying it was rushed or incorrectly charged. Despite those occasional hiccups, most reviewers express strong satisfaction and willingness to return or recommend the garage.
