Customers are overwhelmingly positive: staff are repeatedly described as professional, friendly and helpful, and guests often praise clear communication (video tours), complimentary cleaning and good value via BookMyGarage. Recurring negatives centre on booking and communication mix‑ups, long waits/poor time management, unexpected or high extra charges and occasional service errors (for example overfilled oil or missed checks). Sentiment therefore leans strongly positive for workmanship and customer care but is undermined at times by inconsistent administration and pricing transparency.
