Question 1

Can I drop my car down any time?

Accepted Answer

We operate by appointment only, but please do contact us if you have experienced a vehicle breakdown and we will try to accommodate receipt of your vehicle on the same day wherever possible. It is not always possible we will be able to attend to repairs the same day. Sometimes even the most organised can find themselves caught short for a valid MOT, please phone to see if we can help.

Question 2

What is your lead time?

Accepted Answer

For smaller tasks we can often accommodate you with just a few days notice, for larger jobs, it can take around a week during quieter periods. Busy times of year tend to be the three weeks prior to Easter or Christmas, the week before any bank holiday and both March and October are particularly busy for MOT testing. Quieter periods are April and August.

Question 3

Will I get an unexpected bill?

Accepted Answer

No, all work requires authorisation. This does mean that we need a response from you in order to progress a repair. If we cannot gain authorisation, we may have to move to the next job and rebook your vehicle back in.

Question 4

Do you offer discounts?

Accepted Answer

We do not offer discounts.

Question 5

Do you work for trade customers?

Accepted Answer

We are very lucky to work with some of our peers in the industry, we do not offer trade rates.

Question 6

Can I bring my own parts?

Accepted Answer

No as we do not fit supplied car parts.

Question 7

Will my car be kept inside?

Accepted Answer

Whilst your car is under repair, it will be kept inside the workshop overnight. If work has been completed and you are unable to collect the same day, it may have to wait outside, at your own risk, for collection.

Question 8

Do you have a car park?

Accepted Answer

There is parking outside the workshop, it is available for use but no insurance or acceptable of liability is offered.

Question 9

How can I pay
