Bad service
Really nice guys, completed the work on my car and explained all work done. Would recommend to all.
Excellent and swift service. Thank you.
Got car MOT'd and serviced by Sloane Services. It was more expensive than the online quote, but that was because it needed two new shocks and two tyres, and fitting the shocks was a lot more labour. So it was good value, and it was done to time and they were a pleasure to deal with.
Helpful at providing advice!
Professional and friendly approch. Work properly done in really a short time. Highly recommented.
Good value for money. Paul was very friendly and he fixed my car In no time. Very nice and satisfactory experiance. I Will recommend to everybody who want good service. Thanks Paul, just in time to organise my trip.
Friendly and efficient service, wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
Paul was really helpful and had the fan and re-wiring done within a couple of hours and I picked my car up the same day. They also cleaned it for me which was an added bonus and greatly appreciated! Im sticking with this garage from now on!
Like most car owners, I have my preferred garage but tried Paul and his team when my usual place couldn't urgently schedule a repair to pass an MOT. Paul took the car in the next day, talked me through the whole process, gave me options and completed an excellent job exactly when he said he would. Would highly recommend.
Gold star service. Repaired my wing mirror at half the price of what it would've cost to replace the whole unit and worked to a high standard. Good customer service as he missed a bit of the work and came back the following day at no extra cost.
Chris came out to me to plug the diagnostic in he also took out some oil as there was too much in proper decent mechanic and a proper down to earth fella will defo be using him in the future
really pleased
Excellent service, Chris turned up the next working day by 10.30am, fixed my issue but 11.30 am. I must say very efficient and mobile to get me back to work ASAP. Thanks Chris
Very good service i will use again /know he's stuff
BMW X5 rear suspension issues and MOT and tyres Wow...I have never been so impressed by a garage...used them for the first time this last week. Antony is a total superstar. 1) he knows what he is doing...after trying another local garage a month ago, Antony got to the bottom of my sagging rear suspension...turned out it was multiple problems. He went and tested every piece, the compressor, the valve block, the air bags, the pipes and finally the little computer that controls all of it. He found the issues and gave me options on how to fix it for the cheapest price possible. 2) great value - he offers very reasonable prices for high quality parts...you can source your own if u like but u can trust him to get parts (all Parts come with a 1 year warranty) 3) great communication - see above...he keeps you informed and gives you options 4) honest...if something takes 20 min...he charges you accordingly...none of this rounding up to the nearest 2 hours that u get at many other garages...he understands that cars can be money pits and does what’s he can to help! Highly recommend. A total gem!! I will be doing all my business with them!!!!
Very pleased overall Price as quoted kept fully informed and all seems working fine
Very communicative in the run up to the appointment, good price quoted and re-quoted after I changed my request. The job was all brake discs and pads; two of the brake calipers had seized (unforeseeable). Antony managed to release one with a lot of effort, but the other had to be replaced. Again, very communicative about the extra work and parts required, and a fair additional price quoted. Also put the effort into removing rust build-up around the brakes, and some preventative maintenance to make future brake work easier. In summary, very good service at a fair price from an honest and knowledgeable mechanic.
very good job at a good price. Very pleased.
Great experience, very nice people. Would definitely use them again in future. Highly recommended!
Unable to give a solid diagnosis but never charged me so nothing ventured nothing gained
Very good service.
Took for a major service, and also had to change tyres and brake pads. Great price and great job and keep you inform all the time. Will definitely be using them as 1st choice all the time. Thanks
Quick service, nice team. Would use again.

The majority of modern cars have air conditioning fitted as standard as it is vital for making the ride in a car comfortable for passengers.
An air conditioning system works by using refrigerant gas to push air through several components in the aircon system and then into your car.
Whether its freezing cold or boiling hot, it’s your air conditioning which makes driving in such conditions bearable, so it’s important to look after the system!
Surprisingly, over 10% of air-con gas escapes through the system each year. This means that the power of the system drops significantly over time. However, your air conditioning will not be checked during an MOT or service which is why it’s important that you make an effort to have it checked specifically.
Car manufacturers recommend that cars should have their air con recharged (Regassed) every two years.
Even if your car is new it should be something that you have checked as your cars performance could be significantly affected.
This is because the engine will have to work harder to produce cold air if there is an issue with the air conditioning meaning more fuel will be required to make the system work.
If the system has not been recharged in two years, the drop in engine performance will be noticeable.
As soon as you realise a drop in the power of your air con you should take the vehicle in for repair. If there is an unpleasant smell being emitted, this is another sign that the air con needs looking at.
The job of recharging air conditioning is not complex and will not take long.
The mechanic will carry out a leaks check on the air con system before the repair work, to ensure the job can be carried out without causing damage to the car.
As soon as this is complete, the technician will be able to recharge the system.
The mechanic carrying out the work will first remove old refrigerant from your car as well as the current gas and lubricant.
They will then replace it with new gas and lubricants.
The job will also typically include an entire system clean out which is carried out to remove any bacterial build up.
This is often the reason for a strange or unpleasant smell being emitted from the air conditioning which is why it is important to have this job completed every two years.
The whole process should take around 45 minutes as there are no new parts required for install.
The air conditioning in your car should be noticeably improved after a regas if you haven’t had one for over two years.
If you want to ensure your air conditioning stays in tip top condition, make sure to use it regularly as this the compressor will stay lubricated.
