Thorough check with oil and oil/air filter change. Quick turn around and fair price.

Fantastic garage! Fitted me in on the same day, really happy with the work they did on my clutch, will definitely use them again!
All good. good service
I can not recommend this garage enough..... Took my bmw x3 to the a few weeks ago and they were great friendly. Fair prices. Good work. So I booked my BMW 320 with them after I got a report from halfords that all my pads and discs need replacing at a cost of £480 then I talked to the area manager at halfords when he called me (after leaving a review about there prices) and he told me my front brakes are fine and it's just the rear pads and brakes but the front had a few mm left. But at B&G These guys called me to tell me my front pads are new no problem there and should last for miles and miles and there's nothing up with my rear pads or discs and they don't want to just waste my money but the brake fluid needed changing and that would sort out my service light..... less than £30 and half an hour.... top guys I will be telling everyone to come here. Thanks again its amazing to find a garage tou can trust. You put your life your family lives and other road users lives when your car isn't right but finding a garage that you can trust is worth its weight in gold.
Excellent customer service work was done in the time scale stated car is now spot on I will now use these guys for all future work on our cars
Great MOT and service
Fuel pipe broken and the garage replaced it with reasonable price in timely fashion.
Very good customer service from very friendly and professional staff. Got my brake pads and disks done all round on my 1 series BMW and I’m very pleased with the work. I would definitely use them again.
First time I've used these guys, did a great job and fair price, would recommend them to anyone
Comes to home. Had service and mot for 160 on bmw 116i. All good. Honest about which parts were used aswell, bimmer.
Great job, so convenient, easy booking, will definitely use again.
Turned up as quoted and was very honest. Luckily the car was fixed and he did an amazing job. MOT next.
I was pleased to have Lee answer my questions on the full service and first mot on my Fiesta ST and book in the job promply. It was reassuring to know that he knows his way around and has an appreciation for performance Fords. I would recommend this independent mechanic and would not hesitate to use again.

Excellent service and it only took 15 mins to re gas my air con
Visited the Swinton store just outside Manchester. The re-gas of the air conditioning was completed professionally and each stage reported to me. Was offered a mug of tea. I would highly recommend for car services and the bikes area was very busy. A good indicator that the service is high quality and trusted.
Arrived at 8.50am was all done and dusted by 9.55am. Good service prompt and clean waiting area!
Good customer relationship. Educated me more on how best to maintain my car.

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.
