Incredible service received. Serviced my car at the price advertised, which was significantly cheaper than competitors. Provided a checklist that helped validate all the actions have taken place. In addition completely cleaned the car both inside and out for free which would have cost me £20. I'm addition to the service I had rear brake pads and disc changed plus front calliper. The price was again cheaper than the competition and the quality just as good. Received photos during the work too!
Quick and straightforward service (oil and oil filter change) - amiable, easy going guy. So far so good. Plus they were the cheapest from all garages I have listed.

Am really happy with the service these guys provided. Had my chains and a few other bits changed and straight away drove to France on a 700mile round trip with no issues. Plus they got it back to me in just a few days in time for a couple of test drives. Great service and yes I would recommend
Brilliant overall service, work was delayed by a day but got the job done for a good price.
When I gave five stars it means five in every department, very good price, good job, helpful, friendly, you can't fault this garage, will definatly use again and highly recommended, many thanks, Ron.
Marvelous service, I've never encountered a garage that picks up your car, leaves a courtesy car for your use, does the work and drops the car back to your door. Incredible!! I was kept informed of all other needs and prices and Patrick was knowledgeable and helpful without making me feel overwhelmed with terminologies. My ride runs like a dream now. I would wholeheartedly recommend this garage.

The cambelt is a rubber belt which controls the timing of a vehicle’s internal combustion engines. It is vital in the process of making the vehicle run smoothly as it also ensures the crankshaft and camshaft rotate in synchronisation.
A snapped cambelt is uncommon however tension issues are more widespread.
If the belt is too loose it will end up whipping around inside the engine which will cause a variety of knock on effects and if the belt is too tight it will put a strain on the bearings of the cogs it's fitted to.
A tight belt will cause a whining noise to be emitted from the engine so if you hear this sound make sure to book a repair as soon as possible. You shouldn’t wait until this happens though, as the damage caused by a faulty cambelt will end up costing you even more money in repairs.
As you will see in the FAQ section and video above, the cost of a cambelt repair can vary depending on the vehicle and garage. The biggest cost associated with this job type will be the labour itself.
This is because the parts are based deep within the engine and getting to them takes time. The components themselves won’t cost you a huge amount as they are not complex so don’t be surprised to see labour costs making up the biggest part of the bill.
Even if your cambelt doesn’t completely break its important to keep an eye on the component as per the instructions provided by your cars manufacturer, if you leave it for too long, the belt could snap and cause catastrophic engine failure.
The cambelt will need replacing at some point, usually around the 30,000 – 50,000 mile mark but make sure to consult the vehicles owner’s manual to double check as it may vary depending on the vehicle.
