Great and easy experience. Used Jack cpl times now and will take my cars and comes highly recommended. Very hard to find a garage who just does the job and charges correct amount.
Very good and happy with the result. Only reason the price went up is because I asked them to do some advisory work. The only item that it failed on, they didn't charge to fix. Will always use for my mot and service.
Punctual done a great job highly recommend
Excellent service, excellent price, and in such a convenient location too. I will definitely be using Duffy's again.
Great little place. Real prices
Nice people, did everything that was asked, price matched, can't fault!
Work was done without any fuss and for a fair price
Friendly staff, everything explained fully. Not the cheapest, but very professional service.
Great service
Nice people, honest, exactly what you want in a garage!
Friendly staff, regas took about 40 minutes.
Good job, quick turnaround time and carried out exact work that was quoted. Would use again.
Excellent and very straightforward to deal with. They even collected the car and dropped it back off at my house for no extra charge. I would highly recommend and would use this garage again without hesitation.
Fantastic professional garage. Highly recommended. Will be using them again. No hidden costs or anything and kept me upto date on progress
This was a prompt, convenient and honest repair that 'did what it said on the box'. They picked up the car, sorted out the issue, and brought it back all to agreed time scales. They also spotted another fault, which upped the cost... but I guess that's cars for you! ;-)
Fab needed new air conditioning motor done job fast and cheap thanks a lots
Great service. Car got a wash too.
Booked a full service, after GC autos came out as the cheapest quote with a lot of good reviews. Was quoted £130, they called me back within an hour to book me in for a few days later. I was told it would take about an hour. Dropped off my car, exactly an hour later they called to say my car was ready to collect. I paid the £130, with a couple of things mentioned to watch out for next time. Couldn’t ask for better! Thank you!
Wheel alignment couldn’t be completed as other works required. Clear explanation given without a hard sell and no charge. Booked car in for all work plus wheel alignment in a few days time. Polite and friendly staff.
Impressive premises,friendly staff,job done on time.
Good communication at first and very competitive price. Job completed swiftly Took a little while to get the invoice and lots of chasing but got there in the end - hence the only 4 stars.
Great service & competitive price. Fitted new clutch, fly wheel and slave cylinder to car that wouldn't go in to gear. Used pitstop several times and find mark friendly and very knowledgeable.
Excellent garage, really nice guys and fixed the problem quickly. Highly recommend!
My wheel bearings x2 needed replacing. I’d driven over 200 miles over Christmas to visit family in Newcastle and the noise my car was making had gotten worse during the journey to the point I didn’t want to risk the long drive back with my 1 year old in the car, in case it was serious. Anyway, I contacted Mark Xmas eve and he quoted me straight away to take a look but the soonest he could do it was the 27th, understandably. It was arranged without any problem. When I took it in on the 27th he diagnosed it quickly, did the work the same day and had it back to me sounding and driving like it should. He only charged what he paid for parts plus a fair price for labour. If I ever need my car looked at when I’m in Newcastle again I will definitely go to Mark.
Great service, fitted my car in at short notice despite them being really busy. Thank you.
Good service. Highly recomended.
Abstemiously brilliant price and service. Can't recommend them highly enough. They even responded on a Sunday to questions via text!
Car works fine after having it in for a replacement alternator belt. Only downside I have is my side mirror has been damaged and is very loose . They both are very loose now. Apart from this brilliant lads and quick service.
Performed job quickly at price quoted. Good waiting facilities.
Excellent service, can’t recommend highly enough will be back for me next service!

Very friendly and professional service would strongly recommend Tripal garage
Jack was amazing from start to finish, he also fixed another problem with my Renault megane that no less than 6 other garages including a Renault specialist were not able to fix it is running perfectly since taking it to Duffys Motors and will continue to use this garage in the future, I would highly recommend this garage to anybody who wants the best affordable service and a mechanic who is second to none, if I could give him 10 stars I would.
Good job done, would defiantly use them again without fail. Would give 5 stars, only thing was I was waiting longer than anticipated. Thanks again lads!
Everything was done with no fuss. Car picked up in the morning and returned once the work was complete. Nice and easy, price as quoted after I added an extra. Will use again.
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.
