Dropped my car off Saturday morning. Had it ready to collect just after 4. Was great service, no fuss at all! Will definitely be returning.
Collected my car as arranged, they carried out repair and returned my car, very polite and courteous. The bill was as the estimated quote. Very pleased with the service.

excellent service on time came to my work place, done a great job great price, will use again thanks.
Jag did a fine job. Coming to the house at a convenient time for us was great (he and his colleague worked in the dark!) and he was easy to communicate with throughout. Most importantly, the job was clearly done successfully. We've recommended him already.
After having 2 other mechanics not be able to fix my car, JAG got it done. With a new part my car is working fine 100% recommend and i'm deferentially using him again if i need any more work done.
Very helpful workers the part was fitted at 1st was the wrong one but they sorted it out as soon as the can and came back the next day to fit it would recommend this garage and IF ne more problems with my car they will be the 1st I will call
We had a slight confusion over the booking but to his credit, he got to me later in the day and did the work very quickly. Sadly it turns out there's another issue - so I'm hoping to get him back again! Which says it all really.
Amazing service, very competent mechanic (Michael), and a very helpful owner Adam. The work required for my car was quite technical but these guys went about it very nicely and got it done on time. I am going to be a regular customer now:)
Excellent service
Fixed my initial problem on car, they even collected it from my house as I was at work. Cost me around 30 pound, one problem was my car mats were covered in grime afterwards I don't mind the car exterior coming back dirty but the original mats are stained and I found a food box half eaten left in the rear passenger foot well. If you don't mind cleaning up food and grime stuck in your cream floor mats then this is the place to use.
Very good smart repair on bodywork of my car
Great service, booked through website first thing in the morning, car was booked in and fixed with two hours! Very friendly staff and very helpful, got me back on the road in no time. Thank you very much!
Excellent customer service. A good 'old school garage with wealths of experience. Kept in the loop the entire time and they took care of.my vehicle as if it was their own. No scratches anywhere. I've spent years looking for a reliable honest service from a mechanic and I've found it. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Very happy.
Very good service
Good job well done
Booked the job the day before for new brake pads. Replaced in approx half an hour with 12 month warranty. Great service and honest advice. Will definitely use again for future work.
Added some extras
Brilliant service picked my car up fromBbirmingham 8.30am kept for 2 days new clutch plus service great price. Did it 4 months ago waiting to see how it went no problem would recommend.
Had my clutch replaced on my Cleo here a few weeks back now and couldn't really fault their customer service. Original quote was £260 which I was very sceptical about, considering Halford wanted nearly £800 off me which was a definite no. In the end cost £400 because a couple of bits were worn out as well which considering you're getting a quote without anyone actually looking at the car it's expected to go up a bit.but in the end new clutch and a service and everything works perfectly 3 weeks on.drives like a brand new car and they managed to do it in a day even with me forgetting to give them the locking nuts so they couldn't start the work till 11 and I had the car back at 4.very happy with all the work and service done.would recommend completely!
Good service, very pleased
good service price was right I will be using them from now on
Very helpful, they listened and advised. I would recommend these 100% polite. I will be using them in future

Speedy repairs were fantastic from start to finish. Hassan worked around me, to get the repairs done in the timescale I needed. He explained everything he was doing and why, and kept within his original quote. The quality of work is great, and my car is now running perfectly. Hassan also took the time to explain lots of car maintenance tips for me, which was really helpful. I’ll definitely be using Speedy Repairs again in the future.
Friendly staff.help out with the price.not the usual garage that try to make money of you..I’m very glad I did take my car to them.only negative thing(if i can call it so) is that they took a while to get my car running
Very impressed with their performance. Job well done and in my case courtesy car was essential while they were fixing my car. Also i am very pleased that they didn't charge me for using their car. Definitely will use this garage again even though it's 25 miles from were i live. Only hope is that i won't be needing their services for a while. Can't afford to repair it again now. Job well done!!! Thank you!
Higly reccomend this garage. Did the car check,and let me know.And charge for job less. Very frendly customer service,no hidden prices.

A head gasket is effectively a seal which is essential for maintaining the temperature and integrity of a car engine. It's a part responsible for sealing pressure within the engine as well as the distribution of oil and coolant.
Every time you turn on your engine the head gasket has to operate within very high temperatures and pressures, which is exactly what it is designed to do. The engine of your car needs to be cooled constantly as it relies on combustion for power and the head gasket is the core component in performing this job.
If the head gasket is damaged, the engine will quickly overheat and serious damage will be caused. Overheating in the engine of your car will lead to a loss of compression, the mixing of oil, water, coolant as well as a reduction in lubrication.
The head gasket is a very complex piece of equipment and so a variety of materials are needed to build it. It has to be able to withstand and function normally at extreme temperatures and pressure, it also needs to be resistant to all of the chemicals and oils which rush around your car engine.
As a result, each gasket from one car to the next is different as the demands of each engine are unique. Car manufacturers like Ford, Vauxhall and BMW spend millions of pounds every year in the research and development of head gaskets to help manage the pressure and cooling of engines.
Unfortunately, if you need a head gasket repairing, it will be on the more expensive side. However, if you follow the advice below you can learn how to recognise problems with your gasket before something serious happens.
There are other signs to look out for but unless you are a trained mechanic it will be difficult to spot them which is why it is so important that you have your car checked if you suspect there is an issue.
As mentioned above, if a head gasket blows, it can be a costly repair for you as a huge increase in temperature throughout the engine could very easily cause a range of other issues.
If you need a head gasket repair or if you think you might have an issue with the unit, it is vital that you pay attention to the issue, if you ignore the signs above and the gasket blows while you are driving this could cause serious threat to your safety.
A blown head gasket repair can be quite costly for any driver, no matter what car you drive. There is no easy head gasket fix and so you will need to get an experienced mechanic to take a look. The scale does vary for a head gasket repair when looking at different card brands. For a Mercedes, pricing is over £700 on average whereas for a Fiat the price is around £355 on average.
