“I have always found this garage to be honest; f work does not need doing they will say so, and not do it and charge you. They are very good at explaining what they HAVE done and what the charges are, also they will tell you the cost before the work is done. I ALWAYS recommend them to my friends and colleagues.”

“Sometimes you can be worried about taking your car to a garage in case you get stung , but car friend is the total opposite as they make you feel welcome and talk you through the entire process of what work will be carried out and they keep in contact about the progress and due to the pre arranged price there is no scary surprise , and my bill was £140 less than agreed as they completed work faster than expected. 100% honest and trustworthy,”

They remind me when our cars are due for services or MOT.
Then from booking to dropping off, picking up and paying, they ensure we know exactly what's going on in English.

“Thank you Car Friend for the repair to my car.
You were able to diagnose and repair a problem with the ABS wheel sensor and wiring. You took the trouble to investigate the problem thoroughly to enable a good fix.
I received good feedback on the diagnostic report when I came to collect my car.
I would recommend Car Friend for service and repairs at a very fair cost.”

They've always offered me a drink if I'm waiting for my car. All the staff are approachable, and if I've had a problem with my car then it's always explained in layman's terms.
