Northgate Motor Works found a split CV boot at my MOT, sent me a photo and a price, and had it fixed by lunchtime. Cheaper than the dealer quoted for just the service. #NorthgateMotorWorks

Finally a local garage that's properly trained on hybrids. They explained the battery health report in plain English and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need.

Fixed price, done in a day and they ran me home and picked me up again. The car drives better than when we bought it.

They look after our 14 vans. Quick turnarounds, early-morning drop-offs and clear invoices. Downtime has dropped noticeably since we moved to them.

Another garage wanted to replace three sensors. These guys found a chewed wire, charged me for an hour's labour and the light hasn't come back.

Bumper scrape repaired and the colour match is perfect. Took two days, not the week I was expecting. Only four stars because the waiting room coffee is terrible.

Car was pulling to the left for months. New tyres and an alignment and it's like a different car. Showed me the before and after readings too.
Lightbulb moment?
