What people are saying about us...

  • Was advised of the issue and what was need to repair, once given the go ahead I was advised the car would be ready before close of play, once I arrived I was informed that the parts they were sent one of the brackets was wrong and needed to order a new one and the car wouldn’t be ready until the morning. Received a phone call the following morning and the car was ready. All the staff at Tunbridge wells are very friendly and explain it great detail. Have used them for other work in the past and will continue to use them for both my cars.

  • Efficient and friendly. No pressure to accept jobs that weren't needed for MOT. Just good advice given.

  • I asked the day before it my service could be finished earlier and they were happy to help and even did a puncture repair I asked for least minute without an issue. Second time I’ve been here and very satisfied both times
