Great customer service

We travelled up from Brighton to look at a Suzuki jimny advertised at Horsepower.
From the start our sales person was great, dealt with all our questions and queries.
We decided to have it under sealed to prolong the life expectancy and we were kept informed as to progress with regular updates.
Great service, great company, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Great team and dedicated technicians

Duncan and the Horsepower team went out of their way to sort the problems on my car, all created by another garage doing questionable work. Highest of praise for the technicians who went above and beyond to find the problems - of which there were many!

Highly recommended.

Horsepower is the one for me

I have been going to Horsepower dating 2011 and I have continued to deal with them all these years because of my trust of them that is why I have given them this score thank you very much
My trust for them
PS on reflection I think I have been going to Horsepower before 2011
About 2006 when i drove a SLK Sharen a friend at work had recommended Horsepower to me then and they had started to look after my car so it is almost 20 years now thank you
