I had a problem with my exhaust system…

I had a problem with my exhaust system and it was hanging down in the middle of the vehicle, i booked it in the very next day, they put it on the ramp and found that it was just a few of the rubber mountings just needed replacing, and to my amazement they told me there was no charge, so I would highly recommend them to anyone, they are very polite and very honest with everything they do!!

I went to your cowley branch on Saturday afternoon. I had trouble with the tyre monitor system. Jude was really friendly and helpful. Jude fixed the problem within minutes. Even though he was due to go home. Jude stayed too the end.
