What drivers say
4.7from 85 reviews on Google
“I always get expert and professional service and advice from Bernie and his team. Costs are good also and follow up customer service is brilliant. Thank you. Glad I found you, as trustworthy service is hard to come by these days.”
“Fantastic customer service. On holiday in north wales and coil spring snapped. Rang them at Tan Lan and despite being really busy they gave me an appointment next morning after ringing after 5pm the previous evening so I could get repair done and complete my holiday. Really pleasant and helpful couldn’t be more helpful if they tried.”
“What can I say. A gem of a place. We were on holiday from Scotland and heard a loud bang coming from the front of our car. The owners of the house we were staying in recommended MGs. In two days we were up and running with a modest bill to pay. Would highly recommended.”
“I posted on social media about recommendations for a garage to help with an engine light on our motorhome whilst on holiday in the area. MGS was suggested by quite a few and Bernie (owner)also messaged to say he was happy to take a look. What a really fantastic and helpful garage it is! We arrived without notice and were dealt with without delay thanks to Sarah in the office. Bernie carried out a full diagnostic scan ,checks and test drove to make sure all was ok for our journey home. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this garage 10/10”
