Garage serving Leicester, 11 years of experience

i started my career Ford Dagenham london 1993-1998 worked at my local garage in South Manchester called Hulme Car Repair for a short time before taking up a post with Star Auto Glass in Manchester from 1998...

“Excellent experience from a company and mechanic I knew nothing about. I looked on line to see how much the part would cost and the advert popped up. I decided to try the booking system and was pleasantly surprised that the site quoted for the specific job that I wanted done. A little shakey getting the appointment over Fri, Sat, Sun but they emailed me back and kept me informed about what they were trying to do. Eventually got someone to take the job and the contact was perfect. Mechanic texted straight away to make mutual arrangements where to do the job. Came to place of work to do the job in the car park. Came early and contacted me straight away. Came down to open up for him and left him to do the job. Called me to come down when he had finished and gave good explanation of what was wrong and what he had done. Gave the ok for the payment to go through and received instant email confirming this. Service 95% (nobody's perfect) Mechanic 100% Communication 100% Time keeping 100% Efficiency 100% Would I use again? 100% Would I recommend? 100% especially to women who usually are at risk of getting ripped off. Price was good and I guess would have cost much more at garage had I chosen to go there. All in all - a brilliant experience. Many thanks. Now saving up for a full service. ”
