“I was very pleased with the service and care I got from Gareth at this garage. He was very helpful.” J Taylor

“Staff are polite, helpful and have very reasonable prices. I have never had a problem and they also send a text to remind me that the car is due for a service/MOT and pick up and return my car promptly. The car is returned washed and vacuumed, so we have used them for a number of years and would not go anywhere else.”

“Staff prioritised my service to help with my work schedule. Fantastic service and attitude. Have used this garage for 3 years now with other cars and am completely satisfied.”

“My sister and dad have used this garage for years. They have always provided good customer service and good vehicle service.”

“Along with the service of my car, the car was also given an MOT.”

“I have been a customer of this garage for 30 years, each time I have had good service and customer care, plus feedback on my vehicle if any faults arise. First class service all round.”

“Over the years this garage has improved incredibly well. Excellent service and Mot at very short notice request. Very kind Lauren and the team of very helpful professional brothers and the rest of the team contributing the best one can expect whilst at these premises. I am a very happy customer who has decided to stick with this garage for the upcoming years. Wonderful Lauren contributes a very excellent reception face to face and telephone manners. Well done every one.”

“Unlike other garages that I have been to, Guide Bridge MOT and Service Centre was first rate - they kept me informed of everything that they were doing and how much it was going to cost me. Excellent. I will recommend it to everyone I will be using this garage again in the future. The staff are very female friendly.”

“I have to be taken out in my wheelchair wherever I go, so keeping my car on the road is vital! That is why I always take it to the Guide Bridge MOT centre. I couldn't trust any other garage. They even collect my car then return it.”

“I have used this garage for the last few years and have no intention of changing. The welcome and service from Derek and his staff is second to none.”
