The booking process was straightforward. The technician that came out to us was polite, very professional, efficient and knowledgeable. He was very thorough and left the area clean and tidy.

Great job no complaints
I went in on a Saturday afternoon and found the staff really helpful and when they called me to collect the van they were cleaning up and all looked great.

Windscreen replacement went well…however was kept waiting 2 hours from my appointed time before car worked on.
Windscreen replacement went well however arrived at time suggested and had 2 cars in front of me which took 2 hours waiting.
Would be much better if texted to give a revised and accurate time for work to be done. There’s not a lot to do round an industrial estate on a wet cold day 😌

Service was brilliant, product / fitting not so much
Booking process and information provided was fantastic and were extremely accommodating. This area of it would have 5 stars. They went out of their way to help me.
The lower rating is due to the automatic windscreen wipers now no longer working. The glass also seemed to have a film / grease on it which continues to be incredibly difficult to clean off.
Edit - it has also now got a chip in it.
