“A real garage”

Because of their obvious knowledge, professionalism and thorough approach, the staff of The Pit Stop don't just carry out work on a car, but rather they look after it - and, by extension, you. The best way I can convey this difference compared with other establishments is to say that this is a real garage!

“Great service. Highly recommend”

Was seen very quickly with excellent communication and knowledge throughout. Work carried out very quickly and took a lot of time to explain everything they were doing and why. Will definitely use again.

“Very highly recomended”

With his breadth of knowledge and experience, Graham correctly identified the solution to the issues and he and his team did a most professional job rectifying them. I would unhesitatingly recommend The Pit Stop for the quality of service.

“Excellence Service”

Asked for Service & MOT. They picked up the car and returned it. Fixed a couple of issues on the car. Did not take the easy route of replacing but actually repaired them. Price was reasonable for all the work.
