SIMPLY SERVICED REVIEWS

Once again great service provided BY S/S had my cars M O T on the 20th AUG also asked if they would check the tracking as 2 weeks before while coming back from Thetford I was unfortunate enough too hit 2 large pot holes in quick succession which they did without extra charge. Luckily for me and my pocket there was no harm done, now that is a service that is in the minority thank you S/S.

Just had my car serviced and MOT. Perfect, quick, friendly staff and good pricing. Everything clear and up front with no hidden costs. Smoothly booked the appointment online. I would highly recommend this garage.

Team at simply serviced are consistently excellent - no nonsense, do what’s needed and always seem to take a customer’s view. Thank you!.

EAST HILL GARAGE REVIEWS

Took my car in today due to a problem with my exhaust after being recommended by a few people. East Hill Garage were amazing I couldn’t believe how quick they saw me and sorted my problem for a really reasonable price. It’s hard to find trustworthy mechanics but looks like I’ve found one!.

Dropped in to get my lights done so I could drive in Europe. Very helpful and best ever experience where they did the job, unlike other garages, was recommended to go to there, and I am recommending to go there as well. 10 out of 10.

Really friendly and great price too. I found them really accommodating and honestly say I'll be going back when I next need it.

Been using east hill quite a few years for my car getting it mot and serviced there great bunch of guys never had a problem trustworthy and reasonable priced great garage. - Nick E Reply

SHAIKLY MOTOR COMPANY REVIEWS

I was especially impressed by the professional yet warm personal service I received from the moment I made the appointment over the phone to when I picked up my car. In a time when genuine customer care is becoming increasingly rare, I truly appreciate your commitment to maintaining such high standards. Thank you, and I applaud you for continuing to offer this level of service.

We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Shaikly Motor Company. From the polite and friendly reception staff to the knowledgable mechanics themselves, their company is second to none. Their communication was exceptional. They patiently discussed each issue with us and really went above and beyond. We would highly recommend Shaikly Motor Company.

Absolutely brilliant service. So competitive on price with quality to match. Access to all Audi service notes just as if you were at main dealer. Will not bother with Audi now as Shaikly were fantastic. Dan was amazing and so helpful.
