I visited Plymouth Radiators this morning, to buy a registration plate for my grandson's first 'big-boy' pushbike. I found them to be very professional and polite. The service was excellent - they produced the goods in a very quick time frame, whilst I waited. I now have a very high quality numberplate that will make a little boy very happy! The price was very reasonable, too. I will definitely be returning if I need their services for my car.

Failed AC to Mini... I was recommended to try Plymouth Radiators to resolve my air con failure when my garage identified a leak ie no gas in system at all, which they were unable to fix, it needed specialists. Professional but friendly service, fair price, will probably use again when AC is due to be checked in 2 years. Thank you Plymouth Radiators
