Two words which occur over and again in these reviews are Friendly and Professional, and I would completely agree with this description. I would also add efficient and reasonably priced. They diagnosed the problem with my aircon, and fixed it a few days later for the quoted price. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company (hard though it can be to find...). Thanks guys.

I went in last summer to have my aircon fixed, which the gentlemen did to a high quality and for a great price. This summer my aircon had stopped working again so I went into see if they could find the problem. Which they did and fixed as part of the service from last year. To top it off, they even fixed a few other minor issues in the car for free. Fantastic company and customer service. Lovely gentlemen too, and the receptionist was always really helpful. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you.
