Took my car here for service, MOT and request to fix minor oil leak on my golf mk6. Guys were nice, sorted my mot and service, cleaned down the engine and took back to locate oil leak a couple weeks later. Leaks located and fixed. Not always the easiest thing to get sorted, done and completed. Well done guys!

Great service, above and beyond
Staff at Ace Automotive stayed back later on Saturday to do my MoT. This was entire to my benefit, and they did not have to. I am very grateful, they did a very thorough job around my schedule.

Really good service
Booking was easy and a follow up call to confirm. Dropped off my Jag X-Type in the morning for a full service and MOT. Picked up in the afternoon. What more can I say. Really good garage, this might just be my new go to.
