What our customers say
EXCELLENT Based on 57 reviews Posted on Google SarahTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt was super friendly on the phone when I was stuck and no idea what to do. Super quick getting to me and my poorly car and made everything simple and stress free. Friendly, honest and reliable service. Thank you so so much!Posted on Google Ben MansfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. MTS sorted us out with no £££ who does that? A major fault light came on on our car at 9.30pm Sunday night while driving home to Scotland. Called MTS, he couldn't do it so he sent me quotes from two other local firms, and offered alternative options too. Long story short we stayed in an epic budget Travelodge in Hexham nearby (took the risk to drive 3 mins there), got the car fixed Monday morning and drove home later that day after a great day out in Hexham! Thank you MTS I'm a lifelong fan :-)Posted on Google Kallum MakinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
