What our customers say

" Cannot rate this garage highly enough! They have now helped me 3 times this year due to my rather problematic Seat Ibiza. Each time they have exceeded expectations on customer service, being really quick to diagnose and deal with the problems. They also made my life a lot easier by liaising with the warranty company for me. I doubt I will use another garage in the area and would recommend wholeheartedly to a friend. "

" Rang vasstech Northallerton due to smoke coming from my bonnet of the car, they told me to take it down and they would have a look. A couple of hours later I got a call back and the problem was explained to me. I wasn’t charged for them having a look and they squeezed a little stressed me in! Couldn’t praise them enough, will be swapping from VW to vasstech from now on! "

Thank you for such a brilliant service. My little old banger needed some work, plus there was uncertainty over something that could go wrong in the future. Your professional, courteous advice helped us reach a decision about whether to go ahead with the repairs. Even though this assessment must have taken a significant amount of time, there was no charge. Thanks again for such a positive experience, which isn't something you can say often these days. 😀
