Four years ago my reliable 2013 Subaru Forester refused to start on my drive after its flat battery was replaced. I contacted my garage and several auto-electricians but none could provide a remedy. Eventually the car was transported to Central Garage, Carcroft who sorted the problem within its immobiliser circuit and returned the car to me in good working order.

Positive: Quality
After diagnostic test results identified costly faults, consultation with the Manager identified that repairs would be uneconomical considering the vehicle value - instead of paying for repairs we invested in a newer car. Having been given clear information we could make informed choices - thank you all & well done.
Service: Check engine light diagnostic

Most helpful and kind guys around. My car fell apart midway through a long journey right as they were about to close, they gave me directions over the phone and sorted my exhaust (which was hanging off) the second I got there! And never have to worry about overcharging here, since they decided not to charge me anything and sent me safely on my way. Can't recommend this place enough.

Enquired about getting a key cut for my van, I had my key but needed new casing. was told he carnt do 1, it has to be 2 keys( due to coding).Red flags in my head at this point as I'm not daft.
He said it would cost £470 🤔🤔 John literally tried ripping me off. I called another guy who came and did it at my house for less than £50 and took all of 30minutes. Be aware if wanting any work done.
