June 2020

“My service experience was a good one and would not want to change anything”.

“Well managed given current conditions”.

“I used the online service to book my car in.  I had a query about early opening times and received a response the next day which was great.  Upon arrival once open I was seen to quickly.  I had mentioned that I felt my brake pads and discs may need changing.  As expected due to my first service last year, I was not ripped off as have previously been with using another car manufacturer and was informed that only my pads needed doing and the discs were fine.  Service was of good quality, fairly priced and will definitely continue to use Haynes and also recommend”.

“Have used Haynes for the past 3 years for servicing my car.  I find them very fair priced and communication before, whilst and after they have my car is very clear and on point.  12 months road side assistance with every service is also a nice touch.  Recently during the Covid-19 pandemic their service has been professional and slick that not to effect the experience of the customer”.

“Quick and easy to book by phone.  Because of lockdown it was a timed appointment so very quick to book car in.  Service carried out while I waited.  Friendly and knowledgeable staff”.

“Collection from our home was faultless as was its return, on time and with an excellent handover when returned.  I honestly don’t think there were any negative points”.

“Absolutely everything from booking the car in on the day to picking up again.  The video of the service was excellent too.  The second service I’ve had with yourselves since buying from you and I’d thoroughly recommend your garage.  The mechanics are extremely good and the whole experience extremely professional from start to finish.  Thank you to everyone”.
