Highlights
"I was in need of help. James stopped what he was doing to assist me. My front tyre had split on side . He doesn’t do tyres but rang round. He offered to take my wheel into Bury. (Which I did in my wife’s car) But he collected, and refitted the wheel . I can’t recommend him enough. So nice to meet someone willing to help when you need it . It wasn’t his problem but he sorted it out. Thanks again for your help."
"From first contact to work completion, six hours. Excellent service."
"We have used this garage's services on several occasions since moving here 3 years ago. Cannot rate them highly enough in every respect. Well done and thank you so much for your helpful, reliable, punctual, friendly and affordable service. 5 stars!!"

Smart checks
Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
Run the Cowboy Checker on Cracknell's, Station Garage before you contact them.
