Fantastic friendly and down to earth service with a smile - again - from Motoron. I've left a review before but worth another - they sorted out my old Golf's window and brakes at short notice. Really great. 5 stars!

Very trustworthy garage. Repaired the broken exhaust bracket on my daughter's car in no time at all and at a very fair price. Very friendly and helpful staff, even threw in a free driving lesson too, to reacquaint me with driving a manual car!

Read a review about the parking on our street and the owners rude behaviour. 100% agree, him and his partner or the lady that are there are vile, I've seen him shouting at people. When they have no business the street is practically empty. I have a small child myself so understand how frustrating it is, even with busy body neighbours writing false reviews.

ABSOLUTE LEGENDS! So I took my Vauxhall Insignia in for a fuel filter change. I had previously took it to TWO different garages (one of which was in Chorley) and was told it was impossible to remove the filter without breaking the housing. took it to these guys at 0830 and by 1000 in was off, changed and back to me! Definitely found my garage for all future work and will be highly recommending them to everyone. Thanks guys. Top class service and great value!

Brilliant service from Ron and the team. We've taken our cars there for many years now and they always do an excellent job. We live across the road so it's very handy too. They've come to the rescue on a couple of occasions when my old car has conked out and taken care of it very quickly. I've read on here about them parking their cars all across the road where we live. I've lived here for 18 years and this has never been a problem for us as the only people who park cars on the road are from enterprise next door to motoron so that completely not true. Will continue to use them for many years to come.
