We were visitors to Lavenham overnight, with an onward journey ahead. A tyre pressure warning light came on unexpectedly and the staff at Howletts fitted us in at short notice, fixing the problem within 20 minutes. They did what was needed and for a very reasonable price. An absolute gem of a find and can't recommend them enough! Services: Tires, Wheel alignment, Auto engine diagnostic

I can't thank you enough Debs and Simon for recommending Graham Richardson to repair the bodywork on my car. They did an excellent job so thank you both once again. Excellent service from Howlett's of Lavenham.
