I have been a client for nearly 5 years (and I have brought my Mini Countryman many times for punctures and services) and every time the staff at Wallis and Son garage (servicing) have been incredibly polite, helpful, and kind. I wouldn't go to any other garage to get my car fixed. They value their clients and are honest and realistic about any issues that arise. 100% recommend!

I made the difficult decision to confide my DB7 Vantage to this garage, based on their reviews and work done to refurbish a BMW X5 4.6is engine some years ago. I was glad I did. Good service and comms. The Vantage is running very sweetly. Pricing reasonable, not cheap, but I feel the team was committed to getting things right. That's the way things should be - cheap can be expensive. I fully endorse Wallis and Son Ltd.

Great Service. I called the garage last weekend to check if they had any fuel. The lady who answered the phone said yes & to come over. I had told her that I worked for the nhs and when I arrived they ensured I got fuel to get to work. I would like to make a special mention to Brian & Sharon who I felt went above & beyond. Elliott you have a great team whom you should be proud of Diane

As a family and company running in excess of ten Mercedes Benz vehicles (including AMG Models), and the local Main dealer unable to maintain them to a high enough standard. We have since been using the family owned and run business of Wallis and son Ltd, and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Sent our car for a service in 2020, felt it was expensive. Spoke to some locals, showed them the invoice and what was done. They confirmed how we felt. Approached Wallis & Son again for a quote, mentioned perhaps getting a better deal this time as we felt it was expensive. We wanted to continue using them as they are local and convenient. Terrible service, had to email 3 times, and call. They quoted 200 more than Mercedes Benz, and the person delivering the quote verbally over the phone - Ian, came across as very unfriendly and almost irritated. You've just lost another customer.
