Brilliant - just needed a quick oil check for my hard-worked and much-loved 2008 Outback before heading to Skye having toured Cairngorms. All spur of moment as I was passing - Airds could not have been more helpful with great technical advice about my boxer diesel.

My vehicle was taken to Aird Motors following a breakdown. The staff were kind and considerate and went way beyond my expectations in assisting me with getting the car back on the road. With this level of service I'll definitely be visiting them when it's time to replace my car.

Excellent, efficient personal service We visited on Monday without a booking as we were on holiday and needed to check the underside of our (non-Subaru) car as we had been forced off the road the day before and were returning home the next day (a 600 mile journey). The mechanic was very helpful and despite having a full diary, squeezed us in there and then, we spent an hour in Beauly and went back to be reassured the car was fine. We are happy to report that our journey home was uneventful, and free from worry thanks to the service department at Aird Motors! Thank you so much.

Just bought car, and as it's automatic which I havn't driven before was anxious about the prospect, but David suggested that Colin would take me out for a drive. It is amazing, don't know why I was worried I just love it. Thank you guys! Goodness can't believe our Subaru Forester XT is a year old, she was in for her 1st service today. David and his staff were on hand as always to look after you. This time last year I was worried about driving an automatic, its definitely the reverse, I think I would be worried driving a geared car now.

Another great experience with a very personal and professional service. David and his team addressed the problem with my Argocat, provided a place for me to work (as I waited) and afforded me to leave four hours later with my vehicle fixed, tested and serviced. Brilliant. Thanks to you and your team for a job well done.
