From the moment I called to make the appointment for my first service, to when I collected the car, they were professional and friendly from start to finish. They asked if I wanted my car cleaned and I accepted thinking this would be an additional cost, but no. The clean was included in the price. I will use Barrett Lee again, and would recommend anyone thinking of going anywhere else, including Servicing Stop. Think twice look after your local businesses.
