Called in as a distressed driver with a sick van and a long way to go, they very kindly attended to the turbo repair immediately and got me on my way within an hour. Excellent service and can't thank them enough. Van running better than ever too!

Great help from Lee in parts department, he has always been helpful and sociable, some 75 part's are getting increasingly difficult to find. Through their parts department I have been able to keep my 75 in fine condition for all my day to day and holiday uses, many thank's.

One of the last Rover dealers having to take on modern car makes to survive. Like any car dealer the buyer rarely comes out on top as was the case for me. However, the chosen car was handed over in great condition and the service care excellent.
