Fantastic experience with KDM. Only recently moved to the area and Ill be using this garage for MOT/Servicing going forward. Theyve sorted out my breaks, EML and springs in two visits - both in quick timing with updates provided. Competitive prices and fab service. Natalie is so welcoming and kind and went the extra mile to explain exactly the work that needed to be done. Thanks again!

Had coolant leak due to components failing and desperately needed the car repaired. Christmas was a few days away and I had family to shuttle around. KDM went out of their way to get the parts and had my car fully ready Christmas eve. Great friendly customer service and thoroughly recommend.

I'd never used this garage before but they were recommended to me. I will be using them for my car and my husbands van from now on. Natalie on reception is very helpful and knowledgeable. Derek worked on my car finding the fault and fixing it. I had my car back working properly and in a quick turn around. They kept me updated and didn't charge the earth. Very happy first time customer. Thank you KDM
