I took in my Dacia Duster as it was running erratically with engine warning sign and various faults displayed on my dash, expecting to have spark plugs and coils changed after a lengthy conversation with the gentleman at the front desk. I received a call back a couple of hours later to say that I can come collect my car and that they couldn't find any faults and cleared the error codes. The car was running just fine at no charge. They didn't even charge me for the diagnostics! You can't get more honest than that! Thank you guys!

My husband had used this garage to replace a prop shaft so I thought I would try them out with an MOT and service for my SLK. Really simple booking process online - the website is really easy to use. When I arrived at the garage for my allotted time they were really professional and very helpful. The quality of work and attention to detail is very good. All I needed was a light bulb replaced - which they did for a very small fee. Would highly recommend this garage.

I went into In’N’Out to book a MOT. They were able to carry out the work immediately, with no fuss. The work took about 40 minutes to complete and at a good price. They have an excellent customer lounge with a viewing window and a free tea and coffee machine. I would always use this centre in the future. Thank you.

Came here last year for service and MOT which went well, so thought I'd give them a try for new front break pads. They offered a reasonable price. I work near them so dropped car off at lunchtime, was booked in for 2.30pm but they called me at that time to say it was completed. They informed my about everything I needed to know about driving after having breaks changed. Very friendly and explain everything properly. Think I've just found my new garage. Happy with the service.

I went in for my cars mot and I was really nervous being my first mot on my car. Unfortunately it failed and they explained what was the issue so I was able to understand and they managed to get me booked in to fix my car and get my car passed its mot. They were friendly, professional and I will happily return here for any work that is needed.

I have been to "in and out" a few times, both for work and services and MOT and have never been disappointed with the quality of the work done, the length of time taken to do the work, or the price charged. This last time, the master cylinder on the clutch needed to be replaced and although I only phoned our local In and Out on the Tuesday, they fitted me in and the work was completed and I collected the car by lunchtime on Wednesday. It truly was In and Out.

I enquired first about services they offered. First impression, they were informative and very helpful. Booked the service. Even received a text to remind me car was booked for Friday. Car went in on time, and was called later, as agreed, that car was ready. Paid the price that I was told at time of booking, no hidden extras. On pick up, service explained, book stamped and detailed invoice. Really impressed, would definitely recommend them. Real value for money.

I visited IN'n'OUT for the first time and I was amazed by their reception and very friendly service. I missed my earlier appointment and immediately the garage called me and was able to fit me in later on that same day . I was so thankful to Alan. I got my car serviced on time and was told about any extra work that needed doing on my car. The guys there are excellent and very very efficient. My overall experience was great! and strongly recommend IN'n'OUT garage to others!

I took my daughters Fiesta in for a MOT and Service. About half an hr later I was told it failed as it needed adjustment of a headlight and the offside front shock absorber had gone. I was quoted for the shock absorber which came out to be about the normal price, so agreed to the work and was told their was a £10 charge to adjust the headlight. This did not go down well as a simple adjustment should not be charged, however I agreed. I left the car with them and about 2 hrs later I was phoned to say there was an issue as the bolt holding the shock absorber to the hub had been snapped off when trying to remove it, so I would need to pay for a new hub. I asked why plus gas was not used etc but was told it was not allowed as they're located next to a petrol station. I don't believe i should be charged for a hub when the damage was caused by the garage and if plus gas was used, it may not have even snapped. I was left stranded in Basildon with 2 children and had to make my way back by train. I collected the car 2 days later with a £285 bill. Not impressed.

I left my car there on the way to work and they kept me updated all through the process. My car is a little old banger and went in for a MOT and service. They emailed me to let me know what needed doing and I check a couple of quotes on line they were by far the cheapest. M little old lady runs lovely now. Will definitely use them again.
