This customer's car is 13 years old with over 115,000 miles and failed it's MOT on 7 things and was advised on 8 more. The brake pipe burst whilst on the brake testing part of the MOT test, above the fuel tank, where it couldn't be easily seen. Unfortunately, not everyone can see that that may have saved their life. We’re a family run independent garage and always quote a price before carrying out repairs, never forcing a customer to have the work done; on this occasion, we have simply failed the MOT to avoid a dangerous car being on the road. After getting very abusive towards us, we asked this customer to leave without paying for his MOT. He did, saying he would teach us a lesson. This customer has posted many similar reviews, some personally abusive to our staff. All we would ask is that you take time to read our other reviews and perhaps come in and meet us and make your own minds up about the sort of garage we are.

Have used this garage for years and years and they never let you down - even when I turned up last week with my whole bumper hanging off, they fitted me in straight away.

Car had gone into limp mode. Car restarted OK. Phoned orchard. They said bring it in. (13/12/2016). They traced fault to throttle pedal. Gave a quote for the work, which we agreed. They said work would be completed by 14/12 am - which it was. They were polite & kept me informed. I was very grateful for their speedy & professional approach.

We're sorry you feel this way. The service was over a year ago and we were in contact with you; we ordered a washer cap for you that came in wrong and we've since contacted you to say the right one is here and still is. If you would like to pop in, we can fit it at your convenience.
