As a female who knows not a lot about what goes on under the bonnet, going to a garage can be daunting, but this family run garage takes all that worry away. I have been coming here for 4 years now and recommend to friends who are just as happy.

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.

Orchard Garage are 'old school' in their approach. They are polite, friendly, extremely helpful and cannot do enough for you. They always book the car in when it suits you, which is almost unheard of in big dealerships, and you always get offered a cup of tea! They demonstrate how excellent customer service should be. Well done Orchard Garage!

Great family run business, only recently found them via my daughter and wouldn't go any where else now. A genuine garage with fair prices, for both vehicle repairs and used vehicle sales is hard to find.

Broke down and had to be relayed to garage. Garage received my car at 4.00pm on Thursday and by 10.30am on Monday they had completed the repair which was to replace the clutch. Excellent service from initial phone call to completion. The work was completed to the initial budget and in record time. All staff were very helpful and courteous and kept me informed of progress.

Orchard garages really came to the rescue today when I was let down 5 minutes before my MOT was booked with another garage. I went to the park road branch to see if they had any availability and after ringing through to the Heath lane branch they said they would fit me in straight away over there. I drove round (only 5 minutes away, if that) and was on the ramp within 2 minutes of arriving. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, couldn’t do enough for you. Will be using them in future for any mechanic related needs.
