Got my front and rear brake pads and discs changed with Fixter over the Summer and it was such a great and easy experience. Their Fixter Hero Emmanuel called me in the morning to say he had arrived, took a few pictures to check car, I was called during the day to confirm work was done and my car was...
Had a service done on my car, the car was picked up at 10:00am and returned at 14:30 serviced and cleaned on the outside. Very impressed with the service from Fixter.
Picked up and dropped off ... Great service would recommend to anyone. My MOT failed but called immediately with why and fixed it same day to ensure it passed.
Excellent service from pick up to on-going communication and drop off. Reasonable prices and no hassle
very efficient and courteous. Good value for money
Extremely handy and great service
