Excellent garage - we were visiting the area with our newborn baby and a spring broke on our car, leaving us stranded and far from home. Central garage was recommended to us by a local family and did not disappoint. Wayne ordered parts as soon as I phoned and fixed it the next day. He worked into the evening to get it fixed for us, dropped the car back to us and all for a very reasonable price. This is how excellently we all wish car garages would operate, but they rarely do. Would highly recommend.
What a great experience. I used it on recommendation and was not disappointed. After getting a sudden issue with my brakes, I rang and was able to get the car in straight away to be looked at. Dave was so helpful and rang me to explain the problem and talk me through what work would be required. He did the work in really good time. Where some garages may have added extra unnecessary work when doing brakes, he was very decent and honest and only did what was required, costing less than what I was expecting. I was due to drive 500 miles the next day, so he really did get us out of a massive hole for our family holiday.
My car started displaying a tyre pressure drop on one of my tyres. I just happened to drive past this garage and they very kindly came out and checked my tyre and pumped it up for me at no charge. Lovely couple of guys, nice and polite.
We were on our way to the cairngorms, and we were running low on fuel, so we asked the sat nav where the nearest petrol station was. This was the nearest one, and on our route, and it said "open until 2pm Sunday" on the Google business listing. The other nearest one would have added 34 minutes to our route. The time was roughly 12:45pm so we thought "great, plenty of time". We arrived there and it was shut. At this point the fuel was well in the red, and The other petrol station was around 15 miles away. Ended up running out of fuel about half a mile from the other petrol station and had to walk in the hail. Little tip: if you have a Google business listing and you're providing a vital service, and you're the only business of that type in the immediate area, either update your listing to say when you ACTUALLY are open, or maybe, here's a crazy idea, stay open so that you can make some more money! You've got the monopoly on that route. Ridiculous.
As always the garage fits in jobs as to urgency. I can't recommend them highly enough. They are my go to for any work required on my two vehicles.
A little jewel! I know, you are think....looks like a gas station only but it also has a full service garage and store with essentials (hint:good place to get a proper paper map!). Staff was so friendly & helpful. The lovely woman attendant gave us insightful local tips (on holiday and it was nice to connect with the town and her residents). Take the less trodden path, relax on the drive and take it in. Central Garage will be there to help (they were for us).
Dave and John at the Central Garage are exceptional mechanics very honest and pleasant. Job carried by the garage is to the highest standard and as quickly as they can. They are busy so you must book in advance but it is worth it.
This garage was recommended to me. Sure glad that it was. Very happy with the service and friendliness. Great mechanic and a lovely run family garage and store, Highly recommend also!
