After a botched repair by another garage, Bank Top did a first class job at a reasonable price.

I used this garage on recommendation - about 3 years ago - and I wouldn't go anywhere else now. Their service is excellent, the staff are efficient, helpful and friendly - and as a female driver, it's hard to find a garage to trust. Bank Top staff explain what's wrong, and will show you faulty parts replaced. They're the best garage I've used in 24 years of driving; totally trustworthy.
