“Thought my old girl was beyond repair. Couple of weeks, and lots of work later, and I drove her out this morning. Thanks to all the team for looking after my E46. Fingers crossed I get a few more years out of her yet.”
“Always very helpful whether it's an outside wash or inside and outside.Friendly staff who go above and beyond to provide an efficient car cleaning service.Slightly pricier than some that are local, but well worth the extra.”

“Used today 08 11 23 I am pleased. Paid £45 for the platinum service. My car was a real mess inside and out. They did a good job. If they had dressed the tyres it would have lifted the finish. Normally I clean my car myself. I would use again.”

“This petrol station boasts a remarkably spacious forecourt. Even with two vehicles when parked properly for refuelling, there is still room for another vehicle to pass between them comfortably.
The forecourt consists of eight pump bays in total. Six are designated for regular vehicles, equipped with fuel pumps, while two bays cater specifically to HGVs, each featuring two fuel pumps and two AdBlue dispensers.
A recent addition is the striking ‘Shell Recharge’ EV charging station, which is an aesthetically pleasing feature. This dedicated section has six parking bays, with three charging points, and each point fitted with three cables for versatile use.
Opposite the main forecourt is a designated area for two new ‘vacuum, air, and fragrance’ machines. This space can easily accommodate five vehicles if parked correctly. The machines are well-spaced, ensuring there’s enough room for customers to park, walk around their vehicles, and use the facilities without feeling cramped. However, sometimes the vacuums are clogged due to inconsiderate customers leaving the vacuum nozzles in the dirt and bushes whilst still running.
The staff here are exceptionally polite and friendly, always willing to go above and beyond to assist customers. I’ve personally witnessed the store manager printing traditional navigation routes for those unfamiliar with modern satnav systems and helping individuals who struggled to inflate their tyres. What more could one ask for?
The store maintains a reasonably well-kept Water Closet, featuring a toilet, wash basin, hand wash, and air dryer. Admittedly, it can be difficult to keep in pristine condition due to some inconsiderate customers who fail to clean up after themselves.
Additionally, the store offers hot food and baked goods, both of which are surprisingly tasty. It has two Costa coffee dispensing machines as well. However, despite being open 24/7, unfortunately our access to the store and its amenities are limited to 05:00-23:00 due to safety reasons as I understand.
Nevertheless, the fuel payments and the purchasing of essentials can be made through the night window. However unfortunately, the luxuries of Costa coffee are limited during the night, as I understand the machines need to be deep cleaned every night.
In summary, this is an excellent petrol station with much to commend it.”
“Wonderful self hand-gun car wash!Its just from £2 per few minutes, very powerful and handy pressure washer.Please keep it mind you should wipe out your car by yourself immediately after, othewise the white watermark remain easily due to the ‘hard‘ water in this region, I suppose.”
“Shhhhh.... Don't tell anyone about the pork butcher at the back of the store at this garage. My pit stop for the best sausages and bacon..... As well as fuel.”
