“Excellent service.Paul was really friendly and helpful. He carried out the required repairs efficiently and at a reasonable price compared to what I had been quoted elsewhere. He explained what he had done without getting too technical and took photos of the job to help me understand. It was only by chance that I found Marsh Auto Services but I will definitely use again.”

“Contacted Paul about having a timing belt fitted on a Volvo V40, he was able to get me a price the next day and had the car in within the week. Dropped the car off last night and it was ready today to be picked up today. He was by far the cheapest quote and very professional. He sent pictures over of the work he had done and the old and new parts that were being fitted. 10/10 service and will definitely be using again. Thanks a lot mate 👍”
