This would be a 5* review, they gave a time appreciation and under promised and over delivered, a rare quality in modern times.
This could potentially be a 1* review as the symptom still persist, which tells me fault has not been corrected. I'm not totally clueless as to how cars work, I appreciate that the fault could be something different, hence the middle of the road review. I will be emailing Central Garage as I'm certain they will amend any other mechanical issues. I hope it is something different, which will cost me more, but then you can't put a price on a trusty mechanic. As opposed to the original problem having not being resolved first time around.
UPDATE:
So upon my return from working away and getting the car back on the road, the car was out in for an MOT and the staff at the garage remembered the car and the details from roughly 3 months ago. I explained that the car had indeed still got a problem with a blowing exhaust, it then did fail its MOT on emissions. However, the gasket they had repaired was not the failing part but a small hole in a weld further along the exhaust, to which the welded up free of charge and put the car back through its MOT, free of charge. This is exactly the kind of service I expect from a top notch garage. As above, I said that I hoped it was a different problem as doubting this garages work is a no-no. Not only did they rectify the problem, they provided a solution if it does develop into something more serious. If it does develop into an O2 sensor issue, you can be certain I will be returning to this garage. They know my car, they do good work and have always managed to make time due to the nature of my work meaning it can be a little last minute.
I don't give out 5 stars easily but in this case, it reflects the garage in their work and their interaction reference explaining what has been done etc.
I'd like to wish the lads at central garage a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year, hopefully, I won't be seeing them too soon! (I like my car when it works properly.)
P.S. Central Garage do not have access to respond to reviews etc on google, the explained that this was why they couldn't respond to my review and organise a follow-up when it became apparent the work hadn't resolved the issue. They are able to respond on Facebook etc.
I needed my cambelt and waterpump replacing (long overdue), and was quoted a fair price for the work.
Dropped the car off just after 0830, and picked up at 1600 (my choice as I work from home and had a gap in my diary), although the car was ready earlier.
Nice and polite chaps in the garage to speak to.
I've now booked in for the MOT and service, so Central Garage now has a new long term customer.
Thankyou!
