Great service from the team @ Austrin Gearbox Specialists, Thanks to Steve and all the team 👍🏻 Craig
Although my car wasn’t financially worth fixing as I had only owned if 4 month this team was absolutely fantastic start to finish, communication was absolutely top tier and I really appreciate the honesty and advice. Thank you so much
Ultimatley my car couldnt be fixed....well it could but at a very high cost.
Luckily AGS didnt see an opportunity to rip me off, they were extremley sensitjve about the impact the loss of my car would have and gave me a vwry comprehensive breakdown as to the issues, the repairs needed and an genuinley honest opinion as to the reality of repairs or cutting my losses.
Regardless. 5 stars for the professionalism and the service.
Outstanding customer service by Steven and team. The automotive industry is generally known to try to make an extra income when there is no need too. Steven was honest, transparent, accommodating and willing to go the extra mile. Thank you.
