Used for Bike MOT and Car servicing, haven't had any issues and I have scrutinised them.

Girlfriend however has been and said she has had unprofessional service...

Not sure what to say.. I would certainly use again.

use of garages…what a fine subject for starting a fight :fight

Normally a “love them to bits” or “never use them” is the answer from most.

In my opinion often the vehicle owner is partly responsible for what the "love them or hate them" feeling.

It is also worth remembering that often a the feelings/opinions posted up by people (positive or negative) may refer to work done by people that might not be currently working for the garage in question.

Maybe they've had friends and family do the reviews for them.

that will account for the 1 star reviews :log :log

So who added the 5star reviews :confused :biggrin2


I am only kidding, I have had no dealings with Colin's Tyres other than getting a tyre fitted to me lads moped a year ago.

Had plenty car dealings with Colins over the years but as yet no Bike related stuff.

No issues to report apart from not setting the ABS sensor correctly after discs and pads being changed, had to go back a couple of times.

Prices not the cheapest, not the dearest.

Just got ZZR back from Colin's after a Groupon MOT and service, it needed some work done which I expected after sitting for a year and all seems well with what they done. Price was reasonable and the guy doing the MOT was very fair. :2up :2up

I have been using Colins for MOT's for a few years as it is close to home, no problems at all with the guy that does them, thorough and fair, and you can often get in at short notice if your memory is as shizzle as mine :oops
