What our customers say

Verified reviews from the Good Garage Scheme.

  • Honest, knowledgeable and a fair price. Took my van in last minute for an MOT and they sorted it the same day. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

    Lorna M., Edinburgh

  • Family have used Ace for years. Always tell you what needs doing and what can wait. No pressure, no surprises on the bill.

    Jamie R., Sighthill

  • Got a quote elsewhere for £600 of 'urgent' repairs. Took it to Ace for a second opinion — turned out it just needed a new bulb. Saved me a fortune.
