“Matt is a wonder! When my car broke down, Quinn's Autos was recommended by several people from different garages that I rang. This also included the tow truck operator who took me to his workshop..(5.30pm Friday night and Matt was still open and happy to help.) These people all said that he was THE BEST at replacing transmissions. Thankyou Matt, for your open and honest communication, and keeping me up to date. There were issues with the second hand transmission but once again, nothing was too much trouble and it was sorted quickly and efficiently. If I could give 10 stars I would. Great service, great attitude and great work. Many thanks!!”
