Got towed to this garage after our van went into limp mode, we’d already had works done with them previously and they’d shown us the part that had to be removed. Our van ended up coming up with lots of faults one after the other and needed a lot of care, Tim , Jamie & Helen were very patient with my multiple phone calls & tried their best to keep me in the loop- they gave me a car to get to and from the garage so that I wouldn’t be paying for taxis & let me visit a few times to collect more things from the van when it was staying for longer than expected. They got the short straw of a van that needed tlc, but went the extra mile in reassuring me & calming me down when I broke down & needed towing to them.
I’d go back again & recommend too. Thank you all

Everyone was very friendly and helpful especially when you've got a 7 meter long Merc van to drop off for an MOT.

Arrived with no appointment and a flat battery at the end of the day. Battery ordered and fitted within the hour. Thank you to everyone at Wheelbase

Disappointing experience, after high hopes. I was advised to change my brake pipes, by another garage who could not do the repair. Booked car in and was told parts in stock. No call from the garage, so went in. Told car on ramp and I have a fuel leak and unable to to take a seized nut off. This would potentially mean cutting the nut off, making a new pipe etc The brake pipes could also mean X,Y,Z could also need changing. I was told could be around the £1000 ? 5 days later asked to come in and get a courtsey car on friday. Collected car on Monday and they had to install a new battery £139+ vat, as mine would not charge? Bill came to £1600.
Nothing wrong with my battery before garage had the car ! I use the car every day and starts first time, every time. Fuel leak also is a mystery, as not noted by exhaust and tyre specialist previously. Very expensive repair and constantly "we are so busy".
