Online booking/payment not great but local staff superb

Booking the car service online left much to be desired (I should have phoned the local dealer) - in particular that with just the choice of bronze/silver/gold with no indication of what was appropriate for the car age/service history and I was surprised that the full charge was made to my credit card just after booking (rather than after the work done). However, the local Dunmow staff were friendly, super-helpful (including printing out missing service history records from previous years) and very accommodating, especially when we had to delay the service at the last minute due to a flat battery.

Unjustified failure and expensive unnecessary repair

The car was failed on screen washers not working. They were found to be working after the test. It was also failed on an insecure headlight. I pointed out that it was secure when the bonnet was down. It should not have been failed when the vehicle is in its normal operating condition. I was then charged £95 labour to fix it. I found this unnecessary and excessive. I will be very reluctant to use Protyre again.

Can happily recommend this company as my experience recently with an MOT ended up a bit of a shock as my car failed.
The work was done efficiently and I was very glad that they re MOT'd and I know have a fully fit car.
Although an unexpected repair bill is never a good bit of news, the cost was fair and the work carried out quickly.

It was for an MOT so not much to review really. Apart from my interaction with the customer services. All ok at booking in. Said they would phone when ready. That never happened. Had my phone on me all day. No missed calls or voicemails. So left it over 4 hours after my appointment time, five hours after dropping the car off and went to collect. I was told they tried to call but didn't get through. If they did bother to try they didn't try very hard. I was then told I would have got an email... I wasn't expecting an email, I was expecting a call. As a woman it is not my first experience of being patronised by a man working in a garage.

Keen prices, mostly OK personal serrvice.

The online booking service is good and the practical service given in the work bays is also good in my exeprience. Pricing is competetive - staff attitudes in the shop vary from very friendly and helpful to unhelpful almost to the point of obstructional, depending on the individual you have to deal with on a particular day - which somewhat takes the shine off the experience.

Great service

Great service, all very good. The guys are quick, thorough and a good price too.
They are also very good at dealing with problem people, as I witnessed. They deserve a medal for dealing with some entitled people. They’re doing a fab job, keep it up, guys!
