RT MOTORS great service friendly staff and helpful. Was able to fit my camper van in for repairs at short notice thinking this was a clutch problem but ended up with a major engine failure.resulting in a engine rebuild which was completed very happy with work and reasonable price quoted which I was informed this wasn’t a cheap repair, but so far running in the vehicle then take it back for engine checks etc . Definitely will be taking my van back for service and mot next time. Instead of taking to the main dealer which I did first time big mistake. Thanks again to RT MOTORS.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beyond Exceptional A Truly Genuine Garage Experience! From start to finish, my experience with RT Motors was nothing short of outstanding. The moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warmth, kindness, and genuine care. It’s rare these days to find a garage that not only delivers great service but also makes you feel completely at ease and RT Motors did exactly that. They took the time to explain everything clearly, gave me honest advice about my situation, and never once tried to upsell or push anything unnecessary. You can tell straight away that this team genuinely cares about their customers and their reputation. When I left my car with them, one of the lovely staff members even offered me a lift to the train station such a small gesture to them, but it really meant a lot and speaks volumes about the type of people they are. It’s that extra level of thoughtfulness and care that sets RT Motors apart from the rest. The communication throughout was brilliant! I was kept fully informed at every step, and when I collected my car, everything had been done to the highest standard. They even took the time to give me some great aftercare advice, ensuring I knew how to look after things moving forward. Honestly, I couldn’t recommend RT Motors enough. You won’t find a more trustworthy, down-to-earth, and genuine garage anywhere. The service, care, and honesty they provide are second to none a true 10/10 experience and 10000% recommendation from me!
