Testimonials

  • Gareth - Mercedes CLS 350

    Thought I would report back on NJS solutions and the work they did on my ML. Battery changed and new brake pads all round. Done quickly and very professionally. Thought the bill was reasonable and will definitely use them again. Seems like a family run business and is immaculate.
