However, we just nipped here quickly this morning to what looked like an open unit. We met an elderly gentlemen sat on his phone and we asked if they could check what we thought was a dodgy tyre before we set off on a long journey to London now to which were rushing for. My husband was told very very aggressively by a young ginger bearded looking gentleman "are you gonna pay me my wages before we open bro yeah, yeah yeah" extremely aggressive. If customer service is something you pride yourselves on as a business then I suggest you have a discussion with these members of staff. We won't be using this business again. So not appear open when closed. It would have took any two of the staff 5 minutes to check which we would be happy to pay for. Instead we've left unsure of our tyres safety with our money in our pockets and a very sour taste in our mouth. Poor poor service and extremely aggressive staff. Avoid avoid avoid

We randomly took our car here after getting lost on our way to a Quick Fit. We were bored of…read moregetting lost, just needed a new spare tyre, and just decided to go to the next place we saw. ARC 1 Tec is tucked down a little side road in the centre of Withington, just behind the well-known Fuel Café. It's a homely business crammed into a tiny premises. However, it means you get attention and friendly service from the charming and slightly oddball garage owner. When got a new tyre and a check on the alignment of the car (we'd had a flat) for just £44, which is really fair deal. It was done with a minimum of fuss and only took about 30 minutes, including the garage getting a new tyre delivered from another local company. Because they were so kind, friendly and hassle-free, we took the car back a few weeks later to get a service, and will probably be returning again when it's MOT time.

Having said that the job they did was good and they did give me a discount because of all the trouble but it didnt cover the expense of the hire car i had to take. i like the fact that they have complete prices and you can book online and get a price online. They do MOT'S and you get discounts if you are in the AA and clubcard points. Overall a good honest garage, where as a lone women I fell able to take my car.

I had high hopes for this garage after deciding to move from my long-term garage to support a…read morelocal, independent business. The initial booking process was professional, and I particularly appreciated the honesty when they called me well in advance to correct a mistake on their initial quote. Unfortunately, this positive start did not last. The main issues began on the day of the MOT and service. A misunderstanding over the 8 am appointment time, which was not clarified in the text reminder I received, meant I arrived later than expected. I am happy to own my part in that delay; however, the reaction I received from one of the mechanics was completely unprofessional. Rather than explaining the situation, he was visibly angry, repeatedly checked his watch, and spoke to me in a condescending tone that made me feel incredibly unwelcome. This is not how any customer should be treated. The most significant failure, however, was the complete breakdown in communication later in the day. After approving necessary repairs, I was left waiting for an update. I received no calls at all towards the end of the day. It was only at 5:30 pm, after the reception and workshop staff had apparently gone home, that another employee fortunately thought to check and call me to say my car was still on the ramp and would not be ready. To be left without my car overnight, with no warning whatsoever from the team responsible, is simply unacceptable. The car was ready the next morning, and the final repair work seems fine. However, even the complimentary car wash was symbolic of the lack of care shown--it was a poor effort that failed to remove simple surface dirt. While the reception staff were friendly and the work was eventually completed, the stressful encounter with the mechanic and the shocking lack of end-of-day communication mean I cannot recommend this garage. A business is only as strong as its weakest link, and unfortunately, the disorganisation and unprofessional attitude here overshadowed any positives.

John is a friendly guy and when I was having problems with the electrics on my car on Saturday, I called up and he was more than happy if I ran it down for him to give it a good looking over. Turned out it was a blown fuse that was easily replaced within 10 minutes and with me fully expecting to pay to have it fixed he gave it to me for free and said no probs. This is the sort of great local business still out there and I'll definitely still keep going here for the great service and great MOT's.
