Abas and the guys at Goodway do great work. They are not afraid to be honest with you and thorough about what needs to be done, and at the same time very competitive on price. They are my 'go-to' now :>)

This place is the best! I had a flat tire and they took care of me right away. The car service here has been so great, especially compared to other places in town that just talk about being able to fix your problem but don't really do anything for you afterward.

I had a great first-time experience at Goodway today. The place I had booked to replace my tyres cancelled and I needed someone who could help me today. Goodway gave me a quote via Facebook Messenger and got the job finished by early afternoon. I was happy with the price and they fixed another minor issue for free. They said 4-tyre replacement and wheel alignment would take 90 minutes and it was exactly that. The guys were polite, friendly and very helpful. I would use them again, despite living on the other side of town.

I have taken my car to the mechanic before, but this time was different. The noises it would make were unbearable and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it myself! They diagnosed me quickly so that problem could be fixed right away at an affordable price
