Me and my partner was recommended by this guy and wow the service and the work done I can't recommend this guy enough. We are due to go away and this guy managed to get the parts for our car in a short amount of time. I know this can't always be the case, we was just lucky in timing but definitely get your car in for a service and any bits that need doing this guy is your man. 10/10

I highly recommend No.1 Collective. After we bought our car, they quickly identified and fixed an issue for us, which gave us real peace of mind. They also carried out a full service and sorted a few additional problems we weren't even aware of. What really stood out was how helpful and accommodating they were, and they managed to squeeze us in at short notice as we were about to go away, which we really appreciated.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Simon. He fit me into his busy schedule no questions asked. His pricing is fair and the turnaround was faster than expected.

While in Motoworld on Saturday another customer overheard my discussion with the lad behind the counter and my plight. Turned out the customer was No.1 Collective. Helped me identify the issue and offered to help me out the next day...Sunday! He went above and beyond to help. I will definitely be using No.1 Collective again, thank you so much.

My car wouldn't start so I messaged Simon - he called round my house quickly to look at it then fitted a new battery the next day! Great service and he was very friendly and helpful - would definitely recommend ☺️

Amazing service! My vehicle broke down at the weekend and I had to abandon it. Contacted these guys who attended it within 24 hours, fixed it and delivered it back home to me. Kept me updated on costs and were just really nice and helpful throughout.

Great service with customer in mind at all times. Called at home address to give the Camper a brake system health check. Needed to be taken to his workshop. Very competitive pricing with an eye on what's best for the customer in needing to replace or repair. Also went out of his way to collect me in Laxey and take me to the vehicle on completion of works. Saved me hundreds. 5*

We were very pleased with our experience at No.1 Collective. We came across their page on FB and decided to come down and check the car. The car is very well priced and it's what we wanted. Simon gave us a hassle-free experience. I highly recommend it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely amazing service from Simon and his team. Simon went above and beyond to help us out with getting the wife's Q7 back on the road. Thank you Simon, you have been very conscientious and kept us up-to-date and fully explained what was wrong and what needed doing and delivered the car back to us. We totally appreciate your hard work and effort even working over the weekend to get us sorted. Highly recommend, also extremely reasonable prices...nice one Simon.

Great guys. Turned up when they said they would, collected my car from home and provided a courtesy vehicle until mine could go in to be fixed and I'd have been lost without it. Really reasonably priced especially for what needed doing and my little car has a new lease of life.

Cannot fault Simon for his work ethic, he's spot on with his communication, attention to detail and pricing. Totally professional in all aspects, feel very assured knowing he's doing a top job for a decent price. Very knowledgeable guy who I will be recommending and using myself from now on. Nice one Simon.

What fantastic service. Had some work done on my wife's car last week, came out on a Sunday to have a look at it, picked the car up on the Monday and dropped it back when the work was done. Nothing is out the way for this garage. Keeps you updated on what's going on so you're not in the dark. Fantastic service, thank you. Top job, keep it up. 5 star service.
