“I can't thank the staff enough for their help this morning. I turned up at 9am and asked them to help me with a problem with my car. Myself and my husband had been visiting Porthmadog on holiday and were due to leave that morning and the car needed a small fix before we travelled 124 miles home towing our caravan. The lovely lady in reception slotted me in straight away and they soon got us on the road again. Lovely friendly garage 😊”

  • “This is a great Family run garage. They are friendly, knowledgable, competent and reasonably priced. But the most important things for me as a woman driver are that I never feel patronised or judged here and I feel that they aren’t going to rip me off. I drive out of my way over from Dyffryn Nantlle to use this garage. I highly recommend them. Diolch yn fawr iawn CMC”

  • “Always excellent service. It’s such a pleasure to do business with CMC. An honest garage, they don’t try and do work that is not necessary. I always go back for servicing our two cars and our motorhome, and I have my motorcycles MoT’d there too. I can’t recommend them highly enough!!”

  • “Wonderful team. The lady I booked with was super helpful and has definitely restored my faith in garages. Will definitely be back again for my next service and MOT. 100% trustworthy and highly recommended. 👍”
