Report
I have now been a customer at Claytons for over 12 years. People and companies give a service that is standard within there industry, but Claytons go the extra mile to get the job done, on the few rare occassions i have broken down the team have responded immediately which i value greatly. The staff are friendly and helpful no matter who you speak to, on the telephone or in person. Whatever work i have requested it is always completed in a very professional manner be it routine servicing, adjustments, replacements or running concerns. I look forward to dealing with yourselves for the next 12 years!

I am a fleet manager for a large company and we operate a fleet of cars and vans. Claytons have been servicing and maintaining our vehicles based in Yorkshire for some 5 years. We have found them to be a very reputable company with no task too small, they a are very professional operation and being a family run business they are very customer orientated. I would personally recommend them to anyone.

Claytons is the best Garage I have ever dealt with, the staff are thoughtful, efficient and very lady friendly. When I bring my car in it is like visiting friends. The Mechanics are excellent, even small problems are never too much trouble and the charges are very fair. I would like to thank Tracy and all the staff for going the extra mile which is rare in this day and age.
