Graydon Motors

Graydon Motors repaired a minor scrape to the near-​side rear quarter-​panel and bumper on my Skoda Octavia. It wasn’t properly explained to me that ‘flatting’ the paint was simply for adhesion, and didn’t mean I’d ultimately end up with a perfectly flat finishso the job came in below expectations with pock-​mark type holes in the paint that I was told was panel damage and not routinely smoothed. The job came in late and they would not accept payment by credit or debit card, instead forcing me to go and find cash very bizarre behaviour for a supposedly reputable businessI suspect a cash-​flow problem. Another customer being tended to whilst I was there also wasn’t happy. They are relatively cheap, but perhaps for a reason

Tucked away in the back streets of Lawrence Hill is the busy body workshop of Graydon Motors. Access is bit tight through a one way street and narrow turn into their busy car park and the streets here are very busy. Graydon’s take on a lot of insurance work and this was the reason that brought me and my car to their workshop after a small prang. I found the reception staff courteous and very capable, they arranged a courtesy car for me whilst mine was in the workshop. The mechanics themselves were helpful and did a fabulous job on fixing up my car, which came out looking brand new.
