Thanks very much to Craig and the team for getting my car back to its best again.
With the warranty and three years free servicing which was included when I bought the car now finished, it was time to take the car to Craig’s where I trust him to give me a first class service and to answer any of my questions with the honesty which makes it a pleasure when getting any extra work done.
It was the big service this time for the Exige which included the replacement of the spark plugs. I also got the geometry altered and the car feels so much better. I had a few laugh out loud moments coming home via the Glenshee road feeling how much more extra grip there is now while cornering. Craig also addressed a few problems which should have been completed properly previously (nothing to do with Craig and his team for clarification) and I was shocked at some of the things that were brought to my attention. I also asked Craig to attend to a few minor details and they were all completed as promised.
Thanks again Craig.
Steve.

Service and MOT today - all taken care of quickly, painlessly and efficiently. Plus a chinwag and a much needed (car) wash too. Thanks MrM.

Big thanks to Craig,
I just realised my Exige would be needing a big 4 year service and an MOT before our Zandvoort/Zolder trip. That combined with me being away for a couple of weeks had me panicking, quick call to Craig and date agreed. So up early this morning to drop the car at Craig’s, I headed off to see “Brittania” and car all ready when I got back. Brilliant service, really does help not having to make a double journey from Aberdeen


“ Top job”

Good to catch up with Mr Moncrieff the legend

New brake fluid, spanner check, rear tyres plus a few other things I hadn’t noticed. Updates from Craig all the way, car was inside and immaculate when I picked it up

very fair pricing compared to mainstream, put the world to rights, yeah the customer is always right mate

More great service from Craig and the team yesterday, service and MOT, great value for money.
Car returned spotless, sparkling, quite a contrast to the embarissingly fly squashed car I dropped off.
Highly recommended

Another great service from Craig.
Bought some galvanised mud flap brackets for the Defender as the originals well looking well tatty.
Was going to aerosol the brackets myself but CMC took my spray cans and did that job and fitted the brackets as well.
Fantastic service as always.

Eventually managed to have some spare time to get my car MOTd after it had run out on March 28th, so I booked it in with Craig for its annual service and to get the A/C re-charged too.
My brake rotors were worn down too, but I cannot complain because it is the first time that I have had to change them in 5years of ownership and 38,000 miles including two Frolics, and dozens of spirited runs.
Great to catch up with Craig and I spent the day in Edinburgh until my car was ready. Once I picked up the car, I took the scenic route over Glenshee home in glorious sunshine to bed-in the new brakes.
Steve.

Took my 410 Sport to Craig for its second service. Great experience as ever and superb service. Went home to Carse if Gowrie via Kincardine, Powmill, Crook of Devon, Gleneagles, Crieff, Amulree, Dunkeld, Blairgowrie, Alyth, Kirriemuir, Meigle and Luncarty. Bit of a circuitous route but what a drive!

Through at CMC again recently for Elise service & MOT – great service, as always, from Craig and his team. Thanks to all.
Also feel lucky to have someone, with Craig’s knowledge and experience, who’s always happy to take time to provide help and advice throughout the year, no matter how large or small the perceived problem may be

Another completely painless MOT and service for me too. And a good car / dog chinwag to boot. Thank you Craig.
First time I have seen one of these out in the wild. I took this picture next Thursday. Only two owners - most recent one has had it since 1937.
