    Recently went into store with a train that only went backwards Chris was very quick to take a look at it and see what might be the issue, after a quick service (which is not something they normally offer) the issue was fixed. Lovely friendly service and couldn’t thank Chris enough !

    Not been there as I deal with them online. They seem to have very good prices and customer service is fairly good.

    I will never use this business again. It is all ok if there are not any problems. However when problems arise - there is a lack of continuity and customer support. It never used to be like this. If you want a hassle free service go elsewhere. Very sad really.
