Andrew Metcalfe - July 12, 2026

"My daughters car developed a loud grinding noise from the brakes and was exceptionally noisy . They were on holiday in Wells at the time and due to drive back to Leeds the next day with two small children She drove to Dunthornes who without hesitation inspected her car and confirmed it had suffered from a stone stuck in the handbrake pads .After checking all 4 wheels they confirmed that the issue had resolved and the car was good to go .The service from this garage is exceptional and they are so good (when you are stuck in a holiday location with concerns for your car) at putting your mind at ease . I can not rate them highly enough ,true professionals,who genuinely help when you are stuck .They care !!! which is very rare in a lot of places .We got back to Leeds all safe and sound and were able to enjoy our last day in Wells due to the help and caring attitude of Dunthornes .Thank you so much"

"Dunthorne’s have been brilliant for my Land Rover discovery. I have used them for a full service and various repairs, and they’ve always looked after me so well. I have turned up multiple times unexpectedly (sorry!) and they’ve always helped me there and then. They really do go above and beyond! I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you Ant and the team!"

"Fantastic service and friendly staff! I was visiting the area on holiday and my brakes needed urgent repair and they were able to fit me in the same day and fix them ready for us to drive home safely. Great service, friendly and explained everything clearly so I knew the options I had and costs upfront. Would highly recommend!"

"We can’t thank Dunthorne's Garage enough for their help just a few days before Christmas. After a long journey in our campervan, the engine coolant light suddenly came on — not exactly what you want when you’re away from home and just before Christmas! Despite how busy that time of year is, they didn’t hesitate to offer their help and take a look at the van for us. They were incredibly supportive, reassuring, and genuinely kind throughout the whole experience. They gave us the peace of mind we needed to drive home confidently and safely. It made such a difference to our stress levels after what had already been a long trip. Fantastic service, professional, and truly helpful when we needed it most. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thank you again!"
