Well im converted!
I've been having braking issues with the VX and the car just hasn't been feeling right, so i thought I'd give craig and the guys a chance to work their magic. After a few friendly emails and phone calls a pretty competitive service price was agreed with a promise to look after me on the brake investigation. So I dropped the car off on the Saturday and awaited "the phone call" on Monday.
The phone call came and was delivered with good humour and honesty - the brakes were the least of my issues it would appear! Craig was understanding and offered advice on where i could source parts and what my options were. Although Craig prefers new kit he was more happy for me to source second hand parts if required. We then agreed on a stupidly low price to fit the new stuff (suspension, hub, handbrake cable, drop links) and give the brakes a good clear out.
Picked up the car yesterday and it was immaculately clean, ive got a huge print out of all the work that was carried out as well as a note of what might be needed in the next few months. The most impressive thing is that the price hasnt budged one bit but i keep noticing little things that have been done on the car. The boot lid now sits flush, the bit of the brake discs that goes rusty is now painted etc etc etc.
So overall the bill was larger than i was initially expecting (indeed larger than ive ever paid for the vx) but most of the bill was parts and i feel like it was proper value for money. You can't knock the glow of satisfaction from knowing you car has been checked with a fine tooth comb. Kept informed all the way through the process and, initial phone call apart, there were no shocks along the way. So it's a huge thank you from me.
I'll definitely be back

Recently after my ECU went pop and I replaced it with an Astra one I needed to get it sorted out. There was no way that I was letting Vauxhall near it without supervision so I put it into Craig at MMC to have a bash at it. Turns out they couldn't do anything with it, but had a few friends in the vauxhall garage up the road. So he got it ran up to the garage and stood over a guy who pressed some buttons on the tech2 to reprogram it. All done as a favour and for providing a bacon roll 
. So with no charge to me, I dropped off a case of beer in his direction. 
After the hoon, there were a few of us having brakes issues. (I think Craig_S was the worst) so I gave Craig a text and asked when I could bring it in to have a look.
It's in there at the moment and I've just recieved a phone call. Turns out the fluid is shot and has been boiled multiple times. oops! 
While I was on the phone he commented that the disks were a little bit rough round the edges so he'd sort that out for me, he'd also clean up the runners to get them running a bit smoother and while he was at it, what colour did I want my calipers painted after he got them cleaned up. 
That's on top of finding my ABS issue (my dodgy cut-off bullett connectors under the bonnet.) Pikey-tastic! 
So the charge was either £60 to refresh and replace the brake fluid or £80 to do the clutch lines as well at the same time. Thought I'd splash out and it should be ready to pick-up after work.
He also said that the car was manky (off-road antics at knockhill) so would get it cleaned for me.
Great service from Craig who's been trying for a while to get people returning to MMC. The good thing is I can get my car booked in by Email, Text or phonecall. 
Looking forward to getting the car back again.
