Great service from friendly, reliable garage

We've used Brakesafe for years and really trust them. They check what needs to be done, are clear about the price, answer questions, are friendly and transparent. We've never doubted them or their work. Great family business.

Best garage in Edinburgh

Couldn’t recommend more. Very friendly and helpful staff. Fit you in last minute if you have any issues. Honest and upfront re car issues and cost. Very reasonably priced. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Friendly, professional, efficient and fast

I took my car in just for a check-up, a week before a long trip, as the engine noise was getting worryingly loud. 4 hours later they called me, with the news that it had all sorts of things wrong with it (exhaust almost falling offer, converter almost dead, brake pad issues). I asked them to do what was necessary, and remarkable within just over 24 hours I got a call saying everything was fixed and I could pick up my car!
This is a small garage, run by people who know cars inside out, and it shows.

Excellent garage. Thoroughly recommended.

Brakesafe was recommended to me over 30 years ago. I have used Brakesafe exclusively since then. I have never been disappointed. Brakesafe are that rare bread of garage, being both highly competent and honest. They are always willing to go above and beyond and without needing to be asked. They are a friendly family business.

I have been using Brakesafe sine 2006 having been let down by some other auto workshops. I have come to completely trust them. They are always professional and transparent and obviously take real pride in their work. Exemplary service and always great advice. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
