Thank you for your review and recommendation Mike. We look forward to seeing you in the future.
Really happy with the service here! They got my MOT and advisories sorted all in the same day, which was super convenient. I also had a problem with my door handle – they fixed it quickly and for a fair price, and even said I should pop back for further attention. Communication was great throughout, and everyone was friendly and helpful, giving good advice on how to keep things in check. Definitely recommend!
After a difficult start, faulty part that had to be replaced and the issue arising on a Friday. I cant fault the way the staff worked to put it right. Helpful, courteous and respectful. Gemma is so lovely. I will definitely be back in the future.
Highly recommended. Identified an issue that other garages could solve, further investigation and part fitted in timely and competitive price. Awesome 🙌
After taking my car to another garage it was determined I needed a new wet belt. I used TipTop for the first time as they are one of the garages that offer this service, they got my car in within a week. Very friendly & helpful - I will definitely be bringing my car back here!
Lovely ladies on Reception, always give a thorough explanation of work done.
Kept up to date with what was going on with my repair. Great friendly staff, will definitely use again
Excellent service and always very helpful

Thank you
Lovely people to deal with, very friendly and so helpful.
My husband had a problem, which was nothing to do with garage but he needed help asap. I rang up they said to go down there that afternoon.
The problem was solved very quickly and cannot thank them enough.
Such a refreshing change to deal with friendly, helpful people. Family run local businesses are most definitely the best to deal with.

Thank you for your fabulous feedback Robert
Having been messed around by others on diagnosing a fault with my aircon, this garage found the fault very quickly. The job was expensive, but it has sorted my aircon so I am pleased. The staff were friendly and efficient and I would use this garage again.
The only reason for not giving 5 stars is the way their invoice is set out. It would be more helpful and a lot clearer if the invoice showed
Parts and cost
Labour and cost
Vat
Total.
I just felt that the invoice was unclear.

Highly recommend tiptop. Gemma and Helen are absolutely amazing and so helpful. I won’t go anywhere else with my car! Thank you.
Really helpful, friendly staff. The garage is easy to find and has ample parking. The working and reception spaces are clean and professional. The work I needed doing was done quickly, accurately and at a great price. They also have a comfortable waiting area from which you can watch the work being carried out if you are so inclined.
Never found them anything other than helpful when they can.

I feel its abit scary goin to a garage on my own I hate it but not anymore the ladys on Reception desk r lovely an very helpful I have no complaints with tip-top garage 10/10 😀
I’ve been a customer of TopTop for a number of years. I’ve always found the service and professionalism of all the staff second to none. Paul, Pam and the guys have kept my cars in excellent mechanical condition, nothing as been too much trouble, they’ve gone above and beyond at times to help me and I thank them for that. I have no issue recommending Tip Top to anyone wanting a reliable garage to look after their “pride and joy”!

Thank you for sharing Iwan.
Fantastic garage! We recently started using Tip Top Garage after struggling to find a garage and a mechanic that we could trust and that understood what we wanted when it came to our VW T5 Campervan. Tip Top have met all our needs, above and beyond our expectations. Both the garage and Nathan our mechanic have been fantastic at understanding that we wish to restore our campervan not just fix broken parts.
Gemma & Helen on reception are both warm & friendly and very knowledgeable. Gemma has been a star pricing and locating all the parts we’ve needed and really understands what we need.
Nathan the mechanic has been brilliant at giving the appropriate expertise and care to our beloved camper. He has also given us good advice and we really feel we can trust his expertise, knowledge and work.
We would highly recommend Tip Top Garage, the workmanship and their professionalism from reception through to the mechanics is next to none.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are pleased that you are happy with our customer service and workmanship. We look forward to seeing you next time.
Had my MOT here as was too late to book into my normal garage.
Failed MOT £236 plus needed investigation into parking break efficiency, shown my garage the list of ‘fails’ and took it to him same day, half the stuff did not need doing! My parking break is perfect.
Next day my car had work that actually needed doing & re-tested for £100. Would not recommended sadly

Response from the owner 11:36 02 Apr 25
Hi Trudi, thank you for you feedback. I wish to clarify that the £236 was for the MOT Failure Repair immediately (major defects) on your Nearside Front Suspension arm ball joint. The Repair immediately (major defect) parking break failure is tested on an electronic MOT Brake Roller where the parking brake is engaged while the rollers try to turn the wheels, assessing the parking brake's effectiveness. The Brake Roller is electronically linked to the DVSA and is regularly calibrated. The roller was recently callibrated and so cannot be incorrect.I also wish to point out that the garage you took it too also failed the MOT test on your car on the same day as we failed it.We do encourage customers to talk to us if they're not happy and would appreciate that you did that if you decide to visit us in future.
First time I have ever used this garage for MOT and small service. Staff appeared friendly and efficient. Very pleased and would recommend
Response from the owner 08:23 13 Mar 25
Hi Eileen, welcome, and we hope to see you next time.
A nightmare for me and the Garage that's all I can say but they sorted it out and I will use them again ,thanks tip top .
Very pleasant experience from the cheery, friendly receptionist booking the job to end product
Amazing team with excellent customer service from Gemma and Helen. I always take my micra acenta there for everything. They fitted me in straight away today for my car to have a new battery. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Thank you Tip Top 😊😊
Just had my van serviced & MOT done, Excellent service from the whole garage, Will definitely use again
The most honest service and mot centre I have ever used. I will not go anywhere else with my cars.
Response from the owner 13:40 17 Jul 22
Thanks for your review Dave. Glad that we could help!
Just had my Range Rover serviced by these amazing guys, nothing is too much. Can’t thank you enough. See you in 6 months
Recently had my MOT here and the staff were very nice and very helpful. The Car needed some work doing to pass the MOT which was sorted out the same day and for a good price. I will definitely be using Tip Top Garage for any future work on my car, I highly recommend using Tip Top Garage for your MOT.
Just to update from my previous review. I have been back for another Asda tyre fitting and the service etc is still as below 100% recommended.
Ordered my tyres(18 inch for Tiguan) through Asda(on line). Far cheaper than anywhere else in the Flint/Chester area. Fitting booked on line at a time that suited me. Ladies in reception were very pleasant and as good sense of humour. Obviously a favourite with the community as some people were greeted with first names and a bit of banter. Everyone collecting or dropping off had the work clearly explained. Waiting area is pleasant, clean and tidy...and comfortable. Tyre fitting took about 30 minutes.
100%recommended.
I can't speak for the MoT or repairs side because I didn't call on those services but the impression it left with me is it should be very good (comment based on seeing a few repeat customers while I was waiting, the cleanliness of the place, politeness, efficiency)

Thank you Roger for you feedback. 
Absolutely fantastic garage. Brilliant work done on my car. But more so, was the helpfulness after the repair. My warranty company were just being silly regards an invoice because it showed other repairs too. Had a word with tiptop and they were so helpful to get me another invoice made. I cab pass this on and get my claim done.
Please can you just also say special thanks to Gemma. She has been an absolute star.
5 stars is not nearly enough to show how good this garage is 😊

My car had a loud knocking sound . I phoned Tip Top Garage and my car was fitted in the same day to diagnose the problem. Fault found and new part ordered and was fitted the next day.
Also had MOT and full service the following week.
Excellent service by the whole team. Reception staff so helpful and efficient. Mechanic listened to the problem and found it straight away.
I cannot speak more highly of this garage and would recommend it to anyone.
Excellent service. Thank you so much.

Many thanks Barbara for your feedback
Very friendly and efficient. I had a puncture on the A55 and made it to the garage. They sorted me a new tyre at a good price.
Great service and kept me informed of any extra work that was required throughout.
Easy to book the van in. Great communication on what was available and regular reminders prior to appointment. Work was done quickly and clear follow up advice given. Great experience
Fair play never used this garage before due to being stuck in our ways and not Liking change, but I thought I would give them a go and honestly found they could not do enough to help. Very honest very thorough and very fair. We will definitely be taking all our vehicles here from now on

Thank you for trusting us and we look forward to seeing you again when you need us. 
The best. Went the extra mile to make sure I paid the best price. Needed new wiper fittings and they hunted down excellent second hand ones on eBay rather than very expensive dealer alternatives.
Ordered them and then got them fitted.
It’s why they deserve everyone’s support.

My local garage. Problem with lock on door, saved me money on original quote as they went beyond to investigate further and solved the problem for so much less than expected. I use them all the time for MOT and service, honest and reliable. Everyone is very helpful. Gemma kept me up to date and accommodated my needs with the booking in times. I strongly recommend. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Couldn’t rate this place any higher! So helpful. Gemma in reception made sure to ring me with updates throughout the day whilst my car was serviced, had a part fitted and went through MOT. To top it all off the bill was much more affordable than I was expecting. Any future issues with my car and Tip Top will be the first place I go to! Thank you so much
I had a full service and MOT very pleased with the work, price and politeness of the staff. Also they are doing a splendid job with my 1993 campervan, that's had a full service and new cambelt, needs a lot of welding new wings and back panels. I am really looking forward to see the end result.
