I contacted Carnies after another company provided me with an unsatisfactory explanation for a rattle that had developed after they had carried out some work on my car.
Kevan inspected my car while I waited and found that the rattle had been caused by a loose nut in the area the previous company had repaired. The job took around 10 minutes.
I'll be using Carnies again in future. I found them friendly, informative, efficient and trust worthy. Highly recommended.

Carnies has done a lot of work into my car, first time was my track rod end. They fixed it straightaway at an affordable price. Second time I took my car to another garage and my car failed MOT, I was quoted £890 to fix it. After bringing it to Carnies, they checked it all over and turned out half the stuff didn’t need done! They fixed all the issues, and re MOTed it and it was less than £500. Fab, fast and reliable service. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic garage that will have you going back again and again. Very Friendly bunch, you even get included in the work place banter! Ha ha!
I own an older vehicle, and these guys are constantly sourcing parts for me, and patching the old girl up.
Keeping her road worthy.

They've gone above and beyond on a couple of occasions for me, really helping me out.
Highly recommended.

First time I have used Carnie’s and will definitely be back! I was very impressed by the service I received today when I took my car in for its MOT. It was done quickly and efficiently and Kevin was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and advised me (in simple terms I could understand) what some of the ongoing ‘niggles’ I have with the car are, why they are happening and how they can be resolved.
Would highly recommend.

Very helpful replacing a trashed wing mirror. Their quote was almost 4 times cheaper than another. The colour match isn't perfect, but who cares when done quickly, efficiently and at such a competitive price.

Had 4 new tyres fitted including disposal, whilst on the ramps kevan did a full check of the car. Really first class service again and I would be very surprised if you can get a better service anywhere else.

Have used Carnies garage fore about 6 years now and never once have I thought that I was being “done” Kevin and his team are friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Not knowing anything about cars I rely on them to diagnose and fix in the fairest and most economical way. They have always down this for me. Would recommend them for friendly local car services.
Keep up the good work. Cheers

I had my car mot'd and puncture repaired today. The service given and quality received meant I booked my next service without hesitation. Was good to see true mechanics working on cars and not just someone relying on a computer to tell them what's wrong. Thank you.

I took my car to the garage for its annual service and from start to finish the customer service received was spot on. From getting it booked in a couple weeks before, to turning up on the booked day. The service was completed quickly and efficiently with no hassle and any other factors that came up were clearly communicated to me and resolved. Would recommend Carnies for efficient service and good value for money too.

Edinburgh, Tuesday the 19th of February.
I am a new customer at the firm. M.O.T. was due and a repair to the steering rack, plus "bits and bobs".
My wife had "discovered" this very good garage by pure coincidence on the Trusted Trader of Edinburgh webpage while mainly seeking for a plumber and I have not regretted to give it a go. The test was conducted with no fuss at all, they also fitted in with the date that was most suitable to me. Work was completed rather swiftly with no delays.
This guys have all the qualities some would expect when dealing with the public, you name it and I am certainly not attempting to over praising them by making such a statement, it is the pure truth.
To say the cost of the work done has been extremely reasonable it might be an understatement. When I had later visioned the bill at home I believed they had made a mistake, but at a closer inspection I came to understand there was no error. That was the true cost. Amazed, to say the least!!! I have been taken for a ride to the cleaners all this years with all implausible reasons given of why the repairs to my luxury vehicle always had to be so astronomically expensive and today I was presented with a bill for £112.00 pounds.
I am awarding them with five stars score and an A+++++ for they truly deserve it.
I do highly vouch this "Mechanics".

Car booked in for MOT but unfortunately failed due to broken spring, it was clearly explained to us what needed done and what it would cost, A part was ordered and whilst we waited for delivery we were supplied with coffee, on arrival the part was fitted, the MOT redone letting us get on our way
