How to read it: each figure is printed exactly as the record gives it, the chip beside the hero figure says how it was checked, and the source line beneath this table names where it was read and, where one exists, the date. A range is printed as a range; the top of it is never quoted as the typical result.

No uplift figure is published for this case. The figures above are the client’s public ratings or counts as recorded on the date shown, not a before-and-after measurement, and the work is not claimed to have produced them.

What it shows a London business

2 points, no new figures

  • For a trusted local business the problem is rarely the quality of the work; it is that the trust is invisible to anyone who has not already been a customer.
  • An MOT, a clutch and a diagnostic fault are different searches. A page for each is how a garage appears for all of them.
