I have just had my car MOT'd at Academy and the service was exceptional. I brought my work with me and was able to utilise their guest office space to continue where I left off in the office. There is full wifi access and tea and coffee (and hot chocolate) available to keep you hydrated whilst you wait. Very comfortable surroundings, extremely pleasant staff and excellent service too. Many thanks.
I found Academy Group last year through Best of Bury and was impressed with their customer service. I have taken my car back again this year for a health check and MOT and can say they have kept up those standards. I trust and recommend them highly.
Excellent and efficient service always. I recently took the car to Academy for a service. I received a courtesy car for the day and was kept up to date throughout the day on the progress of my own. The team are extremely friendly and knowledgable and I'd recommend them highly to anyone needing work done.
I would thoroughly recommend Academy for all car servicing and repairs. First Class Service.
As Group Transport Manager of William Hare Limited with a fleet of just over 90 vehicles, we have been dealing with Academy for the past 10 years and have always been given excellent service. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jason and his team to any company looking for a first class service.
We are very happy with our car(Honda Civic). We would like to thank you and all the staff at Academy for the professional and friendly service. Warm Regards, Jai and Nancy
Absolutely thrilled to bits! and thank you for the complimentary valet! Jackie Donnelly, Chevron Bramalls.
Overall the service was fantastic! couldnt have asked for anymore! James Road, FSG Stannah.
From my point of view improving your service would be difficult as my experience has been so positive, thanks for your help and service.
When I saw the Academy Group deals I thought the MOT and small service offer was "too good to be true," but they turned out to be "true and good!" Thank you Martin for arranging a helpful and efficient service when my car was with Academy. It is a five star recommendation from me.
What can i say, excellent service at Academy Group!!
Friendly, efficient servcies at Academy Group!
Academy offer an excellent service and an excellent garage.
Academy Group MOT'd my car, now serviced it, the free health check was great!
Wrecked my tyre today and going on holiday tomorrow, thanks Academy, all done.
The Academy Group went out of their way to provide me with excellent servie and customer care.
We took a gamble, never having hired a motorhome before, not knowing where we were going or what to expect but my wife and I and both children havenât stopped talking about our New Yearâs adventure and telling everyone all about it. We can thoroughly recommend this type of holiday to anyone and the assistance, advice and friendliness shown to us by the staff at Freedhome in Bury was second to none. Well done and thank you to Jason and his team.
I am writing in relation to thank you for the excellent work you have produced. I have finally had the opportunity to review both the still images and the 360° video that you produced and I am delighted with the quality of your work. Jason Mawdsley, Managing Director, Academy
Just used Academy Group in Bury and found them to be very friendly and helpful staff. A Egan, Egan Building Ltd.
My car went in to Academy for a new exhaust - I am so glad that they noticed my two illegal tyres!!! Many thanks for keeping me safe. Chris D
Academy Group fixed my water leak on my car again. I had one last year too and am pleased to say that I am now nice and dry again. Thanks, Don
My car has just passed it's MOT again thanks to Academy. I needed new bulbs but that was my fault and I should have checked. Thanks again - Mr Haslam
