What our customers say...

I have had the pleasure in working with Straightset for the last 5 years, they are easy to contact and very helpful on the phone it could be a breakdown/service or just some information required including a well stocked parts department. We have a very busy workshop working a 3 shift basis so I must have a company that I can depend on and great engineers who can work under the extreme pressure to repair or service with minimum disruption and that’s why I have Straightset.

Facilities Manager
Stockport
I feel it necessary to compliment your staff on the exemplary service we have received from Straightset over many years. Your technician who regularly attends our dealership to carry out installation and maintenance work equally deserves a mention, with reference to his quality of service and “can do” attitude. Indeed, if I received the same quality of service and work from every other supplier I deal with on a day to day basis, it would make my job so much easier.
