Such a fantastic and friendly garage. When you don't know much about cars, taking one in to see a mechanic can be a tense time, but the team were instantly welcoming, put me at ease AND sorted out my car. And yes, we made it to Scotland! Thank you guys, all the best, Kristina (Maria)
Steve and his team were very kind and helped me in my time of need. I’d recently spent a load of money on my campervan with another mechanic and driven it up from Devon only to find a coolant leak the next day. Steve slotted me in within the hour, showed me the cause of the problem and got his efficient team to work. Within 2 hours I was back on the road and only £40 out of pocket. Thanks for your help! Highly recommend!
Extortionately expensive! As previous reviewers have said this garage charges an hourly labour rate of £120 which is the same as some main dealer rates. Do not get any work done here without first getting a quote. After picking up my car I took my invoice (see attached) to Dorridge Autos for a price comparison and they confirmed that they would have charged me £400 less for the same work. Do not make the same mistake I made. Get a quote beforehand or better still go elsewhere.
Steve is an absolute legend! He came to my rescue this morning and fitted me in for an MOT very last minute and it was a Saturday! Such a lovely guy, really friendly and really went out of his way for me. He restored my faith in humankind, thank you so much x
Buying a car from Lapworth Garage has been a fantastic experience. Stephen has been helpful, honest and supportive. He sold at a very fair price, offering for me to check out any part of the vehicle, even putting it up on the ramp. And he MOT's and prepared the car very well ready for me to pick up two days later. He also offered to support the car with anything more that needed doing. I bought it back a week later as it was running a bit roughly, he traced the fault ordered the parts and now it runs brilliantly - and with no charge! He even picked me up from the station. Could not recommend highly enough
Ridiculously expensive! As previous reviewer said, get a quote prior to any work being done.
If you're going to get any work done here, I'd highly recommend getting a quote beforehand as it's the most expensive independent garage I've ever come across, their hourly labour rate rivals some official dealerships in the area. My partner had a service and MOT here on her 14 year old car and it was nearly £500 - no extra work done, just the standard service parts. Compare that to last year's service & MOT for £140 at a garage about 5 miles from this one. When she picked up her car, the owner told her he conveniently forgot to mention that they use premium oil, which set her back £80 for a few litres. We called the owner and he was polite and approachable about it, but we still feel ripped off and won't be coming here again.
Great motor mechanics! All above board and can fix everything.
Steve managed to book my car in at late notice. Upon arrival his team where very friendly and professional. They are clearly very knowledgeable and experienced. Thanks again for the first class service, I’ll be bringing all of my cars here going forward.
If I could give more stars for this garage I would.. I had a an issue with the front lights on my car and after a series of unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue from the so called main dealership I decided to go to my local garage for help. Steve and his mechanics diagnosed the problem, sorted parts and had me back on the road within a couple of days I cannot recommend this garage enough, expert diagnosis and reassuring explanations of the job that needs doing. You feel they genuinely care about the Customer and their work Well done to the team. Both my partner and myself will have our cars maintained by Lapworth garage from now on PW.
