The 30 Best Auto repair in Brighton

“Bruce repaired and painted our beloved VW T5 side door. My trusted mechanic recommended Bodycare, and I now know why. The door looks as good as new. Great service, professionally executed by a stand up gentleman. On top of all of that, the price was magnificent. Look no further, this is your place. Thanks Bodycare, I'm loving your work!”

“My family and I have been going here for about 20 years; to have our cars MoTd, or repaired and occasionally to buy or sell a car. Phil, his son Ben and the rest of the crew are fabulous! Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely reccomend!! :)”

“Graham came out on too look at my car on short notice, he was very polite, informational, and fixed the issues that I had. Would highly recommend”

“The boys at UMS were a massive help to me on Friday night when I got a flat tire- like completely flat! I own the florist on the high street and had an event the next day so needed the car asap! The boys rescued me from the high street, drove my car to the garage and fitted me a new tire in 45 minutes. Friendly and helpful staff, will definitely be back now I know they are there. Thanks guys”

“I have just had my car repaired here. I had damaged the bumper on my car, took it to them on Monday and they managed to squeeze it in for me and get it completed within two days. My car now looks amazing, you cant see that there was any damage. The service was amazing and a very good price. I would definitely recommend.”

“I was going to write to head office to give them a good review myself, so hope this reaches them. I have been to this branch twice now and have left feeling very pleased with the service. Nothing is too much for them, and they have sorted it ON the day both times, which is really great when you need your car to get to work! They are friendly and approachable. Please can you reward them in some way - perhaps half a day's holiday each??”

“We took our 2005 Mercedes CLK Convertible to have the gearbox rebuilt about 12 months ago and the car has driven like new since. These guys will do a proper job at a very reasonable price. They charged me way less than the original quote. They are very highly recommended by most mechanics in our local area and they deserve their excellent reputation”

“Book early to get the best home service for your van. £240 for our single axle was great vfm and several replacement bits were covered in the price. Shaun is a nice guy, professional, gives impartial advice and I wouldn’t go anywhere else from now on.”

“Craig did a wonderful job replacing the fabric and rear windscreen on my TVR. A very good professional job. Would highly recommend.”

“Great service and a little discount without even asking, great service”

“Very competitively priced and 24hour delivery. Needed a complete rocker assembly for a 78 Midget and my mechanic said it was a high quality product that did the job brilliantly. Must admit the car pulls a lot better now”

“Excellent. Can’t recommend enough.”

“Popped in to get my air con checked after being told by a national chain garage it was booked in with that they could not do it as it had the newer type gas and not the older type as stated when online booking. Now waiting for my refund. Arrived at C R Allen and the service was great, came straight out and had a look to confirm it was the old type gas which was great as it's cheaper. They then said they had a slot to be able to do it for me straight away. Told me the price and also advised having the pollen filter changed as it had not been done in the last 12 months. Price agreed and the van went straight in. Drove away an hour later all nice and chilled with my air con working. Happy to recommend.”

“I read a review here about how ECP are not very cost competitive which is a wild comment because these guys put halfords to shame with their low prices. I use express for all parts i need in my business and ive not found anywhere cheaper in sussex or surrey. Thanks for the constant support from express car parts. Love you lot!”

“My order arrived faster than expected. All parts were individually packed and in perfect condition. Highly recommended!”

“Great customer service Had a problem with a locking wheel nut key which they resolved and the fitting was faultless Helpful, pleasant guys, highly recommended”

“Following a technical fault with my vehicle which required roadside recovery I contacted Swift via their WhatsApp account to hopefully initiate a possible diagnosis the following day. To my surprise I received an immediate response via the App and by swapping messages was able to have the vehicle recovered to the workshop ready for the following day. It was very reassuring at the time to know we had Swift in place to investigate the problem and to be able to leave the vehicle at their site overnight with a reasonable sense of security considering how late in the evening the vehicle recovered. I also received a call at 08:02 the following morning to discuss the matter in detail. The diagnostic process was complex, but ultimately a definitive fault was found and the relevant part replaced, additional work was also identified and I was happy to agree it’s completion as I like to have a well maintained/ serviced/repaired vehicle. Throughout the process, Swift communicated with me by email and phone and text, when I wanted to have a detailed discussion about the problem and resolve I was able to do so by being passed to the appropriate people in a timely manner. I was impressed by the way in which the team were keen to hear the history and scenarios whereby the fault had occurred, this was so much more reassuring than just being told that they would plug in the diagnostics and find the problem. The vehicle has been previously serviced/MOT’d by Swift and is booked again for 2026, all being well this recent repair will prove to be a success and enable me to use the vehicle with confidence. I currently feel reassured that in the unlikely event of a recurrence Swift would deal with the matter accordingly. I would definitely recommend Swift Motors.”

“It was a busy day when I went but they had it well managed and everyone knew exactly when they would be seen to. When it was my cars turn, they did the job really quickly and with a smile. I was pleasantly surprised when I learnt that they also do mechanical repairs and I got a quote on the spot, beating a quote that I got from another garage by a lot!”

“Despite being ridiculously busy and short staffed (I really felt for one guy who couldn't get anything done, without the phone ringing, or a stream of customers coming in) the team were all delightful and helpful and apologetic for the wait. What a credit they are to this organisation. I feel they need some additional help to answer phones and do the admin ATS!”

“Ace, dependable and reliable. Good availability, good prices and easy to talk to.”

“David had just solved quite a tricky problem with my car and I am extremely impressed with his skill and knowledge. On this and earlier occasions he has always been really helpful, open and transparent. I would recommend this garage without any reservation at all.”

“Had my car towed here at short notice after breaking down. Within an hour they had diagnosed the problem and quoted me a price, which considering the size of the job was reasonable. Very transparent with the work required, kept me informed throughout and completed the job within a couple of days. Wouldn't go anywhere else.”

“Massive thank you to Simon & Danny who went out of their way to help us! They came to our house to fix a flat battery within an hour of calling and helped my partner find a new car, which she loves!! Will be recommending to friends & family and coming back in the future!!”

“I had been having intermittent problems with my front brakes getting stuck for over a year. After taking my car to three other mechanics who had not been able to fully solve the issue, I called up Baris at B&H Motor Services who fit me in the next day. They managed to fully fix the brakes, which are running perfectly six months later, at a very reasonable price. Would fully recommend”

“They did my van realy great job very professional”

“I cannot praise Martin and MJB motors highly enough. Martin had been recommended to me by a friend and was very professional and helpful and gave me a great deal on my car. He took me through the whole procedure and the money was in my account instantly. Especially grateful to Harrison for dropping me off at the station afterwards. He is going to be a great asset to the business. Many thanks, Martin and Harrison. I look forward to doing business with you again, if I am ever in the market for a car.”

“My GT4 needed a thorough clean/valet after a 2000 mile road trip across France in some pretty foul weather. Lots of mud outside and inside! I engaged with Kamil over email and he was always responsive, informative, very knowledgeable, and polite. I took the car into the VRS studio for a decontamination wash and interior clean, at a reasonable price for the car size. Kamil was running a little bit late to open up due to Brighton traffic (which can be terrible) and he let me know this via a text message. I'm very pleased with the outcome of the services performed, the car looks fantastic and has been put into winter storage. Next year, I'll look to some sort of coating with Kamil, as very happy with what he's done so far. Recommended.”

“So glad to have found this garage. I needed a repair doing and they sorted it so quickly and at really reasonable price. I was wary of being overcharged somewhere being young woman and new driver but no - totally fair, respectful and understanding. Happy with the job they've done and especially to get it sorted so quickly. I would definitely recommend to anyone, and will be using them again for service and MOT and any repairs in future if needed.”

“What a great garage. My car was towed here as head gasket was very “poorly”. They checked and confirmed the diagnosis. I offered to pay for their time, but they declined any payment. What a lovely garage. Will recommend highly. Thanks to Michael and the team.”

“Steve is a great professional. I had issue with my Z4 E89 roof and he went out his way to ensure it’s working diligently before completion. Extremely happy and would recommend.”
