The 30 Best Handyman in Cardiff

“I had the dreaded BMW leaking headlight. Cardiff Auto Detailing were very quick to respond with good communications throughout. They are very knowledgeable on the issue and so far I am very pleased with the fix. Lovely fella and great service from a nice business that cares for it's custom without any unnecessary fuss. Highly recommended. Thank you Adrian.”

“Immediate answer on the phone in the morning and call arranged for the afternoon to check on a tyre on our motorhome. Great service. I would certainly use it again.”

“Our boiler finally gave up the other weekend—it was on its last legs a decade ago, so we’re amazed it lasted this long! I contacted a few boiler fitters, and Nigel at PHBlue was one of the quickest to respond. Not only did he provide a competitive quote, but he was also extremely responsive over text, answering all our queries promptly. He came out to see us within a few days, was polite and professional throughout, and did a great job. We’re happy with the work carried out and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Thanks again, Nigel and PHBlue!”

“Mike was the only person I could find to come and look at my car, which had broken down outside my house. Mike came from out of town to come and fix my car. Mike talked me through the issue, showing me the cause. I would highly recommend Mike.”

“Great experience and service from James and the team at Automotive Cardiff. I had a problem with my wiper blades right before the bank holiday, and was quite stressed as I needed to drive up to Scotland on the Tuesday. Brought the car in, James understood my short timeframe, diagnosed my problem right away, and offered a quick fix to last a few weeks that would get me back on the road. He also gave me a quote to replace the part, confirming with the supplier that they could get it and do it the next day (Friday) before the long weekend. I decided to get the part replaced and sort the issue for good. They had it done by the next afternoon and very kindly also topped up my oil, fixed something with my battery, and fixed a windscreen washer leak at no extra charge. Truly went above and beyond for me, even though I'm not local and sadly won't be able to be a repeat customer. Everyone was really friendly and easygoing, I felt really well looked after and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and reliable mechanics in Cardiff. Big thanks to the team for getting me back on the road – I made it up to Scotland no issues!”

“MOT & Service complete- very professional service, fair prices, lovely and helpful woman at reception. Would recommend this place, and I will be returning for any future services needed. I feel like I can trust this place, which isn't a feeling I take for granted as a woman vehicle owner going to a garage.”

“Simon is absolutely super. He’s done loads of flat pack assembly and putting up shelves, pictures and blinds for me. His work is top notch. He’s precise, fast, efficient and tidy. Simon takes great pride in his work and is also reliable, trustworthy and a joy to have around. I highly recommend him.”

“Promec is a great family-run business. From the friendly staff in the office, to the mechanics it always feels welcoming. It's the only place I trust my Defender - they know so much about them. They have replaced my output shaft and clutch with uprated ones from LOF - and the drive is much better. Ian always test drives them to sign off any work, and they proactively suggest preventive maintenance and reasonable upgrades. They are not pushy and give realistic advice.”

“Brilliant service!! Ordered item not in stock. (Gas cooker). Order arrived. within the week. Contacted about delivery. Was able to have delivery at a time that suited me. Far better than big retailers. BIG THANK'S.”

“Wynnes Motors are the best. Always helpful and friendly, they never rip you off and I always feel 100% confident in the work they carry out.”

“Jason and the team are fantastic. Very professional, very reliable and lovely genuine people too. I highly recommend autocraft for car servicing, MOT and repairs.”

“Excellent service, I was fearing the worst with my Ford Galaxy Auto gearbox, quotes were through the roof but Chat GBT suggested Autotex. He saw me the next day and fixed my initial problem with his diagnostic tool and I went back today for gearbox service, it's like a new car. If you have a problem and want a straight forward deal at an affordable price this is where to go. 5 stars no problem.”

“First time using CiVS and had plenty of recommendations from friends about this place. Rich was helpful and informative with no questions unanswered. Service, Haldex and brake fluid on my Golf GTi. Better price and service than dealer. Will recommend and return. Thankyou Rich.”

“What a service! From start to finish, the work I wanted done was delivered with excellence and in professional manner. Respectful & honest and just top guys all around. Also maintained clear lines of communication with me. In addition to the excellent service provided, I dropped a fiver without realising, and it was brought to my attention immediately. At this garage, you get what you paid for. Don’t get fooled by garages offering discounted prices on MOT & servicing because they will try to get you on the repairs. I certainly recommend this garage and I will be doing the same to my friends or anyone that asks me.”

“I remember coming here with my dad in the 70s and it's as good today as it was then. I called in for some brass screws that I couldn't find anywhere else. They had exactly what I wanted and it wasn't at all expensive. Old school, and all the better for it!”

“The team were fantastic replacing our windscreen. From initial call to the glass being replaced was about 24 hours! Very polite and fantastic customer service! Would highly recommend!!”

“Absolute angels and life savers. Gary came out to help us in around half an hour, fixed it in record time. He went to go pick up the necessary tyre and was ace. 100% recommended.”

“If i could give him more than 5 star i would . Amazing service, very professional and knowledgeable. Dave carbon cleaned my C350 CDI couple of days ago , it drives like new now . He also did a mercedes diagnostic testing and checked the engine. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs hydrogen carbon cleaning..”

“Can't rate these guys highly enough. Booked an MOT even though there were lights flashing on the dashboard. (A lease van needing returning out of contract) They passed the MOT and reset the lights, as the lease company (Vanarama!) refused to pay. Great service and highly recommended”

“George is such a pleasant and friendly man. He recently fixed skirting boards in three areas in a property my daughter has just purchased. He arrived promptly on the day arranged and completed the work to a high standard. I would thoroughly recommend George.”

“Second time using these helpful and skilled chaps and I’m 100% sure won’t be the last. Excellent again. Before and after pics attached.”

“Absolutely buzzing the whole team are amazing highly recommend thank you to you all for fitting my car in for an MOT at last minute. Keep doing what your doing”

“Excellent customer service provided by Branden, was kept informed from start to finish. My vehicle was returned in excellent condition and on time. Would highly recommend. Everyone dealing within a public service environment should have a Branden! Thanks so much for everything ❤️”

“The halfords service centre is top notch.Easy to book appointments,and you know your car is in safe hands. Prices are so competitive and the attention to detail is first class”

“Highly recommend this place whenever I can. I’ve been using them for many years for MOT/servicing/ tyres and repair work. Always had excellent communication, pricing and results. Recently Matt really went above and beyond to diagnose and fix a problem with my old car (not worth anything, but kept for sentimental reasons). His dedication and hard work was greatly appreciated. In my experience the whole team are unfailingly knowledgeable, helpful and courteous. A pleasure to do business with.”

“I’ve been coming to Just MOT & Repair for years now, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Finding a trustworthy garage is absolutely crucial—especially when you’re not particularly clued up on cars like myself - and these guys are as honest as they come. They do the job properly, charge fairly, and never try to push unnecessary repairs to scam you, which has happened to me before in other garages. I’m glad I’ve found the perfect place for my car in Cardiff and will continue to come here for life. I really appreciate is their clear communication. They explain everything in a way that actually makes sense, so you know exactly what’s being done and why. No pressure—just honest, straightforward service. They’re also incredibly efficient, so you’re never left waiting around longer than necessary. Another great touch is their MOT reminder service. If you’ve had your MOT done with them before, they’ll send you both an email and a letter when it’s coming up for renewal, which is really handy. It’s just another example of how well they look after their customers. The whole team is brilliant, from the receptionist to the mechanics, but a special shoutout to Nathan S, who is always professional, efficient, and really knows his stuff. The level of service and genuine care you get here is why I keep coming back year after year. Also, if you do need to wait around, there are a couple of coffee shops within a five-minute walk, which is a nice bonus. 10/10 would absolutely recommend, especially if you’re someone who worries about being overcharged or misled at a garage. Just MOT & Repair, you can rely that your car is in safe, honest hands. Thanks again, guys—really appreciate the top-notch service!”

“Very good staff very happy with the service great place great staff”

“Great service from the team. And good to follow progress of the repair. Before and after photos show the work required and quality of work done. ✅”

“I have recently received my Volkswagen Scirocco back from Sytner in Cardiff as a result of a hit and run accident that caused front end damage. It took just under a month for the car to be returned and it looks and feels better than brand new. The work consisted of both body panel restoration and major mechanical parts needing to be replaced and re coded into my vehicle. It was dealt with efficiently by Sytner and my car was returned with no hassle - halfway through the repair I was even offered an alternative hire car from BMW for ease of travelling. Would highly recommend the Repair Centre and the staff working there - they made the process less stressful and Jackie and Jess were always on hand to assist with any queries I had.”

“Had my car repaired here after an accident. It was in for less than 30 hours and was returned back to me all finished. A perfect job. Looked amazing. Friendly and helpful staff too. 100% recommended”
