“Genuinely the best garage I’ve ever used. I had an issue with the electronics on my Nissan leaf. They were transparent from the start . Great communication. Incredibly quick with the repair. Detailed invoice, reasonable price for the work carried out. The auto elec/engineers/ mechanics obviously know what they are doing. My car was in better condition being picked up than when it went in. Attention to detail (the latch on my glove box had been broken for a while and I noticed it was repaired when it came back, even though that wasn’t the repair it went in for) . The front of house lady was also excellent and pie hot on keeping me updated with everything. Can’t fault the overall experience. 100% would use again.”

“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.”

“Consistent good service, friendly staff. Been taking our cars here for MOTs for a few years now, never any issues. Honest and open communication at all times. Great local garage.”

“Fast & reliable service - I called up yesterday with an issue with my brakes, brought the car straight in and collected this morning all fixed. Reasonable pricing and friendly owners. Thanks again Jonathan!”

“Been using them for many years and the service has been amazing. Just want to mention something novel, whenever I've taken my vehicle in for repairs or a service to this garage or to garages attached to main dealerships I have left £2 - £3 in coins in a visible location, John Dolbear is the only garage where not a penny has gone missing, in the other two main dealership garages all or part of the money has gone missing. I don't complain about the loss or even mention it, it's something I do out of curiosity.”

“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!”

“As a young female I was also scared who to trust but this team are very professional and offer good prices on their repairs!”

“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.”

“A fast, excellent service. Quick and efficient, the scratch is now non-existent! Thanks especially to Dean, who gave a very reasonable quote and fitted my car in immediately. I would definitely use again (but, hopefully I will not have to!)”

“Just picked my car up from this place after it getting hit by a bin lorry. They’ve done an amazing job! Can’t even tell it was ever damaged, thank you so much! Fast and friendly service.”

“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.”

“Our campervan (converted ex DHL 2018 MWB Sprinter) needed some work to several parts of its body and we contacted almost 20 body shops over the South Wales area. We ended up getting ghosted by so many after they inspected it when we were chasing quotes, it was driving us insane. This was until we rang Cardiff Autospray who were in the middle of moving premises to a bigger facility in Penarth. We met Leon and he came back quickly with a detailed quote and was able to answer any queries we had with zero attitude. Leon and his team did an amazing job and is one of the few car bodyshops that can handle high roof vans. We also recently got our car repaired by them and again did a cracking job. If you're after a bodyshop who do amazing work with zero aggravation and attitude then look no further than Cardiff Autospray.”

“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.”

“I’ve been using European for a about a year now for MOT and repairs. prices always good and work always complete for a high standard.”

“Wow I'm impressed. Kal was amazing he was available throughout the day as requested. Customer service was brilliant I will definitely book with this company again. Fab car too”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can't recommend this garage highly enough! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the most adorable mascot, which instantly lifted my mood and turned a very stressful morning around. I'm incredibly grateful for the outstanding customer service I received—especially from Sarah, who was warm, professional, and genuinely caring. She made me feel like a complete priority from the start. I was updated every step of the way and made the entire process smooth and reassuring. The work was done quickly, efficiently, and to a high standard. It’s rare to find a garage that combines speed, quality, and such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Huge thanks to Sarah and the entire team (including the sweetest mascot!)—I'll definitely be back.”

“My old Saab 93 was in very poor shape. Saab Style diagnosed and fixed all problems at speed and a reasonable cost. 10 stars. I will never go anywhere else.”

“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.”
