Auto repair in Derby

“A few days ago we had a track day at Donington Park. Unfortunately, after the lunch break we realized that our front tires, which had already been through two track days, offered virtually no grip anymore. With a heavy heart we decided to cut the track day short. Knowing that we still had two more track days to go, we opted for two new front tires. The only question was, how would we quickly find two tires in the UK? I asked Martin, an MSV-T employee, if he had any advice. He did! The tip was worth its weight in gold. He recommended we visit ALLUMY Motorsport, who fortunately had an office at the racetrack itself. So we drove to ALLUMY with our GT4RS in the hope of getting help there. You know, it's not always easy to be welcomed when you're a stranger somewhere and don't speak the language perfectly. And so you hope that someone will help you despite the adversity. What can I say? We were greeted by Marc, to whom I explained our problem in broken English. From then on, everything went smoothly. ALLUMY helped us very kindly and professionally. The tires were ordered and delivered and installed the next day. This inevitably led to petrol-related conversations among petrolheads, and we not only received valuable tips on tires but were also able to purchase various helpful tools. We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank ALLUMY! Not only for the professional help with tires, but also for the truly friendly, human welcome. If only it were like this everywhere, many things would be easier and nicer. Can we recommend ALLUMY!? More than that! If we weren't in Belgium but in the UK, ALLUMY would do all our cars from now on. Thanks guys! Thanks Marc & Team! Great job! The Isou's Freddy & Bettina ...and don't forget: if you need to participate on a Trackday in Spa Francorchamps... we organize one at the 20th of octobre 2025”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ G Tech is hands down the best garage I’ve ever dealt with. The team is incredibly friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely go above and beyond to help you. They offer everything from general servicing and repairs to performance upgrades, parts, and tuning—all completed to the highest standard and quality. I took my BMW M140i in for a Stage 2+ upgrade, and the results were amazing. The car ran smoothly and sounded incredible. Unfortunately, due to pure bad luck, a coil pack issue caused the car to act up shortly after. I reached out to G Tech, and without hesitation, they reassured me and offered to pick the car up from my house while I was at work since I live nearby. They diagnosed and fixed the issue completely free of charge. That kind of service is incredibly rare these days. You can tell they truly care about their customers and their work. Every time I go there, I know my car is in safe hands. I highly recommend G Tech to anyone looking for honest, top-quality work and exceptional customer care.”

“Absolutely fantastic service from King Street Tyres in Burton on Trent! I had the misfortune of suffering a burst tyre on a Sunday lunchtime when most places are closed or unwilling to help. I gave them a call and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Despite it being almost out of hours and not the most convenient time, they came out promptly and got me back on the road quickly and efficiently. The technician who came out was friendly, polite, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. He explained everything to me and made sure the replacement was done safely and properly. The price was very reasonable too – no inflated Sunday charges or call-out fees like you might expect from some places. It’s rare these days to find a business that genuinely cares about helping people, but King Street Tyres went out of their way to deliver top-notch customer service. I was really impressed with their professionalism, friendliness, and how easy they made what could have been a stressful situation. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future. A well-deserved 5 stars – thank you so much for your help!”

“Absolutely top-notch service! These guys have been my go-to for years, and they’ve never let me down. Always professional, polite, and incredibly knowledgeable — they keep my cars running smoothly no matter what. Today they went above and beyond, helping me out at a moment’s notice when my under tray got ripped down by one of Burton’s brutal speed bumps. Fast, friendly, and genuinely helpful every time, I highly recommend them.”

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting this garage for repairs on my coil spring, a service, and an MOT, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the moment I called them to when i walked in, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. What really stood out to me was how they treated me with respect and didn't make me feel out of place as a woman. Having dealt with a bad garage in the past, their professionalism and positive attitude were a breath of fresh air. The repairs were done efficiently, the service was thorough, and the MOT was completed without any issues. I highly recommend this garage to anyone in need of automotive services.”

“They have been my go to garage for years. I couldn't recommend them enough. They couldn't do my MOT this week due to work at their garage. I had an MOT at another garage and they failed it on a silly thing that was easily remedied. I popped to Rally They sorted the issue at no cost and called the other garage. I will if possible always use this garage as they really do look after you and help in any way they can. Honestly blown away by their service and they have the most beautiful dog who loves a fuss.”

“Have been using this business since 2016. Simply can't recommend them enough. Every single member of staff I've had any dealings with has been really impressive and helpful. Skilled, communicate well and trustworthy. 5 STARS every time.”

“Booked my car in after being cancelled by another garage, they accepted my car diagnosed the issue but then realise they're unable to fix it. They phoned me up to explain and didn't charge me for the diagnosis, also liked to note they listened to the customer (me) on how to correctly to lock the car and actually locked it. Other companies in the past have failed this step. 10/10 customer service.”

“I have always used Elite & Performance Jags to maintain and repair my cars. My XF has just come back driving like new after a service. There is always an answer to a question and they take the time to discuss options with you. I wouldn't use another mechanic, these lads are great.”

Whilst I would never expect this every time, I wanted to show my appreciation with this review and will be a returning customer with future work.”
