Car maintenance station in Barnet

“Simply cannot fault! From the moment I called Steve regarding my issue, to the moment I’ve collected my car from being repaired I’ve been well kept up to date with what’s happening etc. The fix was done to an extremely amazing standard (which I’ve seen many times through reviews and pictures) Thank you all for the amazing work and the efficient amount of time it took! You’re all absolute stars! Best wishes, Tom”

“Visited this vehicle body works company on the 23rd of December. Hitesh was especially professional and helpful and made really good recommendations regarding my vehicle. Should I need body work done in the future I would certainly be coming here - their office is clean and tidy as well and in nice surroundings.”

“Brilliant! Really easy to book in, regular updates and very competitive prices. My young daughter also took her car there alone, and was made to feel comfortable. Fully explain all work before it is carried out. Now my garage of choice. Highly recommend.”

“Just perfect. Found this garage via AA Smart Service for an MOT in March. Pick-up and return of my XC90 all done within half a day and was able to do school runs. Interestingly I had a service done by a Volvo dealer just before and they claimed a fault on my car would fail the MOT - it turned out to be a nonexistent issue and the car rightly passed. I will keep these guys in mind for future work.....”

“Went in on 25.02.2025 to have a punctured tyre fixed. The gentleman informed me that a small puncture can be fixed without replacing the tyre and the two prices. Having looked at the tyre and its condition, he told me that's better to replace than fixed. I had a looked qt the tyre and agreed with him. I asked him to at my other tyre (both rear) and it was as bad as the other even though the threads looks good. It's the split along the groove and ruts that told me to have it changed. He did not pressure me to change at any one time. A frank honest man!”

“The experience with this garage was just brilliant. From the confirmation and reservation deposit for the spare the timing for order the part was very quick and straightforward they informed the customer with pics. On the appointment day they inform you about the progress with timeline pictures and old parts and new parts The most honest garage seen ever !!!”

“The best garage around. Its hard finding an honest mechanic but I've never been disappointed at K-max.”

“My BMW 640i, originally went in for a major service + engine warning light. In short the engine had serious faults, which BMERC methodically took the time to diagnose one part at a time, ie rather than change a whole bunch of parts and not solve the issue. In the end, the engine was rebuilt with most components changed. BMERC always kept me in the loop, and sourced the best parts direct from the manufacturers. My car is now like brand new, and I cannot thank Ercan and the team enough. I will always return to BMERC for their professionalism, honesty, and friendship. Thanks to the whole team.”

“Brilliant Garage. Friendly Honest and welcoming. Thanks Gents”

“Adel and his team came highly recommended, and they truly lived up to their reputation! We received quick and excellent service for our car. The work was done to a very high standard, with clear and transparent communication about the costs and process every step of the way. Adel’s professionalism and efficiency were outstanding. We’ll definitely be returning for our next MOT. Thank you for the great experience!”

“Took my Bentley Gt to them as my boot was jammed shut. These guys really know everything about Bentley's and gave me a great price! I'll be coming back for sure. Thank you”

“Updated review! Around a year ago I wrote a review for A1 pitstop, but at that point I had only been there for my MOT’s, which I still do! I wanted to review the other work I’ve had done there. A few months ago I had a very slow puncture on one of my tyres and I couldn’t figure out what was causing it, I called the garage and within 1 working day l was booked in! Mehdi and his colleague got their little head lights on and managed to find a tinnie tiny nail in a really awkward spot, they repaired it and then checked the pressure of all four of my tyres making sure they were what they should be. I have had no issues with this tyre since, and to my surprise I was only charged £25! More recently as a result of my cars service at a main dealer I was informed my front break pads and break discs were 80% worn and needed replacing, they offered to do this work for nearly £300. I said I would like to see if a place more local to me would do this sort of work instead. I called A1 pit stop the following week to ask if they did this, which they did! They texted me with a quote and had availability the following day at a time I picked. Once I arrived Mehdi and Denise wanted to check the car to see if I actually did need the work done as sometimes (not always!) main dealers say you do when you actually don’t. I really really appreciated this, it just shows what an honest garage this is. The work was all done and I was charged less than I was quoted, which was already substantially less than the main dealer. If anyone is looking for a garage for repairs or MOTs I really recommend A1 pitstop, it’s so reassuring going somewhere I can trust. Original review over a year ago: After my car reached 3 years old I had to start taking it to get its MOT. I had a look around my area and A1 pit stop stood out. It’s super close to me and had great reviews. I have now taken my car here for the past few years and I am so impressed with the service. On the most recent occasion I accidentally turned up an hour earlier than my appointment but they were more than happy to get working on my car as soon as they could. I then got a call 50 minutes later letting me know all has gone well and it is ready for pick-up. The price is very reasonable for the work they do, they let me know my tyres might need replacing soon and presented me with options and costs, also the name of the tyres I had on already (I wouldn’t have had a clue!). Denise on the front desk is kind, polite and always willing to help anyway she can. The gentlemen that does the work on the car is friendly and very good at his job. I will continue to go here for my MOT and my parents and friends have also started to go here based on my experiences.”
