Engine repair in Croydon

“Visited for a set of number plates and almost immediately after walking through the door was greeted by a very welcoming and helpful gentleman. Looking around, they clearly stock an extensive range of parts for a lot of marques, I really can't wait to return next time I need parts.”

“Very cheap honest and fast, highly recommend for the South Croydon area. Picked my car up and dropped it off and would not confirm cost price until they had inspected car, other quotes I received were just going to replace everything for £70-100 more. I will be using in future.”

“Prior to their closure, I took my cars to a trusted garage. Since that point, I had been on the hunt for another trusted garage (which I believe can be difficult at times). But thankfully I came across DRA. From making an initial enquire via email (promptly answered), receiving a quote for the work needed, receiving an update on when the work was complete to making payment and collecting my cars (2 cars have been taken here so far at different points), I would find it a struggle to go somewhere else. As of recently, they were very very understanding regarding a payment issue, which can be stressful for both sides the customer and garage, but they were understanding and not aggressive in any manner. If you're looking for a garage that is honest, reasonably priced and professional, you've found it.”

“John has always taken good care of the car and the service is second to none, always happy to go the extra mile with honesty. Can’t see myself going anywhere else although i hope not to go there too often, right?”

“The only place that was able to sort my air intake issues! After going to 4 garages (one who tried fixing by replacing some sensors and then referring me to an auto electrician that said theres nothing wrong with my electrics, and then seeing someone else who diagnosed and dissappeard and another garage that eneded up calling me saying i need to go to mercedes) I took a friend's referral to trust this garage and they have fixed my car! So happy. Beyond words on how happy I am! I can feel the difference instantly. I had a few issues and they have resolved them all. My car, after months of going back and forth to other people is fixed in 3 days by these guys!! These mechanics are highly knowledgeable, they also had reasonable approach and didn't just start charging you to fix things without them actually being the fault. Took about 3 days including waiting for parts. Also huge thanks to the receptionist Bala, he's been really helpful, responsive and reassuring.”

“Nick and his team did an amazing job bringing a 2007 Audi back to life. It’s looking brand new. Very knowledgeable about cars and a great guy too. Would highly recommend.”

“I had looked up Harrison at CRS Autos but also recommended to me by another garage. Now used twice and can't fault his knowledge and workmanship of VAG cars.”

“Came down and did my vw polo selector gear cable in no time. Helped me every step of the way very patient and really genuine guy would definitely recommend. Thanks Tash!”

“The most genuine, hardworking, friendly and honest garage you will ever come across. Myself and my parents have been going to this garage for years for all of our car services and MOT. I cannot recommend this garage enough. Thank you Daniel and Gary for all your hard work and expertise!”

“Came here for my motorcycle MOT on the strength of the Google reviews and I wasn't disappointed. I had a time slot booked and my bike was tested promptly right in front of me. Lewis provides excellent customer service and was really nice to chat to about all things bikes. I'll definitely be back next year!”

“Absolutely fantastic service from Ben. 100 percent would recommend. If you are looking for an honest, skilled and reasonably priced mechanic in the area look no further. I contacted Ben a few weeks ago with an issue I had with my parking brake. What started out as a small issue turned out to be a huge job as we discovered more and more bits that needed doing. This issue took multiple attempts to fix with different hiccups along the way but he kept at it and got it resolved. Having watched him work I can say with certainty that he is very knowledgeable and is keen to carry out the work to a perfect standard rather than rush and do the bare minimum. Throughout all my interactions with him he was pleasant and polite and acknowledged all my needs and concerns. It is genuinely difficult to find such an honest, hardworking and knowledgeable mechanic these days and from now on I will be contacting Ben with no hesitation when I need any work to be done for my car.”

“I had a great experience with RSJ Tyres. The service was fast, professional, and friendly. They offered very competitive prices and made sure everything was done to a high standard. Highly recommended – will definitely use them again!”

“I really cannot recommend Ansam enough- these guys provide a fantastic service. They're incredibly honest, helpful, friendly and incredibly transparent with all work carried out. I was advised to use them via word of mouth- which I think is how they get a lot of their work- due to their location. To me- being recommended by word of mouth is a great way to hear about a garage. I have been using them now for 6 or 7 years and the people that recommended them- for a lot longer. I think that speaks for itself. Integrity, honesty and impeccable service- they always go the extra mile- I couldn't ask for more from my local garage.”

“Andrew is a brilliant mechanic and extremely knowledgeable and generous with his time and care. Would highly recommend him!”

“Very professional, mihai knows faults precisely and expert mechanic.”

“My Passat had a amber coil flashing, engine would not start, recovery company diagnosed as Starter Motor. A family friend recommended this garage, so the one I usually use was closed till 3rd Jan ... more than 10 days. Got recovery company to take my car & within approx 4 hours, got a call that car is ready. Also IMHO, they are very honest & only charged for their labour. Thank You”

“Great service! I’ve been bringing my car here for MOTs for a couple of years now, and they’ve always been professional, honest, and efficient. What really stands out is how good they are with small-scale repairs and paintwork — they’ve helped me with a few touch-ups and minor fixes, and the quality has always been top-notch. Fair pricing, quick turnaround, and friendly staff. Highly recommended if you’re looking for reliable local service!”

“Excellent service . Done the job fast and I highly recommend this mechanic. Excellent service very honest mechanic Thank you for your service.”

“I have been a customer of Shirley Motor Spares for about two years taking all the families cars there since. From the outset their service has been outstanding. They always discuss with you what needs to be done and they don't pressure you to do more. They are very honest in their assessment of the work needed and their pricing is very competitive. They carry out the work in a timely manner and keep you informed where necessary. My latest job required liaison with a warranty company and Neil was relentless in his pursuit of a good outcome for me. He succeeded and I am very grateful. I would thoroughly recommend these guys for any car repair. Many Thanks to you all. Regards Frank”

“Simply excellent. Despite being busy, Graham slotted my vehicle in late on a Friday afternoon. Helpful, friendly, well-priced. All fixed. Very highly recommended.”

“Took my car here for the first time and wasn't disappointed. Honest, knowledgeable and upfront. Everything a garage should be. After today these guys will be my go to. Cheers fellas.”

“Using Vess from 6-7 years if I can give 6 stars I will. Top mechanic and person. Highly recommend”

“I had an outstanding experience with this garage. From start to finish, the service was impeccable—they truly listen to your concerns and take the time to explain everything in clear, simple terms. The turnaround was impressively quick, and the pricing was both fair and affordable. It’s rare to find such honesty, professionalism, and care all in one place. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!”

“Very professional, job always done properly. No issues.”

“Took my car down to Gold Motors Limited for some repairs, and I’m really impressed with the results. The team did a fantastic job getting my car back to factory condition! A huge shoutout to Jaz, who was super helpful throughout the whole process and made everything go smoothly. Great service and great people!”

“Was told, by an Audi dealer, I needed new brakes (pads and discs) which had a crazy price, went to MB Motors who advised only pads needed replacing! So impressed with their honesty and pricing. Will only take my cars here now. First class service!”

“Any time you use a new garage you're always a bit wary and this was no different - I have always stuck to what I know. However when the manufacturer issues a recall notice you have to go to an approved dealer. Kinghams were my closest. Staff were friendly on the telephone making the booking, you get confirmation by text (and a reminder) and I found them to be helpful and knowledgeable in person. During the day I received 2 videos of the work being carried out (airbag replacement) and a call to let me know when the work was completed. Overall a positive experience (and a nice shiny car on collection)”
