“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.”

“Excellent work and Dimitri is a pleasure to do business with. He is very professional and a first class worker and absolute perfectionist. I would highly recommend his services and we will be using his company again”

“I had some essential work carried out on my cherished old Austin. Steve and Andrew did an excellent, sympathetic job and were lovely to deal with. I would definitely recommend them for new and classic cars.”

“I found this mechanic by a Google search. I do not really write reviews, but I felt I had to on this occasion as I found his work and manner outstanding. He went out of his way to fit us in at a convenient time for us and he completed the work in a very efficient manner. As we are new to the area we got 5 quotes, and his quote was by far the cheapest we received. I looked up the costs of the parts he used, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn he went for good quality parts, as opposed to cheap parts! He also took the initiative to fix something else, without charging anything extra... Overall, a reliable, hardworking and honest man. We will definitely use him going forward!”

“The company responded quickly to my emergency call out and carried out the emergency repairs. As promised, the required new part was purchased and installed the following day.”
