“It was very easy to make the appointment, had a choice to wait or leave the car while MOT/service was being performed; availability of hot drink and biscuit while waiting, friendly personnel, clear knowledge and understanding of services offering; opportunity to have any required work done immediately avoiding the need to comeback for the job to be done; video o service done provided before payment; reasonable waiting time. Over all it was a very good experience. Thank you.”

“Had my B47 in yesterday for its timing chain, where to start, I've followed ADC for a couple of years and knew from seeing their posts how good they are at what they do. But as i have now experienced their services I can honestly say, the trip from South Wales for a same day timing chain replacement was worth the 500 mile round trip. Their pricing is by far the cheapest in the UK from when I was researching and they manage to still use genuine parts and keep the cost down for customers which is credit to them. The guys in the garage are incredibly effective and efficient in what they do. My bmw hasn't run this well and smoothly in years and as its almost on 200k it feels like it did when I first got it, they even noticed another issue while dealing with the chain which I didn't know and sorted it for me without issue. If your considering using ADC for work just book in you won't be disappointed they know these cars Inside out and what they dont know isnt worth knowing. Anything major in the future my car will absolutely be coming here for the work to be done. Thanks guys for sorting the chain and exhaust out. 5**”

“These guys were great. They point out all the faults in your vehicle even the smallest ones even a bolt or a missing screw. You go away knowing everything. No doubt in the back of your mind. I wish I could use them more often. They are a relief from all those corner '5 star' mechanics who miss out very very basic information. They don't mess about and are wonderful people. Professionals to the T and want people to keep driving German cars.”

“I watched YouTube videos on the SPR Autos channel. I was very impressed with Sam and the team’s workmanship and attention to detail after watching the videos. Got myself booked in to have 2 x control arms, 1 x tension thrust arm, 1 x voltage regulator changed on my c63. Sam has done a great job, the car feels and drives better than ever before. I may not be a frequent customer due to the long distance but I will definitely be a customer, whether it’s buying parts or coming down every now and again for jobs on the car. Got a nice little smart car as a courtesy car free of charge when mine was in for repairs - to drive that was an experience on it’s own (a pleasant one).”

“Mark at mossley car care has been amazing ! I was having problems with my car ( not bought at their garage ) I needed my car to be recovered and inspected due to me breaking down at work. It was no trouble for them whatsoever and went above and beyond they recovered my car very quickly, kept in touch fully throughout, updating me every opportunity. I can’t thank them enough they’ve been extremely helpful in bad situation and very trust worthy. I will definitely be retuning as a customer. 10000% recommend!”

“I rang Stuart for some advice on an issue with my clutch squeeling he quickly diagnosed the issue and picked my car up the day after from my house as I was unable to come away from work to take the car to him and dropped it back off the day after good as new , he was also very accommodating and respectful of my insurance Blackbox in my car . He kept me updated and even notified me of the exact issue with my old clutch and also some other small issue that required attention on my car and how and where I can source parts. I completely recommend Stuart at speedy clutch he did a great job on my Peugeot 107 will definitely use again in the future.”

“First class professional service and more importantly - don’t rip females off!! Paul is trustworthy & friendly, answered all my questions in a polite manner and clearly very experienced. I was recommended by a friend and I was not disappointed whatsoever! Good honest pricing too with clear explanations - Highly recommend!”

“I Recently had a gearbox repair and a new egr valve at this garage. The gearbox was great with car running better than ever however the yellow engine check light was still playing up showing egr valve so returned it once or twice. This is where I really found out what a brilliant garage this is. They are really nice honest people and the customer sevice is the best I have experienced. Aparently there was a blockage furher into the manifold that couldnt have been picked up earlier and the guy has sorted it now at no extra cost and shown me a photo on his phone of the blockage in the pipes that was taken while he was working on the car .They even offered to pay for ubers for me which I didnt actually need. I doubt I will go anywhere else in future as they cant do enough for you.”

“Went to Andy with the headache of my exhaust falling off and the car sounding like it was ready for F1, Andy had it sorted and back in the road within a day and for an extremely reasonable price. Great guy couldn’t recommend him more”

“Tim did a fantastic job upgrading my classic Porsche 911 speakers behind the grilles so the interior still looks standard but the sound quality and range of treble and bass is a huge improvement from the standard ones that just made noise and became unbearable on a long journeys.

I took my car in today, they inspected and fixed the issue for a great price. All the staff are really helpful and the place seems very well organised (I had my car back within an hour or so). Front of house office was a nice, clean, tidy welcoming place to be, and again, staff very helpful, welcoming and informative. Definitely found my new garage for servicing, MOT and repairs. Thanks guys, really appreciate it!”

“I've had a great experience using this garage to repair a broken sunroof on my Mini. They investigated the problem, and presented two different quotes depending on what might be needed once dismantled. Great communication at all times and they were even able to repair at a lower price than was quoted (and much, much lower than the BMW-Mini Dealers!). Overall impression of honesty and professionalism. Very friendly and reassuring service. Thanks to everyone.”
