“This was an absolute life saver. We didn’t want to buy a roof box, as only needed it for the one trip. I found Eon’s business online and it was perfect. Really friendly and easy to book, for a very reasonable price for a 2 week trip. The roof box was fantastic and we were even provided with a larger size, very helpful given we were travelling to France for our wedding with lots of stuff. I will certainly use again and maybe even try the tent box next time!”

“My car was taken to BGS after a non fault accident. I was kept informed of the progress and once repaired it was delivered back to me. There was one area of the repair that I wasn’t happy with and after a quick phone call I was asked to return the car at my convenience and they would look at it. It was fixed while I waited. Both the office staff and the mechanic made me feel like it was no trouble and couldn’t have been more welcoming. I would have no hesitation recommending them”

While the price is on the higher end, the level of service and quality you receive more than justifies it. Highly recommend these guys!”

“I had someone run into the back of my car recently. They admitted fault & asked me to get a repair estimate. After visiting 2 body repair shops, I Googled bumper repair & Auto Touches came up. After speaking to Nigel, I felt assured he was the man for the job. What an understatement! Nigel came on the arranged date & time, carried out a repair and respray with such professionalism, on a car with white pearlescent paint to a standard the manufacture would have been proud of. After he had finished, the area was cleared of any signs he'd ever been there. All this dedication to an art that is awesome to behold and at a price that will put a big smile on in anyone's wallet. I can't recommend this company enough. Thank you Nigel :)”

“I have really bad trust issues with garages these days more so than most. I’ve just started using these guys to work on a few of my cars and cannot recommend them enough. I gave my e61 to them to fit a couple of drive shafts that I had supplied, the job was more difficult than first anticipated due to the driveshafts being stuck in there, the price did not deviate at all from the quote. Most importantly though, they had forgotten to re attach one of the hight sensors for the rear air suspension. I noticed this upon collection and without hesitation they got it straight on the ramp and sorted the issue. We are all human and we call forget things and it’s especially easy to forget the dozens of needless sensors fitted to modern day cars. The key take away here is that the blame wasn’t put on me as a customer and they held their hands up to the issue, this is an attribute that I feel is EXTREMELY rare these days and almost unheard of even at main dealer level, and for that reason alone I hope to give them much more work and you should consider doing so too if you’re reading this review deciding which garage to take your car too. Honesty and integrity is everything. And these guys certainly have that in abundance.”

“The company is a genius, they gave me fantastic advice, and performed a fantastic job for 10% off the price of all other quotes. --- UPDATE-- I would recommend these guys for whatever services they offer, upon quotation, I accepted immediately and they told me I was a fool not to get competitive quotes, in all honestly, I didn't have time, and as it turns out these guys performed a perfect job. Look at the photos, they do not do it justice.”

“Booked my X5 in for an MOT at rather short notice, but Ivo was able to squeeze me in and get me sorted out with out any fuss. Fast friendly service, and I would recommend you give Divo Autos a go !! Thanks.”

“Always friendly and efficient, good value for money. Never try to pressure you into getting unnecessary work done. If they can't do it then they know someone who can.”

“I recently had my car repaired at Fix Auto Sandhurst following a non-fault accident, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received. The entire team was extremely professional, and the quality of the repair work was outstanding — my car was restored to a very high standard. A special thank you to James, the manager, for overseeing such a smooth and thorough repair process, and to Penny at reception, whose support and communication throughout were exceptional. They both made a complicated situation so much easier to handle. Highly recommended for anyone needing reliable and high-quality vehicle repairs!”
