Car service in Reading

“Been using tempcover for on and off now for over a year...use the app every time never had any issues with insurance or the app...great for short term policy”

“We have used A-Plan for our business insurance for a few years now because they are excellent; personal, efficient and always provide 5* customer service. I have recently started a new policy and the whole process was very smooth. Steve Elborn is fantastic at what he does, remembers the small details and always goes above and beyond. He deserves a raise :P”

“Great to have a broker to navigate you through the finer points of insurance policies. I've used A Plan since the 80s! The place to go if you genuinely want to insure your car or business rather than pay the minimum to be 'legal'”

“What an excellent service. My granddaughter had a puncture on Friday evening and in attempting to remove the locking wheel nut it broke. With the help of her boyfriend and friends she managed to get some air into the tyre to get it home. On Saturday morning I rang Mr Clutch and the very helpful gentleman that answered the phone said he could help and for her to bring it in. She did so and they replaced the wheel nuts and tyre for a very reasonable price and she was able to pick it back up on Saturday afternoon. I was so appreciative as we were unable to help as we were away for the weekend. We previously had a new clutch fitted to my wife’s Audi by them and my father in law wouldn’t go anywhere else. Would definitely recommend.”

“Bought a 2013 Kia Picanto from TransAuto for my mum and the whole process was excellent. Car was exactly as described, with full history, MOT advisories already fixed, and only minor cosmetic issues. Great communication, smooth purchase, and their drop-off service made it easy to get the car from Reading to Chichester. Three months on, it’s running perfectly — highly recommend!”

“Had two tyres fitted today, staff very polite and helpful, queried the price and got a bit off. Free hot drinks while you wait . Can not fault bracknell branch this is my go to garage now. Thanks”

“Body repair to the front of my Mercedes was needed. First impressions when you arrive might give you doubts if this is the right place for your car to get repaired as the entrance is in need of some resurfacing. All I can say is the body repair was excellent and paint work matched as you'd expect and works carried out was outstanding. Thank you Diti”

“Such a reliable, friendly trustworthy garage. I have had my servicing completed by this garage for the last few years and I recently had a problem whereby a warning light came on my car telling me my engine had overheated. The RAC took me to Lower Early MOTs, they had my car for two days and checked everything thoroughly and didn’t find anything wrong. Not only that, they didn’t charge me a penny for this. I’m pleased to say the car has been fine ever since so it was a blip. It’s rare to find a garage that you can completely trust and I highly recommend them to anyone.”

“Amazing service, I'd recommend this garage to anyone. Nice & helpful staff & honest upfront. I was recommended this garage by a local air conditioning specialist & pleased to say no regrets! They repaired my car's air conditioning today & even better: it didn't cost as much as anticipated & the job was completed earlier than they initially said. Many thanks indeed for everything, Northcourt Garage.”

“This is the garage worth it's name! Quick, high quality and service was excellent. Two shops failed to find a fault with my lights, v speed did what it says on the tin. Found my favourite!”

“Just gave the company a call, then arranged the MOT & Interim Service in advance for June 2026 ( booked in December 2025; I like to be prepared!!). There was a bonus of a discount, and I could pay monthly or upfront! Even booked 2027 MOT & Major Service, with the monthly payments starting July 2926!! They were so helpful and friendly! Thoroughly impressed and I would highly recommend them”

“Professional, honest garage. Satisfied with my first experience, Alan took my fiesta in for a diagnostic and gave me all the relevant information I needed, explaining things well and not ripping me off at the first hurdle. No doubt I will have to return back soon if my problem persists!”

“Went to Kremer on friday afternoon with a fairly damaged front bumper due to a deer running into me. They took a look and advised a few options. Offered if I brought it back tomorrow 1st thing, they would see what they could do. Got the car back 3 hours later all straightened out. Excellent job and great price. Definitely recommend.”

“Picked my car up as scheduled on the morning of my MOT/Service (Friday). They kept me updated during the day regarding advisories (brake pad/discs). They unfortunately couldn't return my car on the same day as the MOT/Service but did however return my car promptly this morning and again kept me informed. Fortunately I didn't require my car Friday evening.”

“Very quick, friendly team and great value.....I had uncommon tyres yet they had them on the shelf.”

“Very helpful staff. Happy to take on the conversation you don't want to have to deal with when the worst happens.”

“I have never been anywhere else for my insurance needs - car, house, travel - in 30 years. The service I get at Busbys is second to none and whenever I have any issue there is always a friendly and professional person on the telephone to deal quickly and efficiently with any problem. I am more than happy to recommend Busbys to anyone.”

“Sam is very helpful and professional. He replied the call promptly with professional and brilliant service ! Keep supporting them”

“The Wokingham branch and their management and staff are excellent. Good work done at a reasonable price and I did business with them in full confidence they were trying to assist without the feeling you get in some places you’re being ripped off. I have recommended this place to others and it will be my first point of call if and when I need motoring services in the future. Well done. It makes a change these days to get this high standard of service.”

“The Forge garage is great, friendly staff who are always happy to help with a smile and they don't rip you off. Being a woman i always feel that garages will rip me off saying something needs replacing when it doesn't, but at The Forge they only do what they have to and their prices are very reasonable. I will take my car there always and they are on my doorstep which is a bonus!”

“Had to stop of en-route to Wales due to my engine warning light coming on. Grant & Steven could not have been more helpful. Got my motor in and ran diagnostics giving me a good idea as to the possible cause. They gave me notes to take back to my local garage too. TOP CLASS, great guys and a lovely 'clean' well organised, modern garage.”

“I put my fate in these guys hands and they did more than deliver! I told them what I wanted, they were honest and offered me something else. I read reviews and took the biggest punt of my life. I didn't look at the car at all. I literally ( much to my son's disgust ) I took Sagars word and a few photos, honest to god, he has not disappointed me. The only issue I've found on my mahoosive punt is the handbrake needs doing. Everything else is above board and the new baby I have works well. Thank you to you guys honestly. I've never been so happy and I took a massive risk with you but you really have made my 2025! I'm going to recommend you to everyone I know!”

“Excellent Auto Service – Highly Recommended! I recently had my car serviced at this auto shop, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I walked in, the team was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. A special shoutout to John Burduș, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was done perfectly. John took the time to explain the issues clearly and offered honest advice without pushing unnecessary repairs. His attention to detail and dedication to quality work really stood out. The repair was done quickly, and my car is running better than ever. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and efficient auto service, I highly recommend this place – and make sure to ask for John Burduș. You’ll be in great hands!”

“I had the pleasure to meet Andy, Stewart, Sam and Chris during works needed on my car. They went above and beyond and I am extremely grateful. I’d like to also mention the newly upgraded customer experience in the reception area. It looks great, however, it was sad to see that Halfords Group have missed a trick - your priority is your staff first. Therefore I’d recommend that your workshop area is upgraded first, then, your valued staff can work in a better, warmer and top end mechanical workplace, which will ensure all branches - like Sandhurst deliver a great customer experience. Well done team Sandhurst!! Regards Steve Green”

“Had an issue with my wheel and had a long 4 hour drive back to Hull. I called MAKS and they said they could look at it straight away for me. Artur checked my vehicle over and I was on my way back home in no time. Great service, would highly recommend.”

“A friend recommended them to me a few years ago, now I won’t take my car anywhere else. Great service every time.”

“Great service! Managed to squeeze in a tyre repair on a Sunday morning despite looking a bit busy! Had me back on the road within 25 mins!!! Cant thank you enough!”

“good location and new style petrol station having most things you could need”

“love this garage so much , they have great availability and easy communication and great prices”

“After being repeatedly stung in the past which left me walking like John Wayne by previous so called specialists, I was extremely relieved to find a garage I could trust and which also provided extremely reasonable pricing! Good garages do still exist. Thanks to Dave and the team!”
