The 30 Best Local repair services in Reading

“I had previously taken my car into a repair shop to address a problem with rust appearing adjacent the rear wheel arch. It was "repaired" and about 6 weeks later blisters appeared. It was returned and re-repaired (I was told they had not treated a wide enough area) and about 6 weeks later even more blistering appeared. I arranged for Jay to examine and quote for the necessary remedial work. He was able to instantly explain that the problem was caused by the fact that the panelling was double walled where it was rusting and the repairs had not been successful because the metal was rusting through from the back and needed to be cut out and replaced, the void filled with a rust proofing treatment and the new section resprayed. When I collected the car, I was shown photographs to illustrate the problem and the remedial work that had been carried out. Not only that, I was given the section of the panel that had been removed and it was very obviously rusting through from the back and that was why the original work was a total waste of time and my money. Jay advised that he had also sprayed Waxoyl in the wheel arch cavity on the other side of the vehicle to help prevent any similar problem developing. I was impressed with the detailed explanation given why the work was required and how it was to be carried out, the photograph evidence provided to show what had actually been done and the fact that the rusted cut out part was kept for inspection. The paint finish was to a very high standard. I feel Jay is very knowledgeable, committed to carrying out work to a very high standard at a reasonable price and is also a very pleasant person to deal with. I feel confident to recommend Jays Autobody Repairs.”

“Reading Drive in was really amazing. I called them and despite them being fully booked they were able to fit me in at literally a minute notice and quickly within a few minutes diagnose what was wrong with my car. I had been to another garage and they were unable to diagnose what was wrong with my car. He was able to diagnose what was wrong with my car as soon as he looked at the engine and did the electrical diagnostics. He was able to replace a cylinder and spark plugs immediately for my Peugeot 107. And all of it was done and dusted within an hour. Thank you so much I’m indebted to him and his colleague”

Wesley soon came back with a reasonable price to supply & fit and did the work 2 weeks later. He did a sterling job, completed it in 1 day and took it upon himself to replace the u-bend traps with those being easier to remove if need be. At the end of the day he went through all what he did and explained the workings of the new suite. One thing we were impressed by, even before the work started, was his positivity, professional attitude, his helpfulness and communication. We will certainly call on him again and would advise anyone needing a plumber not to hesitate in giving him a call...he really is so helpful as well as being a great guy to deal with!”
