The 30 Best Local repair services in Reading

“So happy to find this place when looking for an independant to replace the timing belt and service my Peugeot 308 1.2 PureTech. There are lots of horror stories of trashed engines due to this "wet belt" and the main dealer had offered only confusing and scary info, with pricing to match. PTS Developments are a breath of fresh air, they had huge experience and new exactly what was entailed. They gave a straight forward quote for doing the job to current specs, and at a sensible price. The job was completed perfectly by Marc, he is passionate about cars and clearly knows his stuff while Lynn looks after the admin and phones. All done with a friendly professionalism, a pleasure to do business, many thanks.”

I would definitely recommend, and will be booking back in for this year's service.”

“I was so lucky to have been recommended C&V by my kitchen fitter who also has a Vauxhall after another garage has supposedly fixed my water leak but hadn’t and I wasn’t happy about returning. Andy was a pleasure to deal with and also let me a courtesy car at the last minute. They fixed my leak but over the weekend it developed another leak, first thing Monday Andy invite me back that day, another courtesy car and found I had a faulty cap, quickly replaced that at no further cost and no problems since. Excellent service all round. I shall continue to use C&V with confidence.”

“Luke and his wife were Absolutely brilliant! So friendly and honest, he didn’t take advantage of our issue like I’m sure Range Rover would have! Will use him every time going forward, he knows his stuff about the range rovers and is very passionate! We have travelled from past Andover so for us to use them shows how pleased we were with them. Thank you Luke &wife (sorry can’t remember your name) thank you again!!”

“5 ⭐️ Highly recommend this company! They have made my car look brand new again. Staff are super friendly and very helpfull. Thanks again!”

“Tom Lenthall and his great team (shout out to Adam) have saved my (car's) bacon on several occasions. Always helpful and conscious of the cost of car maintenance I trust them completely. Standard servicing is good value and they also offer sensible tuning options. Their collective expertise is evident as whenever we take either our Land Rover or Jaguar in with issues they usually have identified the problem before even looking at the car. It's always nice to see the restorarion projects when visiting too.”

“Pangbourne Garage are one of the best in the business! Not only are they brilliant mechanics but they are are incredibly nice guys. They have helped my family countless times at short notice when we have experienced motoring issues-staying open later one Saturday when our car needed to be towed there. Highly recommended. Will.”

“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 :)”

“Tiel was really helpful and friendly, made good decisions and offered us sound advice. Our heating was broken. We'd already done some investigation and partly fixed it, and he listened and validated that. He explained options for further work and didn't oversell things that we didn't really need. He was quick to do more investigation and de-sludging, and very reasonable in what he charged. And he also came a day early. All in all a great experience.”

“Paul provided us a first class, professional service in replacing the leather on our 20 year old sofa seat cushions. He came to our home to assess and match the colour and grain, provided us with a fixed price and a 2 week timescale. True to his word he delivered the completed cushion cases back after 2 weeks, the result is fabulous, our sofas look brand new. A lovely man to deal with, very knowledgeable and his guidance was much appreciated. Paul has our highest recommendation.”

“Absolutely great to get the car back in a condition better than I’ve ever seen it. This was not a straight forward repair but every detail was carried out with the utmost care. There’s just no reason to take your car anywhere else”

“Well, it would be difficult to organise a worse day weather wise. Adam arrived on time as promised and set about the task of returning both our cars to the condition they were meant to be in. Soon after commencing the God of bank holiday weather decided that he should join in. Undeterred, Adam’s gazebos went up, prep work got underway, masking put in place and Adam went between both cars working his magic. End result, a very happy customer. Both cars returned to the way they should be in a cost effective and efficient manner. Keep up the great work Adam.”

“Fantasic garage. My Golf R needed major work and Alex at Storm did a great job getting it back on the road, he also put in a lot of effort to keep the costs under control and keep me informed, which I really appreciate. Very knowledgeable and trustworthy. I highly recommend Storm.”

“We are delighted with our air con unit and the excellent service we received from the whole team at ProtoCool. The installation engineer, Harrison, was a pleasure to have in our home - he was extremely polite, friendly and worked very quietly and tidily. We would definitely recommend Protocool. Thank you!”

“Darren at Mulgari has amazing expertise and experience. I wanted the biggest front brakes I could get into my remapped TTS as I race it on track days and have warped 2 sets of front discs before, due to overheating them. With Darren's help, I researched and sourced a set-up usually used as an ultimate upgrade for a TTRS. Darren fitted the kit to my TTS and did an amazing metalwork re-shaping job with the existing backplates so they, not only fit the bigger discs perfectly, but they also have an extra opening so my brake cooling ducts point right at the discs. The job Darren has done is remarkable. And with his race driving experience he helps prioritise the modification work to the car that produces the most cost effective gains for track day racing. I can only add that I recommend the expertise and work quality of Mulgari above all other places.”

“Excellent service, car in for MOT, Staff found and rectified two faults, one of which had not been spotted by previous MOT provider and main dealer. Great work thank you!”

“One the best out there. Been a customer for many years and Mr Singh and his crew have always delivered. This is a very good honest garage, in a world where there are many that are not!”

“Good local business, not many MG specialists around these days (MG Rover that is) always helpful trusted them with my car for years”
