“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 previously needed an accountant on short notice. TaxAssist Accountants Newbury, done a great job of scheduling my initial meeting with Paul within the same week, their reception staff were so understanding and accommodating. Paul Greenan, showed a very good understanding of my newly opened company and was very courteous accurate with the info he gave me in our initial meeting. He quickly tailored a service package to suit the need of my company / case at a reasonable price. As it happened, soon after my circumstances changed and my company would be effectively "dormant", Paul was very helpful to tailor a new service package at a very much reduced cost, which i found extremely thoughtful and helpful. When I had to dissolve my company, Paul continued to offer assistance at no charge. Very highly recommend TaxAssist and Paul as an accountant”

“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.”

“Basically repaired a car which no one in UK (literally) was able to fix. Full tiptronic gearbox rebuild, full engine service, new lifters, faulty abs tcl and unrepairable AYC is faultless and few more things more or less complex. Everything reasonable priced. Top service if in doubt or let down by others I highly recommend Sonning Hill Motors as they will not only repair your car but will go extra mile which no one will do.”

“Beautiful cafe, food and owners. I was driving back to North Wales after visiting friends in Camberley and Deepcut. My brakes suddenly failed. Thankfully I managed to pull into a housing estate and parked. I had no idea where or if there was a garage I asked several people but most ignored me. I could not get a signal on my phone. I was soaking wet from walking around trying to get signal. I was also very cold and very tired. There were no hotels and it was getting dark. I found this lovely cafe further up the road. It was closing time but the very kind owners told me to go in and get warm and dry, they also made great coffee and cooked food for me. Their kindness was overwhelming after the scary and horrible experience I had when the car suddenly went out of control and the brakes failed due to an ABS problem. A teenage girl told me where to get help and gave me directions. Very grateful to her too”

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

“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.”

“Took my Gen 2 S1000RR here for a squeaky front wheel, which happened to be the front disk had bent. So I required some new discs,pads and pistons.

“Had a leak in the roof. Called out an emergency plumber and they were there within an hour. Polite, professional and friendly. Explained the problem and how it had been fixed. Intend to use them again to fit a new radiator, Trust worthy.”

“Once again fitted in my car at short notice, great customer service very professional really nice staff do their upmost to help. Thoroughly recommend.”

“Excellent work. Steve carried out a great job on my BMW 430D. Was being told by another garage it was going to cost over £2400 to repair I got an second opinion by Steve who was honest and saved me a lot of money to repair my car. Great service and most importantly of all was his honesty.”

“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!”
