“Great place for an impartial MOT and they look after the car; ie, know what to do during the brake test if the car has an LSD. Used them for years and always been very happy. Yes the price is a little more but it's set by the DVLA, not them.”

“My driver seat door wasn’t closing flush and my garage had already had a look and said it needed to go to a body shop. I hadn’t been to a body shop before so I chose Smart based on reviews. David’s communication was great and when I eventually got to see him, he was able to fix the problem just by sorting out some screws and didn’t even charge me. What a nice, honest decent chap. I can see why he has good reviews and if I ever need body repairs I’ll be going back to Smart and recommending to others”

“Great customer services! The staff are extremely helpful and they will help you to their best ability to fix your car. Booking appointments online on their website or phone is easy and walk ins is available at anytime. We walked in for puncture repair. Turns out we needed new tpms sensors and lucky they have the ones we need in stock. They all changed it on the same day. The first visit went well. Second visit, we need to get new tyres and they have affordable premium ones on their website. Great customer service again when we drop off the car and great communication when it's ready to be collected. We will be returning to HiQ Tyres & Autocare Hedge End again in future. Highly recommend A++++”

“Excellent garage, used for years! Amazing service, nothing too much trouble and always go the extra mile. Mark is particularly fantastic at customer service!”

“Excellent service! Very helpful and informative when purchasing a new bike. The advice given was especially well linked to my personal needs and requirements. Highly recommended!”

“I allways go here. Office staff very friendly,helpful and great knowledge. Is allways busy and you can see the mechanics and staff allways work well under the pressure and demands. You can trust your car will be looked after and any problems there very approachable and will solve them.”

“I was saddened to read some of the reviews which reflected an experience greatly different to my own. Firstly I had an urgent need for the air conditioning in my car to be regassed. It worked but took a long time before it started to cool but even then it wasn’t as cold as I would have liked. I booked online and got an appointment in less than 24 hours. The staff were polite and helpful and had a great sense of humour. It was completed in the specified time and I received a courtesy call to say my car was ready for collection. The following day I had to do a 200 mile drive and couldn’t believe what a difference it made. It came on virtually instantaneously and provided a far cooler car than I had previously experienced. As well as it being regassed I paid extra for a clean which did give off quite a strong smell but this was gone within a day. All in all a timely and uncomplicated service and I will certainly use them again.”

“Outstanding Service and Care – Highly Recommended! I can’t say enough good things about ICVS. They recently diagnosed and repaired an intermittent fault on my daughter’s Seat Ibiza, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. As a parent, it's always nerve-wracking when your child has car trouble, but the team here made the entire process stress-free at a particularly challenging time for us I was admitted to hospital for major surgery. ICVS were incredibly professional, and went above & beyond by dealing directly with the car dealer from whom we purchased the car who had approved us to seek a warranty repair at a garage of our choice. The turnaround time was quick, and the quality of the repair was top-notch. My daughter’s car is now running perfectly. What really stood out was the genuine care they showed—not just for the car, but for our peace of mind. It's rare to find that level of service these days. If you're looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and customer-focused garage, this is the place. I wouldn't hesitate to bring any of our vehicles here again. Thank you for going above and beyond!

“had mot good diagnostic problem solved staff polite and price fair whats not to like.”

“Picked up my car today having been repaired to perfection. Not only but also my car was cleaned and polished, inside and out. Smells so lovely, it’s a shame to have to put my dogs in to go for walks! Sam provided great customer service and I am grateful to him and his team. Would thoroughly recommend Strides.”

“Booked our my car for an MOT & Service with B&W services after recommendations from a friend and what a service I received. Dave is very friendly, knowledgable and knows his stuff. Felt in safe hands. Received a call from Dave after the MOT and ran he through a couple advisory’s and what work needed doing. Would 100% recommend taking your car to B&W services and will defiantly be booking in for our car for our services and MOTs in the future. Great garage and great work - use this small business!”

“First time using this garage and I can honestly say the staff are very knowledgeable and respectful. I would definitely be telling my friends about this garage.”

“Came down today for a small chip repair on my windscreen. Spoke to a very polite and useful man named Alex. Alex's customer service was exceptional and my car was finished within the hour. Alex also gave me directions to the nearest coffee shop so that I could wait for the car to be completed elsewhere if I wanted. I would recommend this particular location to anyone.”

“Now what I like about Wickes is you actually get served by a very member of staff who recognise customer service, not by a self service till like at B&Q where staff sit around and chat whilst you do their job for them. This is not the largest Wickes but it does what you want and you can always order in if you prefer.”
