The 30 Best Automotive store in Southampton

“Excellent service Dave couldn’t of been any better 5 stars all round thanks again”

“Not a smooth installation, through no fault of Cobra Trim, but they still pulled out all the stops and completed the installation on time. Really happy with the work, friendly and knowledgeable owners.”

“Took my Maserati Granturismo S to Matt and Ash at SportsItalia and am so so glad that I did... I consider myself lucky to have a gem like this on my doorstep! I can't recommend them enough - they're super knowledgeable and really passionate about Italian sports cars - I won't be trusting my car to anyone else. I paid for a full inspection and am impressed by the level of detail that they went into, and yet I never felt like they were trying to sell the work to me. Labour rates are very reasonable indeed and they can get great deals on parts, so although I ended up spending a fair bit with them I felt that I got great value for money. A garage for car nuts, run by car nuts... Just try not to leave any dribble on the workshop floor as you look at the exotic machines that they're working on!”

“Great service, Kieran is a really great guy and really knows his stuff. Booked my matte finish Ioniq 5 for a ceramic coating which went on brilliantly and looks fantastic. Was worried slightly as lots of detailer were shying away from treating matte paintwork, but Kieran assured me with his experience that he had the right product. When I picked the car up, it looked absolutely amazing and I was delighted with the outcome. However, when I got it home, I noticed an imperfection on one of the panels. I informed Kieran who responded right away. He acknowledged the imperfection and booked me in for a touch up, offering a free valet as an extra bonus. I now have the finished car back and I'm sure you'll agree it looks stunning.”

“Woke up on Sunday morning with a completely flat tyre. After searching around for mobile tyre companies I contacted Elite Mobile Servicing on Sunday evening. I got a response straight away and they sent someone the next morning. Unfortunately the tyre was unrepairable so I booked a new tyre and they came first thing the next day. Excellent communications and service. Worked around my availability, and I would definitely recommend.”

“Cannot recommend this garage enough! We've taken both our cars there multiple times and been really impressed with the service and honest approach of the staff. Some work I thought needed doing they've advised is not a concern and to save some money, other work they've completed quickly, effectively and for decent prices. I popped my car in today for a quick diagnosis but ended up needing to collect it sooner than expected for an appointment so said not to worry. Instead, they looked at the car straight away, diagnosed and fixed the problem and gave me the car back in 20mins. This level of service obviously isn't always possible or necessary but was hugely appreciated today! We'll definitely be taking our cars back again for advice, services and repairs!”

“There is a very good reason why this business has an excellent rating they offer great service, very fair prices and have an air-conditioned waiting room ! If the phones are busy you know why.”

“I recently had one of my alloy wheels refurbished, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The quality of the work is outstanding—the wheel looks brand new, with an incredible shine and flawless finish. The team did an exceptional job restoring it to perfection, and they paid attention to every detail. This repair saved me from buying a new wheel, and the cost was extremely reasonable for such high-quality work. Highly recommended to anyone looking to bring their wheels back to life!”

“This is like no other shop. Yes you get great products at a really great price . . . but you also get "Martin". A shop owner who knows his products and cares about his customers. You can trust him for honest advise and he will always advise the best for you, and not for his own profit. Been trusting Martin for years and will trust him for many more years to come. My whole family only ever use him for all their car servicing parts now. Good old fashioned honest service. Please note, cash only. That's how he keeps those prices so low.”

“Callum is absolutely amazing credit to the company. What a lovely genuine gentleman you don’t make them like that no more. Nothing too much trouble. They are always willing to help one of the best place in Southampton. Highly recommend I’ve been going to my Garage all my life not no more these are my go to thnx Callum ur top lad And very knowledgeable”

“The true 4th emergency service. These guys are amazing. Fast, efficient, and unerringly polite and helpful - even at 2am. Yesterday they had me from blow-out puncture in the middle of the forest to back-on-the-road inside 90 minutes. Last time I waited for the RAC I was still waiting at the 4-hour mark… Thank you!”

“Always friendly, helpful and professional. Scott goes out of his way to ensure a quick and reliable service and I will definitely be returning!”

“Used Best Autos for a number of years now, mainly for MOT and Service, but they've also completed repairs. Never had a problem and feel like they give the right advice without being pushy. Always happy to explain what problems have been noted and provide quotes for the work if needed later down the line.”

“Professional, excellent service. Matthew's attention to detail on the refurbishment of my four wheels was second to none. I would not hesitate to recommend and use again.”

“Great friendly service here. In and out for a puncture repair first thing today. No fuss. Way better than the big tyre places. Support your local tyre shop !”

“Really great service from P and B. Had four new tyres, full service and MOT on my Mercedes. All done very quickly and at a fair price. They were also very helpful on the phone with another problem I had. I highly recommend P & B.”

“Recently had a new display unit fitted with apple car play, reverse camera and rear parking sensors. True professional work, would highly recommend anyone get work done here. Thanks”

“Five Stars! Highly Recommend! I had an absolutely fantastic experience with this garage. They were incredibly efficient and got my car fixed so fast. I didn't have to wait around at all, which was a huge time-saver. Not only was the service quick, but the price was also very cheap and affordable—excellent value for the quality of work. They truly went the extra mile by even helping me figure out where to find a replacement for my mudguard. Genuinely helpful, fast, and great value. This is now my go-to repair shop!”

“Fantastic experience here thanks to Stuart and his team. Very knowledgable guys who go above and beyond for their customers. They diagnosed a fault with the brake assist on my A-Class and resolved it within minutes. Safe to say I will definitely be returning. Huge thanks to Stuart at the team.”

“Just pop in for MOT for the first time in this garage. Excellent experience man at the till sounds very knowledgeable. Give me a tip which usually others will keep for themselves to get u to pay for it. Thx guys for great job.”

“I purchased some refurbished ford alloys from Florin today and I'm so pleased with them. Florin is a great guy and very helpful”

“Managed to have a look at an issue I was having just before closing on a Friday! Dean and Lee sorted me right out and ultimately saved me time, money and my wellbeing. Big thank you to you both”

“Chris and Julie have looked after my cars for years. Honest experiened advice at a great price from a superb village garage. If you need work doing you are always consulted first with all the options and there are never any hidden costs on your bill.”

“E&J Jarvis have looked after all our cars for the last 10 years or so. We started using them based on recommendations from colleagues and we are pleased we did. Their service is excellent, whether it's a big job, or a small job. We find them honest, reliable and efficient. We've recently bought an additional car, directly from them. An easy, pleasant experience and a fairly priced car. Thanks Chris, Ian and team.”

“Very good stuff and very helpful and finding the right parts from themes I was struggling for my Volkswagen polo starter motor never had any wear only found it Dorset auto parts Thank you guys for your help”
