“I was having trouble with my laptop running at the speed of dark back in the spring. Someone reccommended Kieran, Local Computer Repairs and so I gave him a call. Kieran collected my laptop and took it away for analysis. A faulty hard drive was diagnosed and quoted for. Happy with the quote, I asked for a new hard drive to be fitted and it was delivered back to me a few days later working perfectly. A good all round service and I'm happy to reccommend. Les”

“100% highly recommend! Great service from the owner. He knows his stuff. Felt completely confident in him as a mechanic. Want a mechanic you can trust! Call Steve and his team at SG services.”

“We took our VW polo in with a dented door, paint transfer, and cracks on the door and 1/4 panel. Colin and his team restored the car to an amazing standard with finesse and expertise. They also buffed and valeted our car such that it looks better now than it did before the car had gotten into the scrape! All of this great work and service was for a really good price too. The turnaround time was really quick and Colin was very communicative and helpful throughout the entire process. We can’t thank you enough, you’ve done a great job.”

“Cannot fault our heating engineer we had today. Our decades old boiler (circa 1970s) had no signs of life. Inside of an hour he managed to have the whole thing apart, totally cleaned out years of debris (previous owners didn't service probably ever) and managed to identify the issue which he resolved without replacement parts, just a load of clearing out. All the debris that came out was quickly vacuumed up as he worked, one less job for me to do today. Boiler is now ready for winter and we're happy that it doesn't need replacing just yet. Top marks!”

“Fantastic place serving authentic Mexican food! The owner is full of energy and gave us such a warm welcome. You could really tell he was passionate about the dishes and excited to share his knowledge. He gave us lots of recommendations, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely one of my new favourite places in Southampton — I’ll absolutely be coming back. Thank you for the amazing experience!”

“I had my first accident involving hitting another vehicle after 44 years of driving, even worse it was my fault & I only had my new car for 6 days. My insurance company selected Steer Southampton as my approved repairer. Communication was great with Steer Southampton, providing a link to upload pictures of my damaged vehicle. They then quickly contacted me to arrange collection of my car. I had my accident on a Tuesday & my car was picked up & was delivered to Steer on Thursday morning. I was quickly contacted by the estimation department who went through the damage & what required replacing liaising with my insurance company. I was surprised by the quickness my car would be repaired. I received regular TXT messages to update me on the progress. The car was ready mechanically on the estimated completion date, there was however a slight delay as my car required a specialist reset of the safety systems, but this was organised quickly. I was happy with the quality of the repair work. I would highly recommend Steer Southampton if you require your car to be repaired to a high standard”

“Identified and carried out all work required and apprised me of any issues. Great service”

“I really wouldn't want to buy a used Mercedes unless I had a company like MBS near by. They have been brilliant in helping with warranty work and steering me through the maze of Mercedes Service Measures. They have saved me a bill of over £3000 by giving me the info I needed to negotiate with the Mercedes maindealer. All the work they have done for me has been brilliant. Gear box service and freebies like sorting out a misaligned bonnet cable that was fouling the ac fan for free. From reception to phone calls from expert mechanics to further advice, MBS will be on your side. These are people who you really need in your life if you own a Mercedes Benz!”

“The garage owner kindly helped me out with my car with very short notice when it was making a sudden loud, screeching noise whilst driving. With his experience, he was able to identify the problem immediately, fixed it in minutes and didn’t charge me for his time. Amazing service and I would highly recommend!”

“Nice persian restaurant in the city centre. The owner and the staff greeted us very warmly and the persian Kebabs and food were delicious. They also offered us persian tea on the house.”

“Food always hot and good delivery times, friendly drivers and staff”

“Food is amazing here! Definitely get your moneys worth, the Thai spicy sauce with noodles is the best! And the staff are amazing, really friendly and great service!”

“Really enjoyed our breakfast at Bill's. Their big breakfast isn't as big, but was definitely delicious and hence I was able to completely polish it off. They even changed the egg to match my preference. The bacon, baked beans, eggs, mushrooms, and sausages were cooked to perfection. The black pudding however was not my favourite. Their jam and toast martini with vodka was one of my favourite things all day. Definitely try this if you visit.”

“Lovely food and atmosphere. The newly refurbished restaurant and additional seating area is a big improvement. Our server was Phoebe she was vey efficient and great service. As ever highly recommend”

“Very professional service, very quick service needed it for the mot,very professional advice,it worked out cheaper than if I had claimed on insurance ,even if you have windscreen cover on your insurance ,it counts as a claim ,so your insurance will go up .so you end up paying more than if you go direct to ,Steve at Southampton windscreens .I called 7 companies and Southampton windscreens was a lot cheaper than all the others .I never leave reviews ,but I can't recommend enough.you won't find cheaper anywhere else”

“Sitting in conservatory, was very comfortable. We just had cappuccino and cake then later pot of tea and chocolate tiffin. It was very nice. Staff were excellent, carrying a tray of tea/cake for me and clearing table when needed.”

“Wow i ordered 1 time from you. I love kebabs i was eating everywell, but here is very good fresh meat (not from the oil pot) and fresh salats . Loovely. I will take it more times”

“Slightly biased as have been coming here since the early 80s, and although we miss the old style pub, it could have ended up much worse than it is design wise. Food quality is back on an even keel and is consistently of good quality and presentation this taking away that level of apprehension you feel when you go to so many restaurants these days. Shout out to the young ladies and men of the service team who provide a very professional level of service in a pub / restaurant which I know for a fact can suffer from some challenging customers at times...”

“Food was really nice.. Staff were very friendly and professional. Good choice of different foods too. A little expensive on some of the steak meals, but they are speciality meats..”

“The host greeted us by assisting with the door as we approached. Very friendly, showed us to our table and let us pick where we'd be most comfortable. Assisted with removing the chair so I could sit in my wheelchair. Got us started with water and nachos, then sent our server over to take our order. Service was great, very efficient. Server ensured we had exactly the food we wanted. Cleared empty plates in a timely manner. Overall great service”

“We had such a lovely experience at The Real Greek in Southampton, and a big part of that was thanks to Kasia. From the moment we arrived, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. She checked on us at just the right moments and made us feel genuinely looked after throughout our visit. We ordered the seafood platter, which was delicious, and Kasia made sure everything was perfect. Her friendly attitude, professionalism, and natural charm really elevated the whole meal. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!”

“Very honest garage. Car tyres didnt need changing, so they refunded me. I will always use them after this.”

“Just had a great Sunday lunch cooked by Chef Luke. Friendly service from Sam. Roast lamb was great and my wife had a half a roast chicken which she failed to finish - just due to the volume - and to ensure she could fit in some dessert. Cracking crumble and excellent bread and butter pudding with homemade vanilla custard. Great way to end a weekend away. Hoping to book the place for a birthday party next year...”

“Got some Karaage Chicken and a Volcanic Cheesy Chicken breast. Cooked fresh in front of you, with a range of seasonings to choose from. Very tasty, the garage chicken was tender with a beautiful crispy coating, and the cheesy chicken was incredible too. Waited about 10 minutes to get my order, looking at the very nice fish tank. Great place to get some decent fried chicken.”
