from 208 reviews on GoogleReally friendly and helpful employees. Owner, Jim, came down to chat to me and took time to show me parts being fitted and gave me some office space to work from while I waited. Techs were knowledgable and friendly. Really impressed, won't be going back to main dealer again.
Brought my car into SJB Autotech as it was intermittently leaking coolant from the expansion tank, and work done by a previous garage didn't completely solve the problem. Called up and SJB had availability the next day which was great. Jamie was really thorough in his diagnosis and kept me up to date via phone. I like the fact he actually took the time to explain what the problem was rather than just which part has failed and how much it'd cost to fix. Ultimately the heater matrix turned out to be blocked (a common issue on Mk7 Golfs!). So a heater matrix replacement, an acid flush to remove all of the corrosion and junk as well as new coolant was required to fix. So not the cheapest job ever but this kind of thing is apparently quite a big job and can be a bit of a pain to do, so I wasn't too worried about that. So far the car hasn't lost any more coolant after about a month or so which is great! (And the heater now works which is a bonus) Jamie also noticed that the thermostat was sticking open so he sorted that as well. I appreciate he took the time to sort that out as it would have been easiest to just do the heater matrix and hand the car back, and I would have been none the wiser really. In summary, I think there are cheaper garages out there but I was impressed by the attention to detail and I get the feeling that they know their stuff regarding VW group cars. Would come back for future servicing. Thanks guys!
I've been a customer at SJB for five years and always found them to be very helpful, most professional and easy to deal with. Recently I had what looked like being a big and expensive fault. They took the car in and located the cause, fixed it and in spite of must having to spend a couple of hours working on it there was NO charge! What fantastic customer service. I cannot praise them enough. I thoroughly recommend SJB.
Booked my A3 e-tron to have 40k miles service carried out. Called on the Monday and they had availability for the same week. Great service, professional and informative with what needed to be done. Happy to recommend and will return for any additional work.
Second to none service with this company from the first phone call to completion of the work. I’ve used several garages before but never seem to get it right. Every time I’ve used SJB I always get the right advise and always fixed first time. Jamie/Scott fantastic and don’t forget the two lovely ladies on the front desk. Always helpful. Will always recommend and would never take my car anywhere else. Thank you 5*
