from 438 reviews on GoogleReally positive experience with this garage from start to finish. I was involved in a minor collision on 26th September. Phil assessed the damage and gave me a quote within an hour. It took my insurance a week to finalise. I dropped my car off on Monday the 2nd and it was ready by Friday 6th. Communication was great throughout and I’m delighted with the work carried out. I would definitely recommend their services.
As usual absolutely first class advice and service from the German Motor Company. I’ve been bringing cars here for a good 4/5 years since discovering the competition did not care as much about their customers. I cannot fault them for general maintenance or trickier jobs: they are thorough, reliable, and I generally get a very honest appraisal of what actually needs doing, before parting with any cash; you get to talk to someone who knows how the car works, and can explain it to a layman (over the phone, or in person). They’re busy, but for good reason. Everything I’ve had fixed on my 16-year old car (air con; passenger side air distributor; turbo intercooler pipe) has stayed fixed after they’ve dealt with it. I’ve also had sound advice on MOT advisories. They are generally good at managing expectations on costs. The only area for improvement I’d say is if they would initiate the offer to take customers through the bigger estimates, to explain what is critical for good maintenance vs. what is simply nice to have. Recommended.
Incredibly efficient, thorough, friendly, and good value for money. I have a Mini Clubman and there was a warning light about the brake pads, and after finding the Mini main dealers very pricy, I did a quick google search and found this place. After a quick call to book it in, I arrived yesterday and had a great experience from the first minute. I arrived at the same time as three other drivers and the two people working at the front of the garage helped us navigate this car-parking Tetris seamlessly. Then straight through to reception to confirm the plan (replace brake pads and check tyres), left my keys and contact details and headed off. Got an email and a follow up text message within a couple of hours with a report and a quote. A quick call to give the go ahead, and then a further text message two hours after that to say the car was ready to pick up. A gentleman even offered to reverse the car out onto the road for me. It's next level customer service like this that ensures that I will return. Thank you to everyone who helped me and worked on my car yesterday.
Very happy once again with my yearly service. Good price, great work, they even flagged up a few important things I wasn't expecting. Thanks and will use them next year (y)
Jan 2024 -Booked in my BMW X1 for a replacement of very worn rear discs and pads -( at circa 23,000 miles - seems the discs wear quickly on the X1! ) the work was quickly and efficiently carried out for less than BMW had quoted . The German Motor Co is very well organised and pleasant people to deal with. They have excellent communications and do not carry out any additional work without customer authorisation . This was my second service / repair and I will certainly use them again - much more convenient than 'local' BMW agents and better on price. Highly recommended.
