Ashburnham Road Garage

A great local garage, always helpful when my older MG, 1997 needs some work on her. Staff very knowledgeable, great customer service and take pride in their work.

The r a c advised me that to get my car checked out as I had a coolant leak, so I booked it in with ashburnham road garage and they told me it was the oil cooler that was the problem, so I booked the car in for a service and to have the oil cooler done,.That was in February and 2 months later i still have the same problem with the car, so i took it to another garage and within a minute of looking at the car the mechanic told me It was the coolant bottle was split and the other garage should have checked that first,.when i went back 3 months later after getting the car fixed, they fobbed me off trying to say that they only found out that the coolant bottle was a known problem in Vauxhall cars a couple of weeks ago. It goes to say that i won't be taking my car to this garage again after paying over £300 for a repair on the car that more than likely didn't need doing, should have checked the car out properly and they might have found out that the coolant bottle was cracked and leaking.

Took car for MOT and everything was ok. No problems. But no service with a smile which is what I think is number in any service. Dont get me wrong, it was all very polite.

I asked them to check what my yaris 05 reg needs to be done and give me a call and then do the mot test but they didn't call me and when I returned they gave me failed mot certificate played clever took £50. And for the little fixings gave me an appointment after 4 days. And when I went to collect my car the guy passed me the certificate and kept my car key demanding me for money rather then showing me the work they have done and satisfying me asking me for money which shows they were not sure if I'm gonna be happy with the money they charged me and the work they have done. And in the end I asked for a discount of £10 the old guy said leave the car here like c'mon man what is wrong with you. Would never go there again even if they are the last on earth.

Owner is very polite. Booked me asap for MOT and could pick up car in day or so. Made minor repairs that needed for the car for a good price. Paid what was quoted and not a penny more.

Rang for labour costs on parts that needed fitting. They told me they don't give prices over the phone. I asked if there was a reason for this. The reply is we just dont" and hang up the phone. Maybe I caught them on a bad day!"

Been using this garage for a few years now, always friendly, reliable and helpful. I know my car is going to be done properly when I take it here, and never been disappointed.
