AJH Automotive

I've used Alistair for years now, well before he opened AJH Automotive and have continued to do so ever since.He was always so professional and obviously well qualified by the standard of his work. His prices are very fair and unlike a lot of garages, he diagnoses the vehicle and videos all works needed to be carried out, which is very clever and fair way for the customer to see exactly for themselves, what needs doing.For me personally, he's always fitted me in when I've been in a pickle, even though he's rushed off his feet.All my family and friends use his garage now and anyone else who needs a recommendation, I'll always send them there...Very professionalVery competitive pricesAlways there to help - nothings a problem. Can't speak highly enough.

I had my car booked in to get some work done, they booked me in very quickly, sent detailed videos about the issues with prices of how much it was going to cost. They completed the work perfectly the following day. Excellent communication from all and they have lovely staff and owners. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you!

Car was booked in for a timing belt change and a major service. I have to say from the initial booking to picking my car back up, the whole process was made easy by Alistair and his team. I was sent a video assessment of the car, with commentary, about how different aspects of the car are doing, such as springs, brake discs/pads etc. which I think is a really nice touch. I was kept informed throughout the day on the cars progress and again when it was ready to pick up. Brilliant service and friendly attitude from all staff. Car is due an MOT next month and had no hesitation booking it with AJH Automotive. Highly recommended.

My first time using AJH and I can’t recommend them enough! From their friendly service upon booking my car in to the video message detailing the issue with my car right down to the fast and efficient repair carried out! 10/10 will recommend them to others and will definitely use them again should the need arise!

Fantastic customer service, after-sales care and honesty.Ran out of diesel and the car wouldn't start. Rang the reception from the side of the road thinking I'd need to be towed there- passed the phone to Alistair who told me exactly what I needed to do!An average mechanic would've told me I needed to bring it in and charged me for fixing it! Rare honesty and kindness, couldn't rate highly enough.

Had an incident literally yesterday resulting in me needing a new headlight installed, and I was supposed to be leaving Durham the following day. Having obtained the part I went to these guys to see if they could squeeze my car into their long list of bookings, and they managed it. Got it sorted very quickly, headlight works perfectly well, whole process was very smooth and I was able to leave on time after all. Ali - if you’re reading this, you were brilliant, thank you so much. If there was an option to give you 6 stars, I’d do it.

Excellent experience with this garage. We all know how much of a minefield it can be finding a good, trustworthy garage to use that aren't out to con you. I had a lot of work done following a vehicle health check that prepared my car for its mot next year but more importantly made it safe, which Alistair stressed was important to him when discussing the work. Completely up front, sent a video of work required, even saved me some money by shopping around for better prices on parts. I particularly liked the fact that he mentioned that I was a customer of theirs now and they like to look after their customers.Can't recommend enough and is definitely my go to garage for work now,David

This was my first time of using AJH, which was recommended by my brother in law.I booked my car in for an mot and was met with a smooth and easy booking system and they were able to accomadate days of convenience for myself to take my car along.Polite, friendly and very welcoming staff on arrival to the garage.I was particularly impressed with the video sent and an update on my cars mot. Thought it was a really nice touch and very informative.Great service that I would highly recommend and will use again. Thank you.

Always very friendly service! Had my car in a few weeks ago as it was leaking water into the footwell, was fixed within the day and they've made sure it won't happen again too. Wouldn't take my car anywhere else for an MOT or car issues - important to have a garage you can trust!
