Markham & Smith - Eurorepar Car Service Centre

On Christmas Day, my car developed a strong, grinding sound that was very bad at low speeds (turned out to be a completely locked and worn brake disc/unit) and it seemed (and was) a risk to drive. Luckily, my mum let us stay with her in Witham and we managed to see family using her car (and patience). We live near Hastings and my in-laws booked an impromptu trip, last-minute, late on Boxing Day, due to land at 1pm on 28th... with everyone enjoying Christmas and closed for the bank holidays and us having a car we could not trust to drive.Desperately seeking somebody to even look at the car, I rang everyone under the sun on 28th morning; the answer was pretty much the same everywhere: no room/fully booked/cannot get parts - how about early January?.. As soon as they were open, both my mum and I tried Markham & Smith; honestly, losing any hope by that point. Fortunately, Natalie answered our urgent call of distress with cautious optimism - telling me to get the car around ASAP and they would try to help. Needless to say, they succeeded - and even pressed to get the car to us for us to make that 1pm airport pick-up.Obviously, I was very lucky, yet the truth is that they did not have to even look at the car, let alone try to get it ready in time for my in-laws arrival. That they did highlights their being very decent and kind; and also very good and speedy at what they do. Thank you, you genuinely saved a big part of our Christmastime.

Since the garage I've been going to for over 8 years is now under new management I was looking for another trustworthy service centre.Markham Smith has been a name in Witham long before I moved here in 2008 but I thought they only sold cars.Called up on the off chance they could sort my brakes, booked me in quickly and did the work at an extremely competitive price.Will definitely come back.

My car broke down and was a complete non runner and was brought to them at very short notice by the AA on a Sunday afternoon and they took it in , they explained fully with me what needed doing , even showed me whilst my car was on the ramp to give me a better insight the work it needed . They gave me the choice and roughly how much it would cost , they followed with great friendly, no obligation advice . My cars wet belt had perished and some extremely poor repairs from a previous garage had also caused major issues throughout ,so the car required a lot of work to be carried out , it was not a straight forward fix by any means , many parts needed doing , plus brake discs and pads , which also a previous garage failed to recognise needed replacing, it was in a poor state . However they gave me a curtesy car to use to get to and from work whilst they did the repairs and , I must say , their service is heaven sent !!! Jason was lovely and my car feels like a new car , it has never sounded that smooth and quiet all the time I’ve owned it , I will never take my car to another garage again. Would highly recommend, they gave a 5 star service , and I feel a lot safer driving about now . Thankyou so much x

Markham and Smith fitted new clutch, slave cylinder and master cylinder to my VW Passat. Excellent service and fair price. I thoroughly recommend Jason and his team.

I’ve just used their MOT service. There were no issues. They were courteous and drama-free. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic service, kept in contract throughout, got the job done earlier than expected really happy with these! This certainly will be my garage from now on best around for sure!

Due to an incident with a pothole I needed professional services.Not living in Witham I had no experience of garages in the area.From our first contact Jason made me feel confident that all would be OK. The service we received was very courteous, professional and competitively priced including a courtesy car.Highly recommended.

Used Markham and Smith yesterday for my service and MOT, I left it a bit late booking but they were so helpful and squeezed me in! Excellent service, Jason was really friendly and helpful, and all done in a day despite me booking late. We have used before for my husbands car and will continue to use in the future.

Jason is always helpful and prompt. Great service and upfront with prices. Our car was serviced with brake pads and discs replaced. The following week we noticed the car juddering over 50mph. Jason managed to fit us in the next day and fixed the problem which was probably caused by another company when we had tyres replaced. They aligned the wheels and made sure the problem was resolved and didn't charge us a penny. Fantastic customer service - would definitely recommend.

Had a water leak that was promptly dealt with by Jason & his team .Coursey car on hand to get home and repair done the following day ,they also dealt with the warranty company direct so complete hassel , free a just a call to say it was all done ,can I also add that my car is quite rare so very impressed with the fabulous time on getting the partHave recommended to work colleagues locally ..Jan
