Bexley Lane Garage

I took my Mercedes GLE into this garage for a B5 service. I am new to the area so needed to find a new Garage. i was quoted £280 for the full service. i agreed and brought my car in a few days later. after dropping the car off i receive a phone call from the garage trying to upsell me a few other things (air conditioning recharge, Brake fluid replacement and back window wiper). this too me over my budget to £417.. ok fine do all the extra work. came in later in the afternoon to collect my car and pay. was told my dipstick handle was missing. This is strange because i never touch my dipstick to check oil, i get it serviced every year and oil changed by the mechanic so either they broke it or it was my previous mechanic. im dubious about it but decide to pay the £18 for a replacement. Friday evening my check engine light comes on. It has never done this before in the 3 years i have had the vehicle. engine light on directly after ive had a service at a new garage is suspicious. i wait till Monday to query them about it thinking they could have innocently left something out of place and would investigate/rectify. straight off the bat the person on the phone is denying that the two things could be linked. I'm no mechanic but even i know that there is a possibility the two things could be linked. Could it be a coincidence that all these extras are happening to my car for the first time at a new garage. yes its possible. Could it be that these things happening to my car generating extra income is the way the garage operate. more than likely, yes. ive been booked in for Friday for them to inspect the vehicle, but i am worried they are going to do more damage that is going to cost me more money in the long run. I think its better to cut my losses then take it into this garage. cut a long story short, dont be surprised if your car develops new problems after you've taken it here. its how they make extra money

Have taken my BMW Z3, Land Rover Defender, and Mitsubishi outlander, PHEV there. This is an honest garage who do good work for a fair price. Excellent customer service

Thank you BLG! My little Tilly, a VW Beetle, has had her rear suspension spring, wing mirror and annoying tyre light fixed today! Great service! Fab team! And they tell me that they’re soon to be celebrating their 30th birthday! My son did his apprenticeship here when he was 16 and I’ve used them ever since - always nice to find a trustworthy garageGreat value for money at just over £100 inc VAT too! No rip off here!

Great garage. Friendly, helpful staff. Always do what is needed to be done around my car. Good prices for servicing.

Used this garage for over 25 years, wouldn't go anywhere else. Great staff, great service, 100 o/o trustworthy. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Had an oil and filter change. Originally we thought the work requested was done to completion, but the car wasn’t put back together properly and a panel underneath the car came loose. After a hairy moment on a motorway, had to go back to get it fixed. They argued at first but then secured the panel properly. Disappointed, but the car is now safe to drive.

Honest report on our family car and a reasonable price for repair. Happy to discuss and advise on repairs that need to be done immediately and which can be put off until a later date. Great service.
