I recently used Wellington Garage on a friends recommendation, the service I received was very good…read moreand excellent value for money. No hidden extras and extremely efficient and friendly staff. I wouldn't hesitate to use again and highly recommend.

5th, Jan, 2014 just after Christmas and New Year and happily decided to use Servicing Stop the 2nd…read moretime and they chose Wellington Garage (the on in Bolton) as my service provider. (first time was about a year ago but not with this garage). I thought they would use same local garage or at least same standard like last year, but this time they used a local garage that's 15miles away from my home (Wellington Garage MOT Centre) -- and got the worst experience ever from this Wellington Garage!!! In my comments left on the initial online form I requested them to 1) fix a small scratches at the panel below my front door 2) fix a door that couldn't be opened from inside 3) check horn because it doesn't always work 4) service light indicator on my BMW - I was quoted about £180 for the full service that was initially agreed online, they gave me a call quickly after my car was collected, telling me that 1) I need my engine oil replaced for something like £50-60 and I accepted it. 2) They told me they will polish my car for around £30 (can't remember the exact figure but I know the final cost from payment email) which they will fix the paint 3) They told me in order to fix the door they need to ship off the entire door from the car body and investigate which will cost about £50 - I was concerned and then agreed (and now regretted!!) When the car was returned by an old driver, he told me that 1) they couldn't fix the paint because they don't have the facility to do this 2) they didn't ship off the door because it will be too much work, and they believe the door isn't faulty because they didn't find any problem 3) they didn't fix horn because they need to open the gear to check details 4) they didn't fix service light because their engineer couldn't get into the BMW computer system I was utterly shocked by what has been done and what hasn't and immediately gave them a call once I got back to my apartment (now I regret again because I shouldn't have left that driver gone!) I called servicing stop and they transferred me to the service provider, the service provider argued with me over the phone saying that 1) it was me who confirmed to have the car polished -- and I shouted at him: HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A CAR BEING POLISHED WITHOUT CLEANED AND WASHED? 2) he confirmed they fixed the door -- and I shouted again asking why he charge me £50+ saying it needs to be shipped off the car while the driver told me they didn't bother doing it be cause it will be too much work?! 3) he said he never guaranteed to get the paint fixed -- while I totally got irritated, and asked did I ever wanted a polishing (no mention they didn't do the polishing work) - I purely agreed on this because they will fix the paint!! Anyway, problem didn't get resolved. I knew my money total of £332.69 has been successfully robbed. To be honest now I even wonder whether this garage really did a thorough full service to my car, and even worse it make me thinking whether they have done anything worse on my car that they'll never tell! Any one who use Wellington Garage or Servicing stop -- read my review and share my anger - and I hope you can spread out my word so the garage and Servicing-Stop will understand how important it is for them to be honest and trust worthy. I'll continue submit my complaints to as many websites as possible as I don't think I'll get any positive call back from Wellington Garage or Servicing Stop.

The one thing I have always found with Phillip [similar to Jim] is that you can trust what he tells you. Same as you always could with Jim, a very important and valuable asset, worth its weight in gold and rarely found in this day and age.

You need to trust any garage you go to, and whatever work they say is needed is needed. You also want to know it's done to a high standard. Steve is the boss their and if you understand dry humor then you'll get on even better with him. I don't get any favours or discount for doing this review from the garage but if they read this and want to offer i'll take anything they give. Free brake pads, oil filter, or a air freshener, etc lol
