I would advise all potential customers to avoid this garage…read more I was needing a last-minute service and MOT, but my usual garage was fully-booked for the next 10 days. I phoned Champion and Emmett, and they were able to fit me in the following morning (in hindsight, this should have been a red flag). When I dropped my car off, the mechanic I spoke to quoted me 'approximately £200', and that if any additional work was required that they would phone me to discuss and approve. Later that day, I returned to collect my car. It had passed its MOT; a new cylinder and bearing had been fitted. The bill came to nearly double the quoted price - £376. I had had no discussions with the garage regarding any additional work or cost. The mechanic present was unable to negotiate the price and kept stating 'I thought the gaffer had rang you'. Eventually, he rang the owner, 'Ashley', who had done the work. He fully acknowledged that no discussion had taken place regarding additional work. It took a long and unpleasant discussion to reduce the price - initially Ashley had asked for £300 (in cash). In the end, I agreed to pay £250, but even then, I feel as though I have been taking advantage of. It is garages like this that give mechanics a bad name.

They explain what is wrong with the car and you really feel like your getting a personal service. I much prefer to go to a local garage than a chain garage. They offer accident repairs, resprays, general body repairs, MOTs, services and other mechanical repairs. They are reasonably priced too for the work that they do, you do need to book in advance though as they are often busy.

Ever since my rusty Volvo and I first pitched up in Sheffield, I've been a loyal customer of…read moreGelder's on Sharrowvale Road. I found them at random in the Yellow Pages, while looking for a local garage - they specialise in Volvos, and so having one myself, they seemed ideal. I'd always been a bit wary when using a garage for the first time without recommendation, especially as a woman - would they see me coming? But I needn't have worried here. They always take time to explain what needs doing, and never seem to carry out any unecessary repairs. Their invoices are clear and easy to follow, and prices are excellent - if you have a Volvo then they can usually source reconditioned spares at very good prices. When I showed my bills from Gelder's to my dad, who works in a garage at the other side of the country, he confirmed how reasonable they are. My Volvo has long been relegated to the scrap merchant, but I've continued to use Gelder's, as they will repair other car makes too, although it might take them a bit longer to source spares. They don't do MOTs, but they have an agreement with a MOT centre nearby, so they can usually complete the process within the day provided not too much needs doing. Highly recommended!

Hi Called Gelders last week found them in local search for…read moreVolvo specialists, have a S80 top of the range sports which was making funny noises, bear in mind i normally take my car to a Volvo dealership in Chesterfield. Who quoted me three weeks before they could look at my car. The guys agreed to take a quick look that afternoon, no problem, pushed back the front disc back plate which was catching and said that's it sorted, proper customer service. The Main dealer in Chesterfield had fitted the new discs two weeks earlier, suffice to say I wont be ringing them any time soon

This was the first time I'd been to Allcar but they were recommended by my usual specialist. Top job done and full marks to the friendly technicians. I watched their other work too. What a change to find guys who actually care about your pride and joy. I know my cars (ex pro racer) and I've been around garages for five decades but not found a better one this last ten years. Highly recommended and I'll happily use them again if necessary. May I suggest the 'strange' review from 'cragg' dated 27/02/2012 be ignored.

Some of the reviews on here chat utter cow poop…read more Graham is excellent, I've been using him since I started driving 6 years ago and the garage had been there many many years before then which says something! I always do my research first before buying, letting Graham know if I can get something cheaper and he'll always give a great price for fitting. Graham was actually recommended to me by a business user which again says he must be good! The comment about overalls being outdated? Do you expect them to wear tutus!?!?!? They're mechanics for christs sake, get a grip. Speaking of grip and the bloke with a range rover, check out tyre reviews and you'll see that vredestein had been voted the best tyre but that doesn't necessarily mean its the best for your car or for noise - always check online. Remember he recommended them not forced you to fit them so you have no one but yourself to blame.

This is a petrol station, and car workshop. It looks quite tatty and offputting from the outside,…read morebut came highly recommended to us from a friend so we thought we might as well try it. We have now been using it for 5 years and have no regrets. The business is family run, and as far as i know the guys work Monday to Friday, from about 8:30 to 6:30ish. When we have had MOT's done there they have let us drop the car off earlier than this and drop the keys in at the little shop. They do not tell you your car needs fixing if it doesn't. They check for even very cheap repairs if you want them done, and we have always found the labour charges to be very reasonable. The customer service is good.

The location is very convenient to walk down to the city centre while you wait for the job to be done.

The nationwide garage chain is AA approved and have been Repairer of the year several times (check their website). They accept Tesco Clubcard vouchers towards MOT and service and their newly revamped website is good for making online bookings as well as occasionally finding money off vouchers. Recently their Fuel Service (see website) has received a lot of good press in improving fuel efficiency of cars.

The staff who work there are great, very friendly and give a fair price for repairs. I had a fair few dints in and around my car and they advised me on how much it would be and my options - for a quick fix and also the more expensive long term. They turns things around pretty fast and I got my car back in a couple of days, good as new. There aren't many body shops in the area so this one is popular.
