I love Green Oval Garage a little bit…read more.. Me and my husband bought a 2nd hand audi A4 which unfortunately seemed to have an array of strange problems. One being pretty serious and that our car was puffing out lots of white smoke. We were pretty certain that coolent had got into the engine and were going to have a hefty bill. We were desperate to get the car seen to. We usually use a garage around the corner who is very cheap, but alas we couldn't get in touch with them on the phone or in person. BUT we found Green Oval Garage just around the corner. And how happy were we! They were immediately helpful, and took our car straight in whilst we trotted back off to work. They performed a diagnostic check and inspected the smoke problem. They found the problem was actually just a small corroded pipe which they were able to put right straight away for £25! That included VAT and labour as well as them very considerately replacing our rear break light bulb which had blow the day before!!! We were so convinced that it was a more serious problem that this garage could have easily given us a large bill and us not be suspicious, but these guys are completely honest, hardworking and charge good prices and we really respect that. We were so pleased with them that we booked the car in the next week for a major service (was due its 120,000 mile one). Again we were accommodated swiftly. We chose a more advanced service what with our car having a multitude of little problems in the hope it would wipe a few out. My husband has just called to say that he's picked the car out and they performed the service perfectly but also fixed some other little problems it had but for no extra charge. Honestly, at their labour price of £35 an hour i wouldn't have minded being charged for those small jobs, its really good of them. They are so thorough and helpful, and its not often you get anything for free these days is it. AND they washed our car for free afterwards as well. Talk about service. I don't think we'll bother returning to the garage we used before (he was always quite rude anyhow), we will always return here now and will be recommending him to the office park i work on.

I've just had my 2004 audi a4 multitronic (semi automatic gearbox) repaired by the chaps at…read moreCleckheaton Gearbox who I found through the big blog on the web concerning Audi automatic gearboxes of this vintage. They've replaced my 6 plate clutch pack with the 7 plate variety and replaced the flywheel. I now have a smooth running Audi once again and I'm very pleased with the repair and the 24k warranty on the parts fitted. There were some problems beyond their control with the supply of the correct flywheel so remote customers beware but once this was sorted their work was friendly, prompt and professional. Access to a courtesy car was vital for me and the Kia Sorrento supplied was entertaining!

Cleckheaton ripped me off & wrote off my car I have recently…read moregot my XC90 back after nearly 2 years off the road thanks to Cleckheaton. They quoted me £1850 to repair/recondition my automatic gearbox by email. After they recovered it to their premises they kept it for months despite my telephone calls. Finally they they tried to charge me £5400 to replace it as they couldnt fix it. When I said no they said I had to pay them £800 if I wanted it back! After I had paid I found they had kept my Torque Converter and returned me the broken bits of a few other gearboxes they had previously had through their work shop. This was confirmed by a reputable repairer. It's taken this long to source a third party replacement and still cost me £3500 plus the cost of buying another car in the interim. DON'T USE THIS COMPANY THEY RIP YOU OFF AND TRY TO INTIMIDATE YOU IF YOU ARGUE. IMHO, DYOR
