In my experience Graham at Hampton Lane Garage is the only person I will use. He's blunt to deal with but don't misunderstand this, he just wants you to know what he's doing for you and why. He will not rip you off and he will do the job right, the old fashioned way. No diagnostics machines, he has experience and uses it to your benefit. Don't bother wasting your time on anyone else. Rest easy and go and see Graham.

A trustworthy old school garage run by old school mechanics. These guys know what they're doing and…read morethey will not rip you off. Tucked away down a little lane behind Kwik Fit on Whiteladies Road, they are easy to miss. But in my opinion, the best thing anyone taking their car in to Kwik Fit can do is drive straight past and hang a left to the Hampton Lane Garage.

Ian and his colleagues at Mi Motors couldn't have been more helpful or efficient in identifying the engine fault in my Land Rover Defender and had me back on the road the following day. I'd already called Arley Road Garage, and R&D Motors to be told the earliest either could look at my car would be 14 and 10 days respectively. I called Ian at Mi Motors and he said bring it in the next day. I did, and later that afternoon received a call from him to say my car was repaired and ready to collect! The price was very reasonable, and Ian kept the faulty hose to show me what had happened. All round, a fantastic level of service! :-)

I'll let these guys briefly describe their services themselves:…read more 'We don't just do tyres, ask us about servicing, exhausts, brakes, batteries, steering and suspension.' These guys do it all ,and to a very professional standard. I had to get my rattling exhaust changed a while back and I found these guys by pure chance whilst whistling my way down Winterstoke one sunny morning whilst en-route to a southern fried chicken treat. The guys are really sweet in here, the prices are quite competetive and you can be more than safe in the knowledge that you'll be leaving your pride and joy in quite safe hands.

I have a problem with the sunroof on my old Audi cabriolet, so i went up to Bristol Sunroofs. I…read moredropped in here to see if they could help. The guy running it was closing up for the weekend, but he was really friendly helpful and took a quick look before recommending somewhere up the road as the best place to go. So I dont really know if their sunroofs are any good or not, but four stars to the guy working there for bothering to take a look, listen to my woes and recommend a good place.

I have had a terrible experience with Bristol Sunroof Centre. I googled Bristol Sunroof Centre…read morereviews before I let them carry out the work, it did not turn up one positive or negative review so I thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt. BIG MISTAKE! In my opinion they are best avoided! I had a sunroof fitted to a 13 plate £25,000 4 * 4 last March, I paid over £1500 for the sunroof and fitting. All seemed fine until November after a prolonged amount of rain when I discovered a substantial water leak. Passenger foot well carpet was soaked through, saturated even. I had no reason to believe it was the sunroof causing it as it was bone dry around the sunroof. As I believed the problem lay elsewhere I took the car to my local dealership as I believed it to be a warranty issue. Following an extensive investigation they discovered the sunroof drainage pipes had not been fitted to an outlet, all the water was draining inside of the vehicle underneath the carpets and in the foot wells. The technician also reported corrosion to some of the internal wiring looms. They had to totally strip out the car to locate the fault and it cost me nearly £1000 to correct the incompetence. Bristol Sunroof Centre are refusing to pay for the damage they caused, and pay for the problem to be rectified despite me providing them with a written report from an independent reputable well established dealership. £1000 bill so close to Christmas just because they did not carry out the installation correctly. Hopefully this review will prevent others from suffering from such incompetence from Bristol Sunroof Centre based in Hengrove and its owner James Perrett.

Push started vehicle and drove to Newport Halfords branch at 7.00 pm on a Friday. Vehicle was tested by the Halfords staff and they agreed the battery had failed. Not having the receipt with me, I was expecting to have to pay for a replacement and then have to fight to get refunded at by local branch on our holiday return. But no, the manager Jamie used manager's discretion and supplied a new replacement which is working perfectly now. Well done Halfords - most impressed with the customer service. You will be repaid with my business in the future !

I've have used VW Services for my last two vehicles (Mk4 VW Golf and a Skoda Octavia) and found…read morethem to be very friendly, fair and honest. After a recent MOT they quoted very reasonable prices for the work it needed to pass and, surprisingly, a good price for a tyre that needed replacing. They have been quite happy to fit parts that I have provided for them and, unlike a lot of other garages I have used in the past, are very prompt to call me when the work is done, leaving messages when I have not been able to answer the call. In my experience I find them very knowledgeable and will continue to use them for MOTs, servicing and repairs while I own a VAG car.
