I have recently bought a van from this company and I can not recommend them highly enough. They had the cheapest deals on the market and the service was superb! read more

And Yapps would not be a bad place to end up outside when the engine finally cuts out. They're happy to help clueless people like me that still don't understand why you fill the car with petrol at the back when the engine's at the front, and they won't take you for a ride either. They have standard prices for everything and they'll talk you through it first. It's as cheap a service as you can expect from car related things and their service is really fast. I'd recommend them, which I believe I've proven by the fact that I just did.

Halfords Autocentre
(5 reviews)
Worst garage I've ever visited…read more Paid £300+ for a full service and MOT, 2 warnings, first one they said I had to take to a different garage to fix and the second was was fixed by them. I drive away, only to see my disk brake warning light still on. I took my van to another garage to fix the first issue. This other garage tell me that Halfords have fitted wrong parts and that the disk brake light wasn't even plugged in properly. Took it back to get it re-tested, to which they said I had 10 days before I'd have to pay again. I take it in within the 10 days, they have it for a full day, they then call and say they weren't able to fit it in, they also said that I still have 1 issue to fix, the one they said they already fixed, so I tell them that. And they go away saying "let us just re-check that". I bring it back in again, early in the morning, making sure to tell them everything in the morning that needs to be checked, the response I get "yeah don't worry yours is going up next", I get a call at 4:00 telling me that my van is next up, and I ask if that includes fixing everything I've mentioned "yeah, don't worry it will be ready for 5:30". 20 minutes later, sorry we won't be able to fit you in, want us to keep the keys and we can do it tomorrow. My response, you having a laugh! Don't go here! incompetent.
I prefer to compliment a business but very poor service today from Halfords in Cardiff. Given…read moreexpectation that oil change on car would be completed 'well before midday' but on return at midday car was still parked where I left it at 8.25pm. No phone call or text to say timings had changed which resulted in a mad dash to a meeting the other side of Cardiff. Request for a discount to compensate me for costs and inconvenience was refused. Guys it's better to under promise and over deliver rather than the other way around. "Halfords, For Life's Journeys" is all very well but you hardly lived up to it today basically denying me a journey and use of my car due to your Manager stating a delivery time but not meeting it. Avoid.

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 !

They are Aston Martin specialists but also sell Porcshe, Ferrari, posh looking 4x4's and more. Its in a bit of odd location really with parking around there being a bit tricky. I can't say anything about the service but I'd expect if you paying that much it would be top class.

Probably the largest luxury vehicle retailer in Europe, their name is allied to all of the cars that you have ever wanted to own, but have never been able to afford! Stratstone has been in business since 1921. That's nearly a century - almost as long as cars have been in existence! The Cardiff branch specializes in Lotus and Aston Martins, but can supply you with the car of your dreams, whatever the make, as long as you've got the cash to pay for it. This is very unlikely as far as I'm concerned, but every now and then I like to indulge in a spot of window shopping, just to keep abreast of how the 'other half' live. Something struck me as I peered through the pristine plate glass windows, scrunching my nose, with mouth agape, in that kind of none-comprehending questioning way that we tend to assume when the answer is straight in front of us, but we haven't quite figured it out yet... Stratstone have publicized the fact that they are in the market for second hand Lotus, up to five years old, which I simply thought might be a ploy to get people to trade in their old sports cars and buy a new one. But then it dawned on me... even the rich might be feeling the pinch! How about that?
Rich Feltham is an independent bike mechanic, he operates from his home workshop in Portishead, has…read morea workshop in Shirehampton and also works on a mobile basis, which is ideal for me as it is often difficult for me to get my bike to a workshop and then on to work or whatever. I have used his servcies many times, and referred a number of bikers to him all of whom have had very positive experiences. For example, I took an 05 CBR600RR in for a minor service which included a change of brake fluid and an oil & filter change on top of the usual inspections and adjustments. Total cost £37.90 for parts and £45 labour (1.5 hours) which I think is reasonable on top of being really convenient. Rich also does tyre fitting at his Shirehampton workshop. I order my tyres online at the best prices and have them delivered to him. Fitting and balancing is £15 a rim. He can do single side swingarm wheels which many places do not. He used to work for a big dealeriship in Bristol, has loads of race and track experience, is polite, well presented and wouldn't scare you in a dark alley (i.e. he's not a tattooed scumbag chancer).
