This garage operates with high integrity! I've used them 3 times, for service and necessary repairs, since purchasing a second hand 2008 VW Touareg in summer 2021. Friendly, fair, professional - can't praise them highly enough!

Excellent family run garage, done a fantastic job replacing my air conditioning condenser and receiver dryer, albeit they initially fitted a factory supplied incorrect seal which swiftly failed and without hesitation corrected the issue at no extra charge. If you have any major car air con issue - this is the firm to take your car to, special praise to Ian: top bloke/mechanic

Don't take your business here unless you enjoy being abused by rude and ignorant staff. I was shouted at and abused by a very rude mechanic who, instead of waiting for me to pass, pulled out from a parking space right in front of me and and then expected me to reverse (with a trailer attached) so that he could get by.

Just want to leave my experience with this garage. After one month of complaining to the garage decided to make sure no one will go there. Only if you have a lot of money and you don't mind given them away to the garage to someone who can't even fix your car.
Paid £850 for my car and collected the way it was and been told that its a different problem and than the problem i had is been fixed. Really? They think i don't know that they just took my noney but didn't fix my problem for me to come back and spend more money!
If i only had money would go and get a legal process involved

Brilliant service, great value and a team that really know what they are doing. I have used SLP Autos on several occasions now and they always come up trumps! My car has had a new clutch and drive belt, as well as a full service and replacement tyres and brakes. Each time the car has been worked on, they have done a great job and i have been really happy and it came back cleaned inside and out too!!! Bonus!
