Vehicle Repair and Maintenance Report

Exact details of mileage schedules and work undertaken does vary depending on the make and model of vehicle. We will quote you for your service as accurately as possible. However, please be aware that certain checks cannot be made until we see the vehicle and therefore additional costs, such as brake pad or cambelt replacement, or other non standard changes or repairs may incur an additional charge.

Testimonials Report

Thank you for the excellent service I received recently when I bought in my car for fault diagnosis. Your mechanics are extremely friendly, knowledgable and helpful. The ultimate diagnosis and fix was speedy and effective and my car has been running beautifully since then. I will be very happy to recommend you.

We are situated very close to the A1M motorway and also the A414 from the A1M to the M25. This excellent location on the outskirts to the east of St Albans is very near to Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City. A collection and delivery service can be arranged locally and also from mid Beds area, if required.

Remarkable. Hardworking, kind and honest people. Left with a tear in eye when not been charged for MOT retest out of kindness. Very humbling. Whole heartedly recommended.

Hidden gem. These guys did my MOT for my previous car and were very open and honest throughout, gave me a genuine rundown of issues with my car that could give future issues (and it was a Fiat, so let's be fair, there was bound to be a lot) but didn't try to strong arm me into getting any unnecessary fixes, simply gave advice on what to look out for.
Service was fast and a good price, and it's right next to a nice pub and across the road from a garden Center with a decent coffee shop, so it's easy to relax whilst it's all being done.
Will be bringing my current car here when it's due!

We have used St. Albans recovery for many years for all our van servicing. They are very quick at turning around our vans when they need repairs or a service. Melvin, Neil and the rest of the team. Good value for money!
