Our customers say we provide a friendly, reliable and affordable service, but don't take our word for it.

I would like to say a big thank you to Jim and the gang down at Jim's Garage. I took my car for a service & it started making a noise a few days later. Jim took it in - took the wheel off and sorted the problem with no extra charge. Also, we had been complete pests and kept changing the dates and Jim was really good about it.

I brought in my rather neglected and SORN HONDA CRV at end of last year 2018 and not only did he fix it up, do some repairs and MOT her - he also offered to drop the car back onto the driveway!Truly amazing service and communication. I am very thankful to have found this garage. Would highly recommend to anyone and will continue to use as long as my HONDA lasts!

The absolute best mechanic/garage I have ever been to. I have been a regular there for over 5 years.

Very expensive for an MOT and service (£60> than other local garage) and of course they 'didn't know' the price when I booked it in. Also ended up with a massive scrape across the back bumper.

Jim is very knowledgeable and seems to know his stuff! Including about VWs! He diagnosed exactly what was wrong with my vehicle, where another garage had let me down and charged separately for diagnostics! And they did a job that I’m not sure needed doing! My T5 is back up and running now. Was a big job so wasn’t cheap (wouldn't have been anywhere) but happy that my vehicle is now fixed and running well!! Phew. Thanks Jim.

Had a problem with my Audi A8 electronic parking brake, he's had experience before with this car and issue, fitted a new caliper at a reasonable price and quick turnaround. Really friendly chap and was a pleasure to talk with. Will be booking my service with him when I'm back from my holiday.

Had a problem with my Octavia VRS not handling very well. Jim investigated, found the problem and sorted it all in the same day. Car drives brilliantly now. Would thoroughly recommend Jim as a good honest and trustworthy mechanic. Thanks

Went in with a poorly Audi A8 with the notorious electronic parking brake malfunction. Booked in and new brake caliper fitted for a reasonable price. Handbrake now works properly again. Nice friendly chap and was a pleasure to talk to about cars. His garage is hidden away on the road, but following his images with the arrows on his website made it a breeze to find in the end.

I have used Jim to service and repair our cars for around 18 years. He is the only garage owner I know that I can trust 100%. All my family use him now too and even travel from away and take days off work so… that they can take their cars to Jim. He is honest, reasonable, always friendly and approachable, does an excellent job and we have no hesitation in recommending him.

Superb service from Jim's today. Visited from London and he squeezed in a VW T5 clutch replacement the same day. 7hr job. Got us back home the same day with massive improvements to the T5
Also saved the old parts and showed the damage. Pointed out another couple of bits for us.
Clean workshop. Friendly, trustworthy and highly recommended
Thanks Jim and the lads! Matt and Deb 😃
