Comments: I was really happy with the service. I've had experience of very poor customer service at garages and so often feel nervous going to one, but this was a great experience. The member of staff on the desk was friendly and professional. There was a large waiting room with free drinks, a vending machine and books for children - which was so helpful as I had my two young children with me. There was also a toilet which was really clean - not always had this experience in garages! I would definitely go back.

When I asked if they would mind if I fed my baby if he woke, they were prepared to offer me a room where I could be comfortable and undisturbed. I would recommend this garage to anyone and they provided the same professional yet friendly service to all people I saw them deal with as I waited. Most impressed.

Comments: I would like to send a great big thanks to Paul and Dan for sorting out my Range Rover. They were brilliant and very patient sorting out what the fault was. As Paul said, Hunters wanted to change the fuel injection and that would have cost somewhere over £1000. As it was they soon knew it wasn't the fuel injection but the battery, so big thanks for that - you guys are mega and thanks too to Kim.

Comments: My comments are as follows: It is nice to have a garage I feel I can trust and even when the bill is a bit eye watering I know the work will have been necessary and that I haven't been 'ripped off.' I particularly love getting a sparkling new car back - the inside and outside clean is great! I also love the little surprises you leave - first aid kit/wipes/travel sweets etc! Also very useful to have a good courtesy car. Thank you.

Comments: The service was brilliant at CraneBank, I felt extremely comfortable leaving my car with you as my mum, Jackie Dawson always uses you. It was nice to experience a garage that wasnt too intimidating, I have found in the past with other garages that I have felt slightly patronised, being a young woman, however there was nothing like that during my visits to you and I would definitley be bringing my car back in the future.

Comments: What a pleasurable experience it was bringing my car for its MOT. As a lady it is always a feeling of dread having to take time out of my busy day to take the car to a garage and have to sit in a waiting room for an hour. Yesterday this was actually most enjoyable, to be given a lovely cup of coffee, (in a proper mug!) and to be able to sit on a comfortable sofa reading magazines, what more could a lady ask for. Oh yes and let's not forget the lovely friendly atmosphere. Perfect!

Comments: I've been using Nuffield Motors for over a year now and they have never, ever let me down. They are always welcoming and friendly and know me by name. Yesterday my car had it's Coolant Warning Light come on and when I had a look in under the bonnet, noticed that the car had had a massive wee underneath it and no water in the expansion tank. One call to Nigel and the car was booked in, taken to the garage and they even gave me a lift back to my place of work. They do have courtesy cars if needed. I was advised that they couldn't look at the car until Wednesday (which was fine by me) but lo and behold, I get a phone call today and less than 24 hours later my car is back in action. I only ever take my car to Nuffield Motors now for Repairs, Servicing and MOTs.

They came and picked me up and took me home from the garage when needed which was very helpful. Couldn't have been more pleased I'd taken my car here.

Comments: As soon as I entered I felt warmly welcome by all. The waiting area was spacious and comfortable with lots of reading material and things to look at; I was offered a cup of tea while i waited. The waiting area has a window to the workshop floor so you can watch as they fix the problems with the vehicles. Both reception staff and mechanics' alike were warm and friendly. They were upfront and honest with the problems and explained in a way that wasn't jargon. I went in and all the issues with my car were fixed while I waited and considering how much it needed and how much I though it would have cost, I was more than surprised when I received my bill and how low it was. When I have been to garages before I've felt really out of place and have in other places been advised to do things that aren't necessary and not being able to put my foot down as I felt intimidated. H&B was so open and honest that I didn't feel intimidated at all and felt that I could talk to them and they would give me an honest answer to keep the car on the road for an affordable price. For the Service, quality of work and welcome from all involved; it is somewhere I would definitely go back to and highly recommend.

The vehicle was collected free of charge(excellent start in my book). Within 2 hours he had phoned with diagnosis and fixed cost for the repair. True to their word the bill was exactly as quoted not a penny more. Very friendly people, would definitely be using Go-Renault for all my repairs in the future.

Comments: Over the last 6 years we had our Land Rover serviced at Gumtree. For the last 2years (after my husband died) I found much support from John with any problem with the car and due to my lack of knowledge felt I could trust John completely if there was any major work to be done. When I needed to sell the Land Rover John advertised and sold it for me which took the pressure off me. I have no hesitation in recommending Gumtree garage to anyone else as I know they would be well looked after.

I know a little about cars and when I asked direct questions I received helpful and informative answers. It built trust and so I booked the car in. They were splendid.

Comments: I would recommend you do not step near this garage to either buy a car (Selsey showrooms) or take your car there to be fixed (Sidlesham). My engineer father reviewed my car after buying it from them and found: - cables not in their fixings - illegal spare tyre - power steering fluid under the minimum limit - little oil - other tyres needing replacing - tracking needed doing The car has since spent more time with the garage than with me (I bought it in September last year). At one point when I bought the car back as the work had obviously not been done, they tried to bully and even lied to me to the point that I rang a male friend during the altercation (they changed their behaviour after this). I definitely felt that they would treat males different from females. They didn't return phone calls, couldn't be bothered to do the car quickly, smoked in the garage, didn't do the work they said they had - overall their customer service was lousy. Cowboys - steer well clear ladies (and gents).

Comments: They tried to charge me £400 to replace tyres because of cuts. I went to a tyre specialist to get them replaced and asked them to check where the cuts were; they found NO DAMAGE AT ALL to the tyres. Honda apologised and asked to see the car again. They then circled the cuts in yellow chalk, but they were gravel indents that were not serious at all, not cuts.

Comments: This garage offered to unstick a jammed seatbelt and rang to tell me the car was ready, but when I went to collect it, the car was not there. It had apparently been taken on an hour-long 'test drive'. I asked why and was told I didn't understand the first thing about cars. When the car was finally returned to me I felt in a very uncomfortable position with an extremely abusive man. In the end I wasn't charged, but I felt very unsafe and have had a horrible experience. I would strongly advise people not to use this garage - especially a woman like me!

He's serviced 3 cars for me now and actually found me my last car. My previous car died and the AA took me back to Autoworks on a Saturday morning. Mick arranged to scrap the car and found me a replacement vehicle within budget. He was delayed by a day getting the car serviced for me due to staff sickness so he drove the car up to Oldham for me at no extra cost. Truly exceptional service. I recommend Autoworks highly.

I now have my sister go there as well. When i was looking to buy a car I suggested what I was looking at and they advised me against it, as that one always had things go wrong.

And they hired my transporter trailer twice, to carry customers cars etc, for over three weeks, and refused to pay for it. What a disgusting way to treat a widow.

Comments: I was recommended to BRC by a friend. Whilst on site they noticed some scratches on my car so I agreed to have these done. They collected and delivered my car back and gave me a courtesy car. The service I received was great and not what I expected.
