You know what it's like when you move to a new town. You settle in, learn the best places to eat…read moreand drink, where to go and where to avoid. You've learned the rat-runs in and out for those occasions when the Temporary Traffic-Light Fairy has waved her Wand of Chaos on your route to work, and can quote fuel prices to the decimal point from every filling station in a five-mile radius. Happy in your new environment, you can settle down with the comfortable knowledge that you're becoming one of the locals. You've even given some thought to joining the local PTA and then it happens. Your car won't start, your MOT runs out, or bizarre noises more usually associated with mating polar bears start emanating from the mysterious jumble of pipes and metalwork that apparently has something to do with making your car go, but as far as you're concerned has been put in to support your washer-fluid tank. In desperation, you phone your old garage only to be told that it's not terribly convenient for one of their mechanics to drive 130 miles to listen to the weird grinding sound and isn't there someone local you can ask? Now you come back down to earth with a bump, your dreams of becoming accepted by the local community shattered. How could you ever have fooled yourself into thinking you've found a new home when you don't know who you can trust to fix your car, for crying out loud?! If you're an automotive imcompetent like myself, there are few things more daunting than finding a reliable garage in a new area. Where do you go? All your friends have conflicting opinions and horror stories about garages - from tales of flagrant overcharging to spontaneously-combusting VW Beetles - but none of them are prepared to go out on a limb and actually recommend one. Julie's-husband-Dave takes a quick look on your behalf, sucks breath between his teeth, mutters something incomprehensible about tappets and sidles off to watch the football. Is there anyone left to whom you can turn? Let me tell you now: there is, and it's VMR Autos. Over a frantic decade of moving from place to place like a bewildered pigeon that has lost its homing instinct and consequently nests in a different county every other month, I've seen a lot of garages, good and bad. This is, I promise you, one of the good ones. They charge reasonable prices, do a good job - when they SAY they will - are perfectly prepared to admit what is and isn't within their realms of expertise and have a great network of local specialist contacts for those truly perplexing problems. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them wholeheartedly and you can tell Dave from me that I wasn't fooled for a moment.

I had to get him out a few times in order to take parts out of the engine so I could get pipes fabricated and bespoke parts ordered. Got him back round to fit them and service. We had an issue with a leak afterwards, Damien came round promptly to replace and fit an aged clip free of charge. Really appreciate his help. I will definitely use him again! And let's it, I have a British Leyland car so theres no doubt I will call upon his services in the future!

Very disappointing experience - not the professional diagnostic promised…read more I booked my car in with VolcanMotors for what was clearly advertised and verbally confirmed as a professional and detailed diagnostic. When I made the booking, the owner assured me they would carry out proper due diligence and identify the root cause of the issue. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of that expectation. After a few hours, I was told the "diagnostic" had been done using a diagnostic machine only, with no meaningful additional investigation. There was no visual inspection, no deeper fault-finding, and no attempt to properly validate the issue. They simply repeated the same fault code information I was already aware of. Based on this very superficial check, they quickly recommended a major and expensive repair -- without demonstrating any thorough analysis to justify it. When I asked reasonable questions to understand their process and reasoning, I was met with a rude and dismissive attitude rather than a professional explanation. What's most disappointing is not just the lack of diagnosis, but the lack of honesty and professionalism. If the garage does not have the expertise, time, or willingness to properly diagnose a vehicle, it would be far more professional to say so upfront rather than provide a costly recommendation based on a basic scan. I trusted them to treat both the job and me as a customer with professionalism and respect. Instead, I received neither. I would not return to this garage and would not trust their diagnostic conclusions.

Well the moment I took off on the X9, I thought I was on a police bike, it was so smooth, fast an comfortable compared to my 400 Burgman. After a short run, I reluctantly took it back, an said until I found out about my job situation in the local office in Bristol I couldn't arrange anything. The salesman said to let him know. Well a few months later, having been released from my contract (due to downsizing) and with a healthy inheritance (from my aunt). I contacted him and found out the same deal was available so I arranged to pick up the X9. Was I a happy chappy! All thanks to a generous trade in, offered by Frasers. I later took it to France for a short trip, then flew onto Milan for the EICMA bike show. But thats another story........................
