Knowing nothing about cars and having to do my first ever MOT and service, I called around a few…read moreplaces around north London to make sure I didn't get ripped off. Oakmere services was by far the cheapest and most transparent so I decided to go with them. They were super flexible when I called them up saying I could come in anytime before 12 the next day (Saturday). As soon as everything was ready they called and text me to let me know I'd passed my MOT and to let me know I had minor problems with my tires. Never once did they try to push me into sorting it out with them though. A MOT, full service and brake fluid change came to £224 including VAT! Bargain! I think? The place is a bit hard to find (right NEXT to the bus station) so try to watch the video on their website before coming in. They are open 7 days a week which is again super handy.

My Porsche car's OSR tyre had a nail in, so it was inflated but liable to deflate, so I thought…read moretaking it into St. Rule Street Garage was the best option. Upon meeting Danny and his apprentice, I was immediately impressed. The apprentice used the Jack to get the tyre off and proceeded to fix the tyre by getting the nail out and then using a solution on the tyre. After this, he put the tyre on and returned my tyre lock to me, where I looked at the result and was amazed it was done in five minutes. I paid a reasonable price and even gave a tip for speedy service and would definitely recommend anyone to visit Danny at St. Rule Street Autos for any work. Thank you, guys. Jason

Was charged an extortionate amount for a car battery that after just 6 months completely packed in…read more Found out via two other mechanics from large and well-known companies that the battery Neil sold was not brand new and had in fact been fitted a few times before. Called Neil to complain and he got very defensive, rude and hung up on me. After calling back on a withheld number he then answered and said that he would collect the battery for investigation, though is now ignoring my calls again. The battery is yet to be collected and to be refunded. I dread to think of how many other people (particularly women) he rips off. If I do not hear back from Neil I will take this matter further and not hesitate to take him to court. (Side note: I will be more than happy to remove/edit this review once Neil rightly offers me a refund).

As a mechanic myself of 25+ years I can 100% recommend Stephens engineering…read more My mums car developed a dsg fault which I do not have the experience in so I researched garages that specialise in dsg gearbox repairs. I rang a good number of garages, most of which told me a load of rubbish about what was needed to repair mums car, as a mechanic myself i understand exactly how the dsg box works despite not actually repairing them myself. I didnt tell any garage my trade and acted like a general punter to make sure I found a garage that told me the truth about what needed to be done sadly most didnt, being in the trade I know only too well alot of garage's sadly rip people off. I spoke to Jason and he told me what was likely to be the issue and gave me a min and max price estimate, the fault he believed it to be was exactly what I had found extensive research results prior to calling for quotes. The car was dropped off to them Saturday while they were closed and by midday tuesday it was repaired and ready right in the middle of his price estimate. When I picked the car up the workshop was very clean and tidy and well organised, and they had even given mums car a courtesy wash. I have always done everything to the best of my ability and believed in doing things right. I truly believe I've stumbled on a gem of a company with customer service at the core. I'm an honest mechanic leaving a solid review for a company which shares my values, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stephens engineering and I will definitely only be making 1 phone call for any auto gearbox repairs in the future.

I've been using St Albans Recovery for my MOTs for many years. Small problems, like a bulb or…read morewindscreen washer rubber, they automatically fixed as part of the initial MOT so a retest wasn't necessary. That saved me a lot of cash. Then, more recently, I started getting my services done there as well. Same reliable and caring service, always locating and repairing every minor irritation during a service that I'd often forgotten to mention, like a broken dashboard bulb. So I can genuinely recommend St Albans Recovery for both their MOTs and their servicing and repairs. A really nice bunch of blokes and all genuine mechanics too. Can't recommend them too highly.
