Church Wharf Garage

I never ever thought I'd be giving a car garage a 5 star review and that should go so way to…read moreshowing the merit these guys deserve. In a day and age where it seems car repairs are all about add ons and mechanics taking you for a ride (pun intended), it's amazing to find a local place that are 100% honest. I took my trusty little Seat in to Church Wharf as I needed to swap out my speedometer (EU form) for a new one (UK Form). They went through the process of taking my car apart, probably a good hour, only to then realise the new part I'd given them was wrong and wouldn't fit. They promptly called me, put it all back together and charged me diddly squat for doing so. After this, they went out of their way to source the correct part, at no additional cost or benefit to them, and made an effort to fit me in as soon as possible to get the work done as they knew I was in a hurry. The truly unbelievable service from these guys was topped off when my total bill came to £90 including VAT. To make this much effort for a £90 job is fantastic and they deserve a 6th star if I could give it to them. Tom and the lads here are brilliant and will take care of you for sure!

They do all of my family's MOTs and services and any repairs that are picked up. The staff are very kind and the prices are competitive.

However, I've been going to Equip from 5 years and never had even the smallest problem. I would recommend them to anyone and I do!

I had high hopes for this garage after deciding to move from my long-term garage to support a…read morelocal, independent business. The initial booking process was professional, and I particularly appreciated the honesty when they called me well in advance to correct a mistake on their initial quote. Unfortunately, this positive start did not last. The main issues began on the day of the MOT and service. A misunderstanding over the 8 am appointment time, which was not clarified in the text reminder I received, meant I arrived later than expected. I am happy to own my part in that delay; however, the reaction I received from one of the mechanics was completely unprofessional. Rather than explaining the situation, he was visibly angry, repeatedly checked his watch, and spoke to me in a condescending tone that made me feel incredibly unwelcome. This is not how any customer should be treated. The most significant failure, however, was the complete breakdown in communication later in the day. After approving necessary repairs, I was left waiting for an update. I received no calls at all towards the end of the day. It was only at 5:30 pm, after the reception and workshop staff had apparently gone home, that another employee fortunately thought to check and call me to say my car was still on the ramp and would not be ready. To be left without my car overnight, with no warning whatsoever from the team responsible, is simply unacceptable. The car was ready the next morning, and the final repair work seems fine. However, even the complimentary car wash was symbolic of the lack of care shown--it was a poor effort that failed to remove simple surface dirt. While the reception staff were friendly and the work was eventually completed, the stressful encounter with the mechanic and the shocking lack of end-of-day communication mean I cannot recommend this garage. A business is only as strong as its weakest link, and unfortunately, the disorganisation and unprofessional attitude here overshadowed any positives.

John is a friendly guy and when I was having problems with the electrics on my car on Saturday, I called up and he was more than happy if I ran it down for him to give it a good looking over. Turned out it was a blown fuse that was easily replaced within 10 minutes and with me fully expecting to pay to have it fixed he gave it to me for free and said no probs. This is the sort of great local business still out there and I'll definitely still keep going here for the great service and great MOT's.

This is a family run business and an exceptional one at that! With friendly staff you can trust these guys. They fix any car and give you a decent price. What is good is that the owners live a few yards away from the shop so your car is safe when left with them. Also their MOT test centre has been running since 2003 and is popular with the locals. You can book your MOT on line or speak to one of the staff. Whats really cool is that you can set up a reminder of your MOT and they will remind you when its near the time. Great, especially for me!

There were a few items on my car which needed work (no surprise, it's old), so they gave me a quote and ordered the parts. But then when I arrived they'd managed to actually repair some of the existing parts and didn't need to use the spares, so the overall cost actually ended up being significantly less than they had quoted - a very nice surprise. They were also incredibly apologetic for keeping me waiting, even though there was hardly any wait at all. The other big bonus - free RAC cover with your MOT which is excellent value!

Not the cheapest place for a service or MOT but certainly dead reliable. I know they're a chain of…read moregarages but they do definitely give great service as though they're a family firm. They even attempted to give my husbands van a complementary valet but he's a plasterer so I'm sure you can imagine what a job that was, but the thought was there anyway! They really pulled the stops out to get my mot done and passed on time and I really appreciated it. I've used them personally and my husbands used them for work and we've both said the same, we'd use them again. Not the cheapest as I said but there's a value in them being reliable and we found them to be so.

I am not sure how they sell any cars when this is how they treat their customers. will never purchase from them again and I highly recommend you don't as well. AVOID at all costs.

I find their service to be thorough and efficient, and they seem to endeavour to explore all options and put no pressure on the customer. They even go as far as asking about driving habits and usage, before re-examining specific areas and coming to a final decision on repairs needed. If anyone is unsure of where to take their car to, especially if they do not know a trusted mechanic, then I would recommend going to an established and large company, such as Halfords Autocentre.

I came back after 9 hours, I'd had no phone call or updates all day. I was told by the young man that greeted me that my 11 years old car was too old and he couldn't even get a quote for parts. I was surprised and taken aback and amazed that they hadn't even called to let me know. I started to ask if they might still try again to get the parts and was rudely and aggressively shouted at. The man then turned to walk away. I had to ask if I could have my key and without looking back he shouted over his shoulder, it's in the car. It was not in the car, and I had to come back in for it. I understand that not all faults can be repaired. But I did get this repaired elsewhere and it was less than an hour and an easy part to obtain. Even after a bad day there's no need to be rude to people who are in need of assistance and paying for your service.

Advisories from earlier tests were not identified on further tests, despite the work not being done, and work was recommended when not essential. How often do you compare the previous years certificate with the new one? The most serious problem was the missing of a ball joint issue which failed less than 4 months after testing despite almost £400 worth of work having been recommended/done. Fortunately it failed on a car park not a motorway but the vehicle had to be scrapped! Will not use again.
