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.

Think once, think twice, THEN think again…read more Bought a car from Ryans Garage recently, and have never had such a bad experience. Judging from the other reviews this does not just apply to car sales. Having bought the car, and driven home to Bristol, there was a family illness, which meant the car was parked on my driveway for just over 4 weeks. Following this illness, I checked the oil and water before I drove it to the supermarket. The water was low, so I topped it up. The next day I checked the water again as I could see a wet patch under the car. It had dropped down again and was topped up. Over the next 2 days this happened again twice more. Because of the inconvenient drive to Portishead, I decided to take the car to my local VW main dealer. They examined the car and said the water pump was leaking and had to be replaced. At this point, the car had been driven 120 miles in total from when I bought it. I rang Ryans Garage and spoke to Ryan personally as he was the main person I had dealt with. I explained the above, and his immediate and condescending response was "you have exceeded your 1 months statutory rights so I can't do anything". Next day, I obtained a quote for the work from my local, specialist and trusted garage, and this time rang a more sensitive and customer orientated member of Ryans staff, who had had some dealing with the car when I bought it. I sent him the quote and confirmation that the water pump was at fault, and he promised to speak with Ryan and try using some reason with him. I rang again in a few days and was told that Ryan had agreed to pay half of the repair cost. I had no choice but to accept this. Two days later the work had been done, so I rang again and sent a copy of the bill I had paid in full. I was promised this would be passed on to Ryan and dealt with. Over the next few weeks, I rang again several times and was told either he was unavailable or it was being dealt with. Eventually, I managed to speak with Ryan. He told me it should have been done, and he would contact his finance people immediately! Over the next few weeks I rang the finance section twice, and was told they knew nothing about it, and on both occasions that they would forward this information to Ryan immediately and get back to me. As with every promise of calling me back, from all the different people I spoke with, they never called, none of them, not once! This whole scenario has tested my trust in human nature to the upmost. I am disgusted with the appalling customer service, blatant lying and dishonesty, I have received, from the top, down. I will never use them again, and will certainly never recommend them. I have accepted that I will never be paid half of the repair, but, it is a sorry society, when people have to stoop to these tactics to make money.
