The service was questionable at all three with them blaming the metals inside the cat for the expense and being unsure which cat system was needed for my car. I went to max performance and they not only did they know what they where talking about but the they only charged £190. These guys are totally professional and honest ( yes an honest garage) and they will only a charge you a fair price for work that actually needs doing. Top job very happy. Could not recommend enough.

A while ago we were out on the Pershore road and of his tyres blew, well we thought it had and we called his breakdown rescue people because we had no idea what to do - embarrassing I know! Anyway when they turned up it turned out the little valve on the tyres, where you adjust the tyre pressure had broken and therefore the air had come out. It was all very fiddly and although we fitted the spare tyre he said that we could fix the tyre by getting a new valve so we decided to pop into Volks Bits as it was nearby. We told the guy inside what we needed and luckily he was able to help. It was not too costy and we left happy! I would recommend this place for those with VW cars!

Autoparts is an independent car parts shop with keen prices and a wide range of stock. They also have an eBay store with a ton of harder to find parts that you're able to access too. What sets it apart from any major chain store nearby is the friendly service from staff. If you're a petrol head who knows what he's doing - they can talk your language. But I'd you're a car dunce (as I am) then Shane, Kevin and the team don't think twice about offering you guidance and helping you fit standard parts such as windscreen wipers and hub caps. Great service! There is free parking outside the store and plenty of free Street parking around the Square too.

Shirley Auto Spares is a small, independent car parts shop located on the Shirley stretch of the…read moreStratford Road. They stock a surprisingly good range (for a small shop) of car parts and accessories, and are just down the road from a large Ford dealership, so if you're pulling away in a new Focus or Fiesta and suddenly have an insatiable urge to buy an air freshener, then it's very convenient! They do all the regular parts that you'd expect, wiper blades, batteries, wing mirrors etc., and if you need a part they don't have, they're more than happy to order it in for you. I'm always slightly apprehensive when going into small independent shops such as this as I always worry that all their products will be brands that I've never heard, but Shirley Auto Spares carries a bunch of big name brands, such as Bosch and NGK, so you know that their products will be of a good quality, and the staff seem to love what they do, and are always extremely helpful.

Ample off-road parking is available right outside the store and several bus stops are within walking distance, so you'll have no trouble getting there either.
