In the five years I have l lived back in Southampton I have used this garage on several occasions and have always been extremely impressed. As a single woman there is always a concern that you run the risk of being ripped off. The first time I went to Station Garage was for a second opinion after the main BMW dealer told me I needed a new catalytic converter due to a hairline crack for which they were going to charge me £1,200. Station Garage inspected the car and said that if a new one was required they could do it for £800, however after inspection, they could not find any crack and therefore a new one was not needed, that was five years ago and I still have the original one installed. On another occasion I put the car in as there was a dashboard engine management system light showing. They kept the car for the day and as they could find no fault did not charge me for their time or trouble. My most recent experience was yesterday. Having quoted me £875 for replacing the roof motor (BMW Z4) they had the car for two days and on collection I was told that they hadn't done it in the allotted time quoted but in fact had done it quicker which brought the cost down to £665.00. They could have easily charged me the original quoted price and I would have been none the wiser. I have and will always continue to recommend this garage. I also have friends who are car mechanics and they have told me how highly they rate Neil the owner. It is also nice that they have Andrea on reception who is always very friendly and knowledgeable. Again as a single female dealing with a woman feels less intimidating for me personally. read more
