Lovely independent business! I booked my car in for an MOT and they took great care of it; Zack explained the advisories super clearly and answered all my questions which is really appreciated. Will definitely come back!

Since the loss of Wood and Pickett, I've been searching for a local garage/repair shop to take care of my classic Mini - and now I've found it! Very knowledgeable crew, approachable, bang on the money with costs too. 10/10 would recommend (especially for fellow Mini owners).

Joe's team have done a great job repairing my Saab 9-3 the lights the handbrake under 2 hours, I had a load of questions, they answered them all, I will definitely come back here for my MOT and full services, you have gained a new customer keep up the good work!

Elmwood Vehicles - 5 Stars Elmwood Vehicles has been my go-to place for car repairs for years. Their technicians are highly skilled, and the work is always done professionally and at a fair market price. I drive a 2000 Honda Civic, which is practically a vintage vehicle at this point, and they’ve always taken great care of both the car and me as a customer. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality service is unmatched. Highly recommend! Five stars of excellence from a very happy customer!

Can't speak highly enough of these guys! Feel so lucky to have found them. They are honest, fair, efficient and super friendly. Meg and team are a pleasure to deal with and go out of their way to help and make things as seamless as feasibly possible. Highly recommend 😎

I can recommend the Elmwood team for their extensive knowledge, excellent customer service and fair prices. Thanks to Elmwood for the recent service and MOT at short notice. Much appreciated!

I have been going to ELMWOOD VEHICLES LTD and the service is incredible! I cannot recommend them enough. Although I live far from them but I still choose to use them for my car and the service speaks itself. Firstly they give us a very early appointment and secondly they keep us updated with every single thing so we don’t worry about anything. Thank you for the brilliant service you provide us, I will be coming to you all the time and I will definitely be recommending you to everyone I know.

Our car broke down on the motorway near Reigate and we managed to crawl to Holmesdale Garage. Richard was absolutely amazing - attended to the car straightaway, took the time to explain to us the reason for the breakdown, and swiftly got the car running and back on the road. If we could give more than five stars, we certainly would! Thank you!!

I bought my first car from Holmesdale Garage in 1991. I’ve been a customer of the garage owner since then, and am still going back 30 years later. I’m about an hour’s drive away but I won’t trust anyone else - every time I’ve tried anyone local to me now, I’ve always got my fingers burned! They’ve always been solid, competent, professional, open, honest. And busy, too, which is a good sign.

Absolutely fantastic the guys couldn’t find a problem with my clutch after much testing all at no charge. Highly recommended can’t say good enough things about them

Should have left a review a while ago! Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and actually fix the problem(s) with my car as opposed to fobbing me off or trying to sting me. Highly recommended and simply the best garage I've ever used! I don't say this lightly.

Honest and reliable! I've been using Mount Garage for years and always found them to be honest, reliable and helpful. They've never "upsold" unnecessary work, nor have they done work without prior consultation. I've always found them to be utterly trustworthy. Really wish I could add another review for this company but Google doesn't allow it sadly. So I'll update it; had an oil leak and was concerned about it. Took my van to the garage and they fixed it for me. They're a garage and only doing what they're supposed to, so why the review? Over the years I've found them to be trustworthy and upfront, helpful and friendly. Nobody enjoys the stress of an unwell vehicle and the cost if repairs, bit going to Mount Garage has certainly taken out the anxiety of it all for me. If you're looking for a genuine place to care for your car, look no further. This small, independent garage is PERFECT.

Legendary. Broke down and they diagnosed my car for nothing. Great place

I'm so grateful that we've got this garage locally. I've used them for the last nearly nine years and they've always been great at working out the problem and dealing with it efficiently. Really importantly I trust them to be honest about the problems and their charges are really fair. On more than one occasion they haven't charged or have charged a minimum for a minor issue. You don't feel as if they are trying just to make as much money as possible from their customers - but that they are looking after their customers. The communication is really good and I can't speak highly enough of them.

We've taken our cars to this garage since we moved to the area about 8 years ago and they are always excellent. Honest, friendly, and the prices are reasonable. Today they helped me out of a jam as I desperately needed a small fix before a long journey. They squeezed the job in at 5 minutes notice and wouldn't even take my money. Highly recommended!

Long term customer, MOT and car repairs. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and will always advised before doing work so won't get a surprise bill!

As a family, we have used Banstead Road Garage for over 25 years for our numerous cars! The staff are always very approachable and very knowledgeable. Last week we had a problem with one of our cars which needed to be seen to as a matter of urgency. Natalie, at the front desk, advised us to take the car to the garage and both Sam and Mateus sorted the problem out for us there and then. I understand that Mateus has recently joined the staff and what an asset he is! Thank you to Dave and Andy for running such an amazing business which I always recommend to my friends.

The team here have maintained my cars for over 20 years now, including all servicing and (sadly) one crash repair. Their work has always been both faultless and well priced, and Brian's attitude on the desk is exemplary.

Been frequenting this garage for 30 years or more. Always great service, Fair priced and great work. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Have always been a little wary of garages but the team at Taylor’s we’re fantastic , servicing my sons car and doing his MOT. They gave me great advice and recommendations for the future but there were no ‘surprise’ costs or repairs needed, when I received my call saying it had passed its MOT and was ready to collect. Highly recommend them for a fair , honest and professional service.

I have been using Brian Taylor Autos for over 15+ years. He has been Fabulous. I trust Brian as he comes across as honest, reasonable transparent pricing, and the work has been completed/done in a timely fashion. I strongly recommend this garage.

Brilliant service as always, 5 stars isn't enough. I have used RMC for a good few years now for servicing and M.O.T's but on this occasion I had a problem with the alternater. When I brought this car i took out warranty with a third party company and I thought trying to claim anything would be a headache, however, RMC went above and beyond for me, diagnosed the problem, dealt with the warranty company and fixed it in a couple of days, I was updated every step of the way and now I'm back on the road! Top stuff from these guys, keep doing what your doing.

Have been to RMC a few times now and the service is always exceptional. They did not charge for diagnostic testing of an engine light and investigated a clunking sound in my wheel. There was nothing wrong with the wheel and they were upfront with that information. The engine light was also clearly explained to me, investigated for fault and cleared as there was no fault found. They are clearly committed to honesty and customer satisfaction. Prices for work recommended by my usual garage were remarkably reasonable. Great willingness to provide advice on car maintenance and issues. Their friendly demeanor and transparency make every visit a reassuring experience. Highly recommended.

Never take my vehicle anywhere else. I get a first-class and professional service at Reigate motor company. The guys there are very accommodating and are always there to advise. Always recommend Reigate Motors company to friends, family and work colleagues. Thanks guys

Gareth and his team are fantastic. They have completed work on my car and my partners van. Servicing, general maintenance, MOTS you name it. Always friendly, always good and fair prices and go above and beyond to fit you in to suit work/life. Knowledgeable and honest too and I don't think you can get better than that if you are having your car or van looked at. I would certainly recommend them without a doubt and I do regularly.

I have been using surry garage since I moved to the area 3 years ago. I have always found them honest up front and most importantly fast at working on my car from servicing to fault finding and MOT. Always in touch with progress/ options. The best thing about them is they will try to fix, maintain a part rather than instantly buying a new part like a main dealer. See you for the next MOT soon! Best, Will

As a female it can be intimidating bringing your car to a mechanics hearing costly horror stories from people as well as going into a male dominated area but Surrey garage couldn’t be further from this stereotype and am pleased to say myself, sister, brother, father & mother have all had great experiences with them. They are honest, realistic and knowledgeable. Thank you Surrey garage :)

We love Surrey Garage. We've used them for approximately 5 years or so - probably longer. We've found them to be very honest and completely up front with their costings. They even tell you when the car has a bigger issue that may be on the horizon before fixing a minor fault. Last time we put a car in they recommended leaving some work that wasn't an absolute immediate fix - we decided to get it done but we wish we'd actually listened to that advice, as a week later our son wrote his car off! We would highly recommend them and as a family of 5 we have a few cars that regularly are checked over and MOT'd by them and we can't recommend them highly enough. Thanks Surrey Garage if only all mechanics were like you guys!

I just picked up my Renault Kangoo from Three Arch Garage in Redhill, Surrey and am delighted with their service. A warning light had come on and I was well over the mileage when the service should have been done so I was very worried that there would be a big bill. There was not, my battery was just low as I only do very short journeys and the price on the full service was very good also. The young, pleasant receptionist took her time to explain everything to me and I am also impressed by the paperwork where they tick all the boxes of every item that was checked and seen to. The thoroughness of their Technician Ryan is impressive and I am recommending their business to anyone whom has a car! Oh, the reason I didn't go to my usual garage Renault in Croydon was that I had to wait several weeks (3) before it could be seen and I needed it asap, especially as I am going on holiday to Amsterdam with my car soon. Here at this garage they could see me within a few days and it is also not far from my house, so it made sense. I will from now have my car serviced here. Thank you very much!
