Diagnosis and repair which several other garages had failed to resolve.
I own an Audi A4 which was registered in 2008 and has 190000 miles on the clock. For about 2 years I have had a sooty and burning smell inside and outside of the car. I have asked 3 different garages to try to diagnose and repair the car which I have had serviced every 10000 miles and have looked after. I contacted Autocraft to discuss whether a terraclean procedure might solve my problem. I spoke with Lynne who seemed very knowledgable and suggested that I should take my car into their premises to allow them to attempt to diagnose the problem before committing to a terraclean procedure which is quite expensive. I took my car into the garage where a computer test and smoke test were carried out by obviously expert engineers. Neither of the procedures detected the problem, so they carried out further examinations on the ramp. They established that there was an issue with the exhaust system that required a replacement part . I have very little knowledge of cars but was advised of the problem that existed. I left my car at the garage overnight and picked it up the following day. There is a huge improvement in the performance of the car and the smell of smoke and exhaust fumes has disappeared. I am very happy with the result and have no hesitation in recommending Autocraft to anyone who is looking for first class service and great customer service.

Always helpful
Autocraft were recommended to me about 12 months ago and have exceeded my expectations. My Mercedes is not new but they are assisting me to make sure we keep it on the road for a few more years. All work has been excellent to date.

Saved our car
They quickly recovered car in Pontypridd and took it back to Maindy. They quickly sourced a part and fitted it promptly so we could be on our way whilst Halfords wanted to keep the car for a few days. Nothing is too small to ask and they are always willing to help a damsel in distress. Poem: My alternator blew, My Yaris was dead. When a brilliant thought popped into my head. I called Autocraft who fixed it the same day. Without costing an arm or a leg, I was happy to pay.

A high standard of service
Phoned to book an MOT this morning. Told to bring car by 11:00. MOT completed in a short time. I've used this garage for 5+ years and it's the best in 40 years of motoring.

Good service
Jason' our car mechanic gave a great deal of attention to our Landrover Discovery & tracked down an electrical fault. He didn't give up or throw money at the problem unnecessarily.
