I have been using Bourne Motors for about 10 years going back to when I drove Saabs. I've got to know Bob and Andrew more or less as friends as they have always given me candid and helpful advice and carried out any work quickly and efficiently at a very good price. I trust their advice and work without any reservations. They give advice any time of day and on the phone and if I have popped down to have something checked or a bulb changed the charges have been minimal. It might sound corny but it gives me a very warm feeling to have these blokes looking after my car. My ancient soft top might need major surgery soon and I need objective advice on the viability - there is nowhere else I would go.

We were very lucky when we lived in Hertfordshire to find a garage who were extremely reliable and are equally fortunate that since we moved down to the South Coast we have found another in Bourne Motors. Last Thursday they did another great job with the annual service and arranging the MOT for our old, but much loved Corsa. They are always very friendly and have a great bottle of hand sanitizer on their front desk which is additionally important in these difficult times!

My car went in for a service and MOT but the MOT highlighted a significant structural problem requiring welding. Bourne Motors arranged for the problem to be remedied by a local specialist, keeping me fully informed on progress. After the work was completed leading to an MOT pass, they explained in detail all the things that had been done as well as advising on matters that would need action in the longer term. My review reflects the quality of the work carried out, the communication and helpfulness of the staff.

As always prompt, professional service. The only garage I have been to that I do not feel at a disadvantage being female. The team explain what needs to be done clearly and then do it at a reasonable price.

My cars alternator broke down. After the AA identified the fault I ran Bourne's who said "Don't worry, bring it in and we we'll sort it" and they did in the time frame they gave. As always they were professional and reassuring.

We put both of our vehicles in to Bourne Motors for a service and MOT every year. They have always been very helpful and friendly with a high standard of work. I would recommend this company to anyone.

They have been servicing three of our vehicles when the official Saab dealer messed up a service and overcharged us. Bob and Co know Saabs inside out and after excellent service, advice and customer care.

My Mercedes Convertible was due an MOT. The work was carried out by Bourne Motors (who I have had work done by before). They advised of rust under car. Car passed the MOT, but I sold the car and bought one from them. It is excellent.
