I needed an MOT urgently as I forgot to renew it and only had a short time to sort it. Despite being really busy Dave and Ron juggled their work to fit me in so that I could back on the road safely. I also had problems with the coolant system and I asked them they investigate the issues. Due to problems to access the screws to get the coolant system it was possible they would have had to remove the engine or gearbox but I can’t remember which to take them off. However they communicated this to me and advised of the worst case scenario but they also had another solution to explore that would be be cheaper but no guarantee it would work. I gave the go ahead to explore the cheapest option and it worked. They saved me lots of money. These guys are very trustworthy and do not rip people off. Fantastic communication during the whole process. I also had regular updates and they got me back on the road fairly quickly. I only wished I knew they were there before. The prices are also reasonable in comparison to others I’ve used before and the workmanship is great too. I would definitely recommend Clover Autos and I have recommended them to my son and he is going there today. I will be using them from now on. Thank you guys Caroline

A/C problem on an ageing Audi A3 sorted very promptly with full explanation, in advance, on diagnostics required and, on collection, of work completed. The car has been here a few times over the years and Ron's approach has been consistently excellent.....consequently no hesitation in recommending Clover Autos.

Recently after hitting a large pot hole My Nissan Qashqai has been making a strange rattling and clunking noise which was coming from under the front passenger side tyre. I took my car to a garage in Harlow who told me I needed a new gear box which would be nearly £3k. I questioned it straight away and wanted a 2nd opinion. I took my car to Clover autos and they looked at the car for me. After only waiting 30mins Dave from Clover informed me the issue was only the leg mounting nut and a bolt from the sub frame that was loose! They tightened them both up and the problem was solved. Only cost me £85 instead of £3k!! Can’t thank them enough. Great company and amazing service. I will now be taking my car here for anything that needs doing! Thanks again. Liam

Have used Clover Autos for a few years following recommendation from a colleague. Both service and MOT carried out recently. Extra work is always discussed beforehand, with work done promptly and to budget. There are no extras such as cleaning of the vehicle as you might experience at a dealership but the seats are always carefully protected during maintenance. Overall an honest and trustworthy company to deal with.

Dave, his brother and the crew at Clover Autos serviced and MOT'd my 2014 VW Passat on numerous occasions during my ownership and generally kept me on the road and safe. Their work was always done on a timely basis, usually for a couple of hours during the morning and always with the car ready to collect on my way home from work. Their knowledge of the car and ability to diagnose actual and emerging issues was invaluable. And despite using authorised parts I never felt I was being overcharged to the extent that I was, on occasion, surprised by how low some of the bills were - a very pleasant outcome. Whatever was fixed was fixed well and issues didn't recur which was reassuring as the car approached the end of its life - I knew it was the car failing and not a fault with the work by Clover Autos. Eventually, an end-of-life issue was diagnosed by Clover Autos and, with typical honesty, rather than persuade me to pay for the fix they advised that it wasn't worth it. We traded the car in soon after and avoided running it until it was only worth scrap value. The trade-in vs scrap value alone saved me all the money I'd spent at Clover Autos. So thanks Dave and crew, you were literally worth every penny!

My Audi TT was misfiring and I was looking for a local specialist. I found Clover and it’s apparent that they know what they’re doing having diagnosed the fault quickly and guided me through what was needed, I was back on the road in no time. Have since been back for a DSG gearbox service. The pricing is very competitive compared to the main dealer and with genuine Audi parts used. I have complete confidence leaving my car here and would recommend Clover to everyone.

Clover Autos provided me with excellent service in fixing two long standing problems on my Audi A4 Salon. I had spent a frustrating 18 months and a small fortune with my local Audi dealer. They failed to fix either of the problems and even gave me the impression they didn’t really understand them. Clover Autos on the other hand diagnosed both faults within a couple of hours and had them both fixed after receiving the replacement parts. My Audi A4 now drives like a new car. Very, very happy. Thank you, Dave.

I phoned clovers as I had a lumpy tick over on my van I couldn’t use the van as worried I would breakdown I spoke to David and he said to bring the van in and he would squeeze me in to find the problem. I left my van with him he then phoned me the next day letting me know what the problem was and cost of repairs. The work was carried out the next day as he knew I couldn’t work without the van I also had a knocking noise from the back he found the problem as another garage couldn’t When picking the van up the bill was slightly less than quoted and he even showed me the parts that were replaced. great service and trustworthy people
