About

We are an Independent VW Audi specialist but cater for all makes of cars and light vans.

Clover Autos Ltd was established in 1980 by Ronnie Fern M.I.MechE, A.A.E, I.Eng, M.I.M.I. after a five year VW & Audi apprenticeship with Abridge Engineering and then working for GTi Engineering at Silverstone Race Circuit building racing VW Golf GTis and Audi 80 GLEs, helping them win the British Touring Car Championship with Stirling Moss, Richard Lloyd and Tony Lanfranchi in 1979. Brother Dave Fern M.Diag.E soon joined him when he started up Clover Autos servicing, repairing and maintaining road cars and vans. They then set about building their renowned local reputation.

This is the 2nd year Clover Autos have MOT'd my car and both times they have been amazing (better than the well known dealer i normally take my car!). Whats re-assuring about Clover is you can tell how much pride they take in thier work from the moment you walk into reception as you can see all the certficate of excellance on the wall! I was also shown exactly what needed replacing to get my car through the MOT (again re-asurring). During the process i was kept up-to-date even resonding to an email at 0722 in the morning to let me know the process for my retest. All in all as always a great experiance with Clover which i would recommend to anyone.

Brake fluid change

Brake fluid change recommended by Audi Franchise dealer. Quoted a very reasonable price, completed work on time and at agreed cost. All very straightforward and efficient. It's good to support a local business. They also updated the central Audi service record with the work completed. Very pleased and I will use them again.

Cam belt and MOT and some additional work found along the way. I was expecting it to take longer, but the work was completed in a day. The cost was higher than originally discussed, but Clover phoned and discussed the additional costs before going ahead with the work. They also showed me the additional worn out parts when I collected my car. I first used Clover 2 years ago, I was looking for a local garage with a courtesy car as I have a long drive to work. Clover advertised as a VW specialist. An initial visit to them, I received a friendly welcome and viewed a clean and tidy workshop with an interesting range of cars being worked on. This was my 5th visit to them (due to my higher mileage) and still a very happy customer.

Clover Autos were recommended by a friend and I’ve only taken my VW Caddy to them for 4yrs now. Always happy with the work done - they let you know what they’re going to do and then do it in good time. I find their front of house chap helpful, approachable & accommodating. I trust them with my pride & joy and recommend them to all.

Loss of power caused by faulty throttle potentiometer

I dropped my car off and after explaining the loss of power, was greeted by Ronnie, the owner, who was an extremely polite, professional and understanding man. He treated me as if I was his only customer and asked me lots of questions to help him better understand the problem. He explained a thorough diagnosis would be conducted using a computer and visual inspection to ascertain the problem. He loaned me a hire car(no charge!) and explained he would contact me ASAP with his findings, which he did. The problem was caused by a faulty throttle potentiometer which was changed and the old parts were left in a box in my car; they like to let customers see which parts have been changed. Again Ronnie was extremely polite, professional and not rushed when explaining everything they did in detail. I unhesitatingly recommend Clover Autos for being a breath of fresh air in delivering outstanding customer service in an honest, polite, and professional manner. As a teacher with over 10 years experience delivering customer service courses, I speak with some authority on the subject. Bravo Clover Autos, I will not allow any other mechanic to work on my car, but you.

Went to Clover Autos with a problem on my ABS, they were so good, kept me informed at all points, and fixed it, whilst keeping the cost down. I will always take my car here for further services and repairs, they do a great job, while being honest, pleasant and not ripping you off.

The Clover Auto guys fitted me in at short notice for a last-minute MOT on our Audi A1, which they did whilst I waited and watched. All ran to time, very thorough and all done with sensible Covid precautions. We had the car serviced at Clover late last year too. They really know their Audi's and, like other reviews on this site mention, are always very transparent, explaining carefully what work needs doing and why, and the pricing options. Wouldn't take our Audi anywhere else.

I had a problem with the catch mechanism on the driver's door of my VW Passat; it could not be opened from the outside and the handle appeared to be broken. I called Clover on Friday morning and they told me to bring it in. By lunchtime they had stripped the door to ensure they got to the root of the problem. Luckily for me, they found that it was not necessary to replace the whole lock, and somehow managed to repair the handle too. Both these parts would have been very expensive. They diagnosed the problem as the cable between the handle and lock, which had deteriorated and needed replacing. The cost of the part was just £11. Despite trying, they were unfortunately unable to get the cable that afternoon, otherwise the whole repair would have been completed same day. By lunchtime on Monday they called to confirm the repair was finished and that I could collect the car at my convenience. First class service from a polite and professional team that clearly know Volkswagens inside out! Highly recommended.
