This is the second time of using DJ Garage Services and once again I was really impressed with the customer service, speed of repair and overall professionalism. It is always good to be able to deal directly with the hands-on proprietor rather than a receptionist at the main dealer. Chris kept me in touch with the progress of the work throughout the entire process with clear explanations plus the added benefit of being able to talk directly to the mechanic and being shown the problem. You can trust the advice you are being given. Their work is top quality. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending D J Garage Services. An excellent job done in a professional manner.

We have used DJ Garages for over 25 years for the annual servicing of our cars, MOTs and any other work needed. Our most recent visit was with a problem relating to work required following a fuel contamination issue. Chris set out clearly the options available to allow us to reach an informed decision on the best way forward. Once agreed, the work was carried out promptly, to our complete satisfaction. Echoing many other reviews, we would definitely recommend DJ Garage to all for their professionalism, honesty, care, and value for money.

Significant service for my MX-5 at 10 years, plus MOT. Good value, very convenient. Always give useful feedback on what was found, what may need attention at the next service or needs doing sooner. When I think back to how much I used to pay the main dealers for so little, and how little they knew about the cars, I am much happier to trust my car(s) to Chris.

Having previously used DJ's for all servicing of my vehicle, and always been very satisfied with the outcome, following the purchase of a new vehicle I was suckered into buying a 2-year service plan from the dealer. This experience allowed me to really appreciate what differentiates DJ's in particular from the main dealers. When dealing with the team at DJ's I have repeatedly been impressed by their honest, trustworthy and efficient service that is delivered in a very friendly manner. Following recent damage to my vehicle that required a replacement part, further to an onsite inspection, I was contacted within a short space of time with an estimate that included the industry guidelines in terms of the four man hours required. Having agreed to the work, on collecting the vehicle I was advised that the work had been completed in just 2.5 hours, with the corresponding positive impact on the final invoice. I would recommend DJ's without hesitation to anyone for their vehicle servicing needs.

I was recommended to Chris and his team by a long term customer who has dealt with the team for many years. As I am out of the local area it was really important that I felt I could trust them. They gave me advice over the phone and suggested various courses of action that did not make them any money. I had a deadline for my cars work to be done and decided to take it to them. Just 24 hours after leaving the car with them they had been able to sort out the issue and at a lower cost than anticipated. I asked them to do some servicing work and they were able to keep the car a few more days to do this. When I came to pickup my A8 I was very surprised at how great and honest my final bill was. Other garages in the past have managed to inflate the bill or add extra work without consulting me. Chris was always there to take my call, answer my questions and finally give me a bill which was 100% sensible. I have now left my wife's car with them and am sure I will receive the same kind and thoughtful service and sensible bill again when the work is done. I cannot recommend highly enough this garage, if you can get to them you will not regret it. After all of the poor experiences I have had in the last 30+ years of motoring D J Garage is a wonderful breath of fresh air which I wish all car owners could have.

In the last 50 years, I have used many garages but this one is up with the best. Doesn't matter which make of car, new or old they have always given me good service. Over the last 20years just once was there a small problem. One phone call and without hesitation they came and collected the car and returned it to the door all sorted. It's a family run business rather than one of these big shiny outfits that I often found would squeeze whatever money they could from you via those little extras. The big outfits send you a video of the underside of the car after every MOT which really does nothing at all for the customer as they try to look flashy. So forgo the video and expect a job well done at a fair price

Investigate a software problem post-Citroen brake software safety recall
Customer Service

The nearest Citroen garage carried out a brake system software update on our DS3 in response to a safety recall. The car developed an engine problem causing it to judder and loose power. Called into our local D J Garage to see if they could help. They were friendly and helpful as always and tried hard to identify the problem. However, the software in the car had been corrupted and D J Garage were unable to access the system to resolve the problem but were able to advise us on how to deal with it. D J Garage declined to charge us for their work. Following D J Garage's advice, we were able to get the car back to the Citroen garage where they managed to establish via remote access by the Citroen technical people that the update had corrupted the fuel management software and then to remotely to replace the software. We thoroughly recommend D J Garage for the knowledge, quality of work, and helpfulness. Were are lucky to have such an outfit in our locality.

I have been using DJ Garage Services for over 15 years and would not consider taking my car anywhere else, even though I have moved out of the immediate area. This friendly family Company cannot be faulted when it comes to professionalism, knowledgeability, reliability and cost. I have recommended others and all have come away with the same impression. Service cannot be faulted in any way
