Car maintenance is very expensive these days but also not very necessary. I trust the trader to do what he says he has done and for which I have paid him. He has, said trust, from me.

I am not going back for sure. I was not lucky enough like others. Took car for MOT which had 4 failures as below: 1) Nearside front shock absorber has a serious fluid leak(2.7.3) 2) Offside front shock absorber has a serious fluid leak(2.7.3) 3) Offsidefront suspension arm ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt(2.4.G.2) 4) Parking brake:efficiency below requirements(3.7.B.7) These costed me way beyond what could one expect. £624 in total, Out of which £270 + VAT which was total £324 just for labor and parts which were £210 but they added VAT on top so parts which if I would have bought myself costed me just £210 costed total £252 an extra £42. I was told when the MOT failed they would fix I shouldn't worry, they would check price of parts and let me know, they never called me to provide a price, I didn't hear from them so I called at around 04:30 PM and they then advised after whole day gone, 'your car has been on a mission' it would be costly fix around £500 this was a shock to me but did I had any option now? I was not given any impression it would be this high a cost before they started working on it, when I initially enquired I was told £50 for MOT and £125 + VAT = £150 for full service, so if full service which is basically 3 hrs lets add another of couple hours for parts being rusty that still doesn't justifies £324 just labor cost.

I must point out that as a VAT registered company we have to charge VAT on all invoices & even if you bought your own parts you would have been charged VAT by the supplier. Our phone records show I rang you at 12.07 pm-Call not answered. You called me back at 12.08pm. I informed you of the details of the failure & gave an estimated cost to replace the front shock absorbers & the suspension arm. of £240 plus VAT for the parts The approximate cost of labour would be 4 hours at £60 plus VAT. The handbrake fault was not diagnosed at that time.You gave your permission to go ahead with the repairs as you needed the MOT. You rang me at 4:38 pm for an update on the car. At this time I informed you that we were having trouble removing the parts due to the rusty bolts being seized and we were having to heat and clean the threads with a tap and die set. Therefore the car would not be ready until the following morning. When you collected your car, I took time to show you the parts we replaced and the repair times given by Autodata of 5.3 hours. I only charged you 4.5 hours even though we took extra time to free off the seized bolts. I must also point out that we only charged you £69 plus VAT = £82.80 for the Boge shock absorbers, which, for comparison, is cheaper than any on the Euro car parts website. The same applies for the suspension arm. I apologise for any shortcomings and will definitely learn from your complaint. I've sent you Euro Car Parts prices & a more detailed reply

I have been a customer of HMC for the past 4 years. I had my VW Golf serviced recentely, Forte oil & fuel treatment, engine oil, oil filteer,air filter, spark plugs brake pads, brake discs, brake caliper, brake cleaner/fluid/environmental disposal. I am very happy with the results. I discovered HMC through "Which Traders" after so many unhappy experiences with garages in the area. I have no hesitation in recommending HMC.

This splendid garage always offers the very best service at very reasonable prices. Gary Butler, the proprietor, is always genial and most informative. Nothing is too much trouble for him. We have been associated for many years now. I can't speak too highly of him and his work.

Took my car to Gary and colleagues for its MOT on this visit, and they were professional and friendly - outlining all my options. I was satisfied with the outcome and will come back next time. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services.
