Being new to the area, I had no previous experience of nearby car body repair shops. Searching online I was initially impressed with the website and visited their office. The front desk were very friendly and helpful and I was confident in booking my car in for repair. The work was done as planned and the repair work was excellent, and topped off with a complete valet of the car.

I’ve been coming to J Day for years, and have stayed with them despite moving home some distance away. They’ll always go the extra mile to get things sorted in next to no time, and are a lovely team, to boot. I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else. Neither should you!

I have had many cars over the years from Mercedes, BMW, Audi and have always come to J Day as opposed to main dealers, even for new cars that are under warranty, because of their professional and courteous manner. I cannot fault them for the 15 plus years I have been using them. I have had problems with main dealers saying that I need to spend £1,000.00 plus on a vehicle only to bring it to J Day to find out that that was incorrect. I cannot recommend them highly enough and long may they continue.

Second time using them for an MOT and both times shocked by their elevated prices, non-negotiable stance, tendency to storm you with multiple staff members flatly refusing to allow you to question the work done, not sticking to a price quoted, and in my opinion - taking advantage of the situation. In addition my vehicle went in with a working radio and came out without it working. A query they agreed to investigate on the phone, became a non event by the time the vehicle was collected. Sure they’re “friendly”, and offer you free coffee, but that’s not what you’re there for. I left feeling bullied, and will not recommend them to anyone.

I have been using this company for nearly ten years and during that period, the service given has never been less than one hundred per cent. Their knowledge, professionalism and skills put them on a par with Main Dealers but without Main Dealer costs. I travel a reasonable distance to use their services and they always go the extra mile to accommodate me. So it's a big thank you to James, Steve, Tom and the Workshop and I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a Garage they can trust. You just keep getting better and better. The Coffee's not bad either.

My First Port Of Call In The Future!
Customer Service

This is the first time I have used J-Day Engineering and as a result they will be my first port of call in the future for my car needs. J-Day conducted a 'major' service on my Ford Focus yesterday. I dropped the car into them first thing in the morning and was told that, if all well, then my car should be ready in the afternoon. True to their word - I received a call informing me my car was ready at 1430 with no issues found. The cost was as that quoted on the email Estimate I asked for a few days' earlier. The cost was reasonable and competitive. Great extra touch of Customer Service by way of a valet and, as well as annotating my Ford Service Booklet, they provided their own J-Day Servicing Booklet for my future use. The staff were courteous, friendly, and very professional. The reception and premises looked to be very-well run. J-Day Engineering is highly recommended for your car maintenance needs.

My partner took her car to the "nearest" garage with windscreen wiper issues. They broke the wipers whilst removing them (not needed to be removed), quoted her £195 to fix everything (new wipers, new motor) and charged her £30 for the inspection. We were shocked so took it to JDAY for a 2nd opinion after a friend had recommended them. All fixed, same day, no parts needed, fixed damage and charged £20. Thank you JDAY. Now that's good, honest service. Our advice to you? Just don't go anywhere else
