Excellent service, car returned in good condition. J Day sent a estimate invoice for potential work after my MOT. This gives me a good understanding of costs and what work is required.

A friend recommended J Day Engineering when I first moved to the area 5 years ago. I have taken my car to them ever since for services, MOTs and repairs. I have found them to be consistently and exceptionally helpful, honest and professional with their advice and the work they have carried out. Most recently I sought their advice after my car was involved in an accident. The garage my insurance company sent me to insisted I needed a new air conditioning unit but J Day Engineering told me it had not been damaged and was working perfectly. Earlier in the week I asked them to take a look at my lights as I was getting inconsistent dashboard alerts and was due to undertake a long journey the next day. They fitted me in within the hour, checked out the lights and the warning system, replaced a bulb and didn't charge me anything.

I was experiencing problems with my car and had taken it to 2 garages but still had the problem. In December I moved back to Sherborne in Dorset. That when I found J Day engineering in Henstridge. They carried out several tests and repairs . Then today 15 January 26 they had to fit a part. This garage is absolutely amazing. I was corresponding with Karl. But having to pop in to see the team. The service I received was absolutely amazing. Went out of their way to help me. And an accommodate me very well. I highly recommend this garage to anyone. And I will definitely be going back to use them again. A very big big thank you to J Day engineering and all the staff and team.

I phoned J Day at 8am 10/11/2025 to report my car Audi Allroad TDi A4 Quattro would not start they arrived at my house at 8.25am jump started it and returnded to their garage. They replaced my old battery with a new battery, also kept me informed regarding the cost and returned my car to my house in Stalbridge at 2.15pm. I think you would agree that is an excellent service. Thats more than half the cost Audi Yeovil wanted and they wanted 2 days to get the battery.

Attention to detail
Impressive work yet again from the J Day Engineering Team! I find it so reassuring to take my 2004 Audi TT to J Day - the mechanics spent hours making it roadworthy after I bought it in Autumn 2004 for £1,000. J Day have just completed its second Full Annual Service and they took time to explain what had been done and what may need to be done in the future. Approachable, informative, helpful. They appear to work with passion and it drives like a dream. Thanks for all the hard work!

I visited J Days out of the blue with a punctured tyre on my car and they bent over backwards to get me back on the road as soon as they could. I didn't even need to get down on my knees and beg, and I am so very grateful to the guys who are always as helpful as possible to each customers unique situation. Also the bill was more than reasonable and the service recieved better than I could have dreamed! A very happy customer.

As usual, the staff were friendly and helpful when I arrived. The service was done competently, as was the MOT. And my unexpected (to them) request to collect the car early to travel to an appointment was met with time to spare. I can't recommend this company highly enough.

We have been using J Day Engineering for quite a few years for a range of cars from modern saloons to older type Defender to classic cars and the service has always been excellent and very helpful indeed when we have ebbs in a mess with cars and we have had other complicating issues. This week I left my house keys and key ring for another car on the counter by mistake and they kindly dropped them round - the person lives nearby.

Another professional, slick service and Mot from JDays, who always consults before carrying out additional work. Staff are courteous, polite, and have a good sense of humour, which makes them fun to deal with. Our garage is of choice for both our cars.

Unscheduled tyre replacement

Just heading off to work, I managed to find a screw with my tyre sidewall less than a mile from home. AA suggested a couple of places 10 miles away, but I thought I'd check with JDAY, as they're within 4. Not only did they have a suitable tyre on the shelf, thanks to a cancellation (which they called me back regarding) they fitted me in immediately! Speedy replacement and a very considerate team!

The air conditioning system in my Mini Countryman Cooper SD was no longer functioning. J Day quickly discovered the issue, and my vehicle was repaired one week later with a new air conditioning radiator and recharge. The works only took one morning, causing me minimal inconvenience. As always, I was very pleased with J Day’s work.
