Recently had our car serviced and everything carried out competently and professional. However one point I was slightly aggrevied with was on the price originally quoted before the service and the price(s) detailed on the final invoice. In two weeks between quote and work carried out I'm not a 100% sure a price increase of 10 to 20% on oil, pollen and oil filters can be justified or perhaps the inaccuracies on the original quotation was the problem. Perhaps more price accuracy on the quote would be more helpful and less of a suprise when the bill is presented.

Thank you so much for your time taken to review us. It means a huge amount to the team here and ensures that standards are maintained or improvements made where required. I am sorry to hear that there was any disappointment in your visit. Very occasionally we do encounter this scenario and whilst it is rare I would like to offer some mitigation. 1) The creation of an estimate is actually done in the front of house and allows us to choose prefilled details such as oil quantities and viscosities, there could be a disparity in these costs, we have also recently changed lubricant suppliers and have suffered a few inaccuracies. 2) Also we sometimes have found that suppliers have a speciality deal on some brands of filtration etc Unless we build the job directly from our estimate we can (and annoyingly do) sometimes not acquire parts from the same supplier that provided the parts estimate. We are working on a strategy to eradicate this scenario. If you would like to pop in I would happily reimburse you for any differences you have observed between our estimate and invoice.

Just to say the customer service, quality of work second to none especially when the cost was 50% less than what a main dealer would have charged me.

I was recommended J. Day Engineering by the RAC as I was having a problem with my clutch. Fortunately they were open on a Saturday and I was able to book my car in within the next 10 days. (The earliest time the local BMW dealership could offer was just over 2 months) a member of staff kept me updated throughout the day and my car was ready on the same afternoon, with the final invoice being less than the original quote. I would highly recommend J.Day Engineering and will definitely be employing their services again in the future.

Having realised my MOT need re-doing, immediately, J Day Engineering set a time and date that meant I would be able to full fill my legal responsibilities to be able to remain “on the road”, all done with a great level of friendliness, at the time they said they would, and enabling me to return home while the work was done.
