Simon and his colleagues did a fantastic job fixing up my Ford Focus Estate after I'd been run into by a delivery driver just before Christmas. Simon gave some really good insightful advice in the lead-up to taking the car and even picked it up for me from the insurer's garage. The job is great and car looks as good as new. I think we would have both liked the job to be done a bit quicker, but was dependent on parts being available and was worth it to get a really reasonable price. Thanks Simon.

Simon and the guys at SGH did a fantastic job for me of fixing the back bumper on my car which proved more difficult as it was non-standard. They sent pictures through as the work was in progress so we could keep up to date. Good professional service and at a good price as well would recommend.

Simon and the team are super friendly and complete work quickly to a high standard. Would recommend!

Went to Simon with a very damaged write off Toyota Auris which had strong sentimental value to me as it was my dad's pride and joy handed to me when he passed. With the hope of a donor vehicle Simon and his team made it nearly new again and my mum was over the moon. Could not believe the quality of restoration. And would use this company again. Delivered on their promises. Excellent. Thank you

I had read about Simon and his team as well as seen the SGH advert. I wanted a hard top from my previous MX5 and the rear bumper from my current MX5 (both NA's) refurbished. Both were in a pretty poor state... the completed work was outstanding very pleased that I made the journey from north Cheltenham to Crews Hole Bristol. Only problem... gonna make the rest of the car look a little shabby. Existing paint job is still pretty OK but Simon and the team have done such a good job that I'm going to have to get them to do the rest of the car. Thanks Simon, Evie, Wayne and the lovely Holly (and her little crew).

I booked my 2004 MX-5 in for sill and chassis rail repairs, as an advert for SGH was displayed in the owners club magazine. In short, Simon and his workshop team have an excellent attention to detail. The quality of the welding and the finish, even up close is something to behold. On a workmanship basis i would definitely recommend them. What tainted my experience somewhat was the lack of /mis-communications with both me (the customer) and between the workshop team and the administration department. Whilst there were some verbal 'it should be around x amount' conversations, I had to ask for written estimates for work 3 times and never actually received anything. Welding work started without official 'go-ahead' from me - not cool. The only confirmation of the cost came when the bill arrived and was much more than i had expected. In fairness to the team, we did reach a price that i was more comfortable with after some negotiation (i was quite firm about my expectations at this point as i'm sure Simon will attest!) but neither of us needed that hassle. So i think to summarise, the learning points from my experience for SGH and future customers would be: - Work quality is a non-issue. Fantastic - Written estimates need to be given before commencing work - Talk to your customers regularly - even a courtesy call every few days Thanks for a great job. I hope my comments are taken in the constructive manner they are meant, sorry I couldn't write more here!

front chassis rails badly corroded and rear sill/wheel arch. Took it to SGS who checked it and confirmed these needed doing but all else was good-I asked them to re underseal as well, and they found two drop links needed replacement which I had heard knocking-but did not know from where. This they also did. Their service was excellent and friendly and the result was a first class job from all at SGS at a very reasonable cost. I am too far away to use them for routine service but will be back to them for any other work I may need-but after what they have done not expecting anything much for a while. The cost was as quoted with drop links at cost and was completed as promised (I delayed collection by few days as was unable to collect when finished)

I handed over my 19 yr old MX5 to Simon when the list of faults started to scare me. He carried out all the work and even arranged for the leather seats to be recovered and refitted whilst with him. I now have a 19 yr old car that looks and smells brand new! If it wasn't for the number plate I wouldn't have recognised it.

Like a fool I parked next to a trolley bay in my local supermarket, & failed to see the metal bar along the edge. I managed to dent & scratch my passenger rear door. I contacted Simon, not having used his services before and he assured me it would be easy to repair & make my car look like new. When i went to collect, he was as good as his word & my car looked like before the dent. Very good quality of work and service. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

We needed our van repaired within a tight time frame. Over Christmas and before New year. S G H completed the work to an excellent standard before the deadline and didn't charge us a fortune. In fact they were cheaper than our other quotes. They even replaced a couple of bulbs that were out and only charged for the bulbs. I can't hesitate to recommend Simon and team enough!
