All-round excellence! Plus a comfy, clean & cosy customer pod!

I needed same day assistance with my car on two separate occasions. The team dealt with me professionally and courteously both times. They fitted me in at short notice, communicated well about the issues and saved me money. I especially enjoyed their cosy and comfy scandi-style 'customer pod' waiting room (log cabin, leather seats, heating and power sockets) so I could work on my laptop while waiting. The customer service I experienced was so slick it meant my service to my clients was also uninterrupted. I would highly recommend. Thank you Southgate Garage!

Air Con Recharge

We were on holiday in the area in the blazing heat in late June with an air conditioning unit that would not engage. ( I knew about it some weeks previous but forgot to get it fixed. Who needs air conditioning in Wales anyway!). I thought it was a bigger problem than a recharge. I called in to Southgate's in the mid-afternoon for their opinion. They explained that the unit protects itself on low pressure. I asked if they could recharge it there and then. We were asked to return in 45 minutes when the technician was due back. We duly returned and they did their comprehensive recharging process over the next hour. My wife and I sat in a very clean and comfortable little chalet style waiting room. We were very pleased to have it fixed the same day as we were 15 miles or so from our hotel.

Having brought my previous car here in the past, I happily chose Southgate to do the first year service on my current car. Having dropped my car off at 9am, I had a call just after lunch to say that the work had been completed. Before leaving, I was given a run through of what work had been done and as the oil had to be changed, I was advised at what types of oil to use if I ever needed to change it to avoid any unnecessary damage to my car. Brilliant service as always and the staff are always professional and happy to help.

Car went in for MOT and services, kept up to date by phone on what situation was and prices, and to check I was happy to proceed. Good, clear explanation of mechanical work carried out as I have no idea about cars! Fast, reliable, and great customer service.

Kept me updated as job proved much more time consuming than estimated. Change of timing belt on Nissan Qashqai, much less space in engine compartment compared to earlier models. Southgate Garage kept to original estimate although job took twice the time.

I unfortunately had a blow out in my car and arrived at the garage rather stressed! The staff couldn't have been more helpful & understanding and quickly renewed my tyre so that I could return to work.

After purchasing a new battery from a local motor factor they asked us to return for an alternator check. They informed us that we needed a new alternator. Budget cost £290 took the car to our regular garage "Southgate". They tested and proved Alternator was working correctly. Great news on the test.

Finally found a garage that I feel I'm not being "ripped off". Told me exactly how much everything costs beforehand, only changed what was needed. Very professional. Had a "safe" feeling about this garage. Highly recommended, never going anywhere else!
