I was recommended by my usual garage to Tony as they could not fit me in for the original job required. In between getting the recommendation and booking an appointment my cars clutch cable snapped and needed further work. I spoke to the garage who reassured me that they could look at the car, booked in quickly and kept informed throughout when additional work was found. The car was completed in a fast time and I felt like the team were all friendly and very helpful. Nice touch with the air freshener on completion too. The car is driving like a dream now. Would recommended this garage to anyone. Thank you 😊

Excellent Service as always, I had a squeal on cold start up on the Auxiliary Belt on my vehicle,which went off once the vehicle warmed up. It turned out to be the tensioner. So It was replaced along with the belt which was requested by myself. They also did a service on my vehicle, with specific Items, Oil + all filters replaced as requested yet again. They also checked my vehicle throughout and showed advisories which will need seeing to In the future, but all ok for now. Very reliable and professional service and good on price also.

Tony sorted a problem out that another mechanic had caused. He didn’t have time to do the work but squeezed it in around other work. I’m self employed and was pretty much lost without my vehicle. He kept me up to date from start to finish with picture’s and explanations of all the work that was carried out. Exceptional work from start to finish. Would recommend Tony to anyone wanting a top class job done and will definitely be using him again

I have used this company for a few years now. I find them to be extremely efficient and they provide good quality work at a fair price. During the Covid pandemic I didn't use my car very much which has created problems with the brakes. The guys at Tony Simpson were very helpful explaining what the problem was and although they advised I had the work done before I started using the car regularly, they weren't pushing me into getting it done immediately. I also needed a new roll link which they fitted for me. Having had bad experiences with other companies, I find that I can completely trust this company. They keep me informed of any issues, they provide a quotation for all work and have gone above and beyond to ensure my car runs safely.

Was already aware quite a while ago that this garage had been given a Which? Trusted Trader award. What separates Tony Simpson apart from the rest is that he treats your vehicle as if it was his own. Absolute top-class service, professional to the end and polite & courteous. Simply cannot fault his workmanship and will continue to use him for many years to come.

ABS repair
Customer Service
Quality

I approached Tony to investigate a damaged/faulty ABS unit after my 2 local garages were unable to help. Tony and his team gave me a diagnosis and offered me 2 options of a repair or replacement to which Tony tried his best to locate a compatible used unit but with no joy. We decided to go for a new unit via Vauxhall but the part was on back order. The team managed to keep the van on the road for me and to my surprise once the part was available it was fitted immediately and a refund was issued as the part was cheaper than originally quoted. Tony and his receptionist kept me informed of every update that was issued from Vauxhall I couldn't of asked for better service from start to finish and the professionalism they showed. I wouldn't hesitate to use Tony for any work on both mine and my families cars even though i live up Cumbria. Its hard to find such good service these days. Thanks.

I visited Tony’s workshop on 19/9/19 for a diagnosis with my Ford Mondeo 2.0TDCI. The problem was a dual mass flywheel. My vehicle was booked into the workshop at 8.00AM on 23/9/19 for the work to be carried out. I received a notification at 3PM on 23/9/19 stating the work had been completed and my vehicle was ready for collection. I would also add the cost of the repair was considerably lower to that of a Ford main dealer. I would not hesitate to use or recommend Tony Simpson Ltd in the future.

Porsche Cayman S repair I used Tony Simpsons many times now and could not be happier with the services. Took my Porsche Cayman S to Tony as it was making a straight noise when using the clutch, He instantly diagnosed the problem. They gave me a priced to repair using genuine Porsche parts which was a fraction that the main dealer was asking. Car is driving perfect and my wallet not completely empty. Can’t recommend this garage highly enough.

Excellent at providing accurate assessments and potential solutions to problems, their analytical expertise is well proven, as it their ability to carry out the work well.
