''Had the car serviced here at The Motorist. We'd arranged to do it while I wait. Had lunch in the Arnage restaurant whilst the guys carried out the service. Excellent service all round!''

-Dave-
''Excellent service. Took my Fiat Coupe in for rust/corrosion repair work on the passenger side floorpan and sill and they got me in straight away to have repaired and done for next day. Very friendly and honest and gave estimate of cost before doing the work. Fantastic garage for repair work 😁''

-Adam-
''The Motorist Bodyshop has just given my VW Beetle a new lease of life following some body work repairs, a full respray and renovation. Great service from the first time I popped in to enquiry to collecting my car following all the work being done! The bodyshop was in touch weekly providing me with an update throughout the whole process, nothing was ever a problem, the paint finish is amazing! Check out their Facebook to see for yourself.''

-Steven-
''Excellent service. Took my son’s car to The Motorist following a breakdown when it got stuck in gear and was not drivable. They got the car in straight away and the fault was diagnosed and fixed very quickly. The staff were amazing with good communication. All very professional and polite. Thank you for getting his car back on the road so quickly.''

''Had some work done at the Motorist Bodyshop. The technicians there did a top quality job, they kept me informed throughout the process and the job ran to time. Excellent service. (The Arnage is a great place to visit too).''

-Andy-
''I just have to drop a mention for the guys in the workshop and the bodyshop, theyve taken my little Ford Fiesta XR2i, which was sat in a garage for 5 years not seeing the light of day until we bought it, and given it a new lease of life. They sorted it all mechanically, mainly things underneath such as brakes, and pipes which need replacing, then did a few paint related issues, Always giving an honest opinion on the work which needs doing then completing it in a timely manner, and at what I think to be a very fair price considering the high standard of work. Cannot recommend them high enough.''

-Ian-
''My Nova Gsi has been in over the weekend for it’s mot, a new ariel and some electrical work doing and I’ve got to say that Gary and the team there were amazing and my car will definitely be back.''

"Been using the garage now since it opened, for all of my cars. They've persevered with my Mustang for the past couple of weeks, to fix a water leak(s) in the boot, that has persisted for 2 years. Ford couldn't find it after a couple of attempts, then didnt want to know, nor could anyone else find it, & I was at the end of my tether. The guys at the Motorist found several leaks, even removing & rebonding all the glass in the rear end, then resealing the bodywork seams. A really nightmare job, that most garages (even Ford) dont want to know. I now have no leaks & can't thank you guys enough. MOT's, servicing, repairs, fault finding, they've done it all for me over the years superbly, and dont do unneccessary work. Always a great transparent service provided, and proper workmanship. Always at a very reasonable price too given the expertise . There's only 2 garages I trust with the Mustang. This is one of them, and the one I go to the most often"

I had my E30 restored at the body-shop and Mark and his team were excellent from start to finish. Updating me every step of the way. Tommy has quite honestly done a world class job with the paint! We have been going to the Motorist since it started and will continue to visit. I cannot recommend this place enough, the service is spot-on and very reasonable priced for the amount of impeccable work involved. Perfect!

-Alex-
The Motorist really looked after us. I gave them a list of the things we wanted doing based on the other garages list and they called to say most of the work wasn't needed. I felt looked after and was treated very well, even though our old car isn't anything fancy. Highly recommend The Motorist for any car repairs/MOT. Excellent service, very polite staff and genuine garage!

-Abi-
Took my Porsche in after experiencing an issue with glow plugs and loss of power on the motorway. The team were just brilliant from start to finish. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable and kept me up to date. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

-Kirsten-
Took both my cars in last week to be cleaned up and under sealed. The team were great. Mark talked me through the process and showed me what they had done at the end before taking the cars off the lift. It’s a dirty unpleasant job and the poor guys who did the work were filthy at the end so special thanks to them.

-Jim-
Took my car in for MOT. Excellent service from Dave, Gary and the team. Very friendly and good communication. Gave me a quote before carrying out any work and kept me up to date on progress. Highly recommend.

-Chris-
Collected my Mercedes SLK from bodywork repairs this week (new wing, repairs to rear arches, front bumper and paintwork) Great job, excellent results, colour matches just right. Updates from Mark kept me up to date with its progress too. Happily recommend to others 👍
