What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Servicing and repair work at Derby Garage draws consistent praise, with John and Minty named by customers for their skill and approachable manner. Mercedes models recur in accounts, among them an A45 and a GLB, while brake pads and discs were replaced and a battery fault resolved quickly. Something that features in review after review is the clarity of communication: calls arrive when promised, progress is explained during the job and sensible advice is offered on work worth considering later.

Fairness of price features repeatedly, with labour described as a fraction of main dealer rates and genuine Mercedes parts used. Diagnostic strength is evident, one owner reporting a vehicle declared beyond economical repair elsewhere being tested, the fault identified within an hour, a part ordered and the car returned working properly.

Ingenuity shows as well, a split coolant hose replaced with a custom-made section when the factory item carried a long wait, and unplanned coolant top-ups or last-minute jobs taken on without fuss. Tidiness and an approachable manner, including willingness to answer questions after collection, round off the accounts. Openness about pricing before work begins, with one customer noting a call to confirm the figure, adds to the picture of a garage where servicing, repairs, MOT-related inspection work and diagnostics are handled with care.

The guys here were fantastic, rang me after my service was completed and also told me any work that I should think about doing. Really good people and would recommend these guys if you haven’t already !

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend this garage. They are always honest, explain exactly what needs repairing, and never try to charge for work that isn't needed. Their prices are very fair, and the service is excellent. I'm deaf, and they are happy to communicate by text message, which makes everything so much easier. They also send me photos to show what the problem is, so I always understand what needs to be repaired. Both of the guys are friendly, patient, hardworking, and do a fantastic job every time. I really appreciate their excellent customer service and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy garage. Thank you!

Great service used this garage a fair few times, including which today was an unexpexted job. As only poped in to ask for my coolant to be topped up. Turned out had a split hose from bottom of coolant tank. Rang Vauxhall for part said 7- 14 days. The boys found a hose and custom made me one to fit. Immpecabule service 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
