What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Friendly, knowledgeable service is the theme that runs through feedback for this Northampton garage, with customers returning to it for servicing and MOT work on a wide range of vehicles. Vehicle repair, brake and battery work, oil changes, tyre fitting and inspections all feature among the services described, and several reviewers remark that staff explain faults clearly and keep them informed as a job progresses.

A motorist stranded by a brake failure recalls being taken in the same day and the team staying on after hours to complete the repair, while another describes the price as fair with no unexpected additions. Buyers of used cars mention ongoing servicing and MOTs at good value, and a driving instructor notes that a whole team of instructors relies on the garage, which points to repeat trade built on trust.

Diagnostics on a Range Rover, a long-standing family Polo brought back into use and a car collected from Liverpool all appear in accounts of work carried out. Named appreciation goes to AJ and to a mechanic who previously owned a vehicle sold on. Tidiness, punctuality and a willingness to fit urgent jobs in are also highlighted, and the courteous manner of the staff is noted by regulars who have used the garage over several years for servicing, repairs and MOT preparation.

Kindly agreed to fix my car the same day as a brake failure, whilst I was stranded away from home. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable, they stayed until after it closed to fix the issue for me, at a reasonable price. Could not recommend highly enough.

They are always polite and friendly. I bought my car from them a couple of years ago, and absolutely love it. They do all the servicing and the MOTs at a good value price. I highly recommend them.

These guys are great, we have an old VW Polo that we've had in the family for a few years, we have kept it as a spare car and for our sons of various ages to learn to drive in & have as a first car. It's had a lot of use in the last couple of years, but then sat on our drive for ages and the MOT had run out, so I wanted to get it all fixed up ready for the next son learning to drive. It had a list of bits wrong with it, some were just annoying little niggles that i wanted to get fixed for a long time, and other bits were wear & tear like brakes, exhaust etc. It also had an intermittent issue with the EPC light coming on. I dropped it off with the guys and gave them a list of everything I wanted fixing, and asked them to MOT it and just fix anything else they find as I want to keep it going regardless of cost. They fixed every single issue, even advised that some of the work I asked about wasn't needed even though they could have just done it anyway and charged me more money. Our old Polo now drives the best it has ever done, the annoying little issues we've been trying to sort out for years have all gone. Price was very reasonable, i was kept informed of it's progress, the guys were very friendly, and most importantly to me they actually took the time to listen to what i wanted and fix it properly rather than just trying to get it in and out as quickly as possible. Highly recommend this garage, good old fashioned customer service at a good price - they also look after my wifes Mini and they have always done a good job with that too at a much lower price than the main dealer / BMW specialists charge.

This was the first time using this garage for my MOT and after reading the positive reviews I booked myself in. The moment of walking through the door I was met by Rodney who is a credit to Duston garage and an example of how customer service should be towards customers. The whole experience from start to finish was a pleasure and will see you again next year

Absolutely superb service from this garage! From the moment I arrived, the team were friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. They explained everything clearly, kept me updated throughout the work, and the price was very fair with no surprises.

Duston garage went above and beyond today to fix my car. My husband rang first thing this morning and less than a hour later the vehicle was in the garage being fixed and serviced. Thank you so much for all you have done.
