Automotive Repair

Has made my Diesel lump run perfectly

I did my car service with City Tyres It was fantastic and organise Got my parts very quickly and got the job done so I recommend to anybody. Go and see yourself staff are friendly and hardworking and honest so go and visit them see yourself Thank you City Tyres

Took my insignia here 2years ago for dpf removal and remap after it was stuck in limp mode. After them carrying out the work they told me car was running rough and blamed a injector. One of the owners Domnic doesn’t like to pick the phone when I tried to get updates on my car. I had the car towed from here to Jackson’s diesel specialist in Northampton Who tested injectors in-house found no fault with injectors they suspected that the map / removal by London remaps.

Done a very good job and I haven't had any problems since he sure knows what he is doing

Avoid like the plague! I Had an engine rebuild BMW 318i E46 @£2,500. I got the car back with stiff brakes, no power steering, and a whirring/droning noise coming from intake manifold area (video available to listen to) when idling. The engine also hesitates and vibrates/stutters on idle. The website says after investigation they won’t carry on any work until written email agreements allowing you to make final decision. Nonsense! I called up after two weeks to find out what was happening, was told build was done, engine block/cylinder head needed skimming, Pistons fine but new rings, some camcover/valve cover bit and hose were glued together so that was replaced. What? I thought I would get email and final say?! Nope, car done come get it and PAY! I paid, oh yes I paid...I paid to get the car out of there. Now my car, which did have a failed head gasket is in a diagnosis mess. I have to check and replace vacuum/ brake system, find out if the ccv is causing droning in intake manifold area on idle...I’m left wondering, did Tony really skim the engine, do I really have new piston rings? Are they even my pistons? Is that my intake manifold? God, what if I’ve lost all my good bits? See, they may have done a proper job on cylinder head, gasket, block, but messed up assembly and damaged vacuum system by accident (remember brakes are fudgy). Tony was happy for me to drive it in that condition, he gave me an unsafe car! They seemed rushed. Engine rebuilds should never be rushed. It may have been an innocent bodge. But TRUST IS KEY! Would I take it BACK to them on their so called warranty? No no no! Don’t trust engine build warranty people, it’s a false security/assurance. I am going to start a campaign to pass a law that videos must be supplied on garage work and rebuilding of engines. Instead of warranty builders/garages should have to provide a video of all the work carried out on your car. By law they should HAVE to get your consent in writing before proceeding on any work and a full costing provided in writing! Your invoice should not state ‘full rebuild £1800’ but should state what exactly you paid for! This part/amount, this drilling/skimming/amount, this time labour/amount with video evidence! No dodgy warranty, but a properly regulated industry and video evidence is the future. At £2500 I should have got a better car. Trust is lost after this experience so I’m left wondering, is that even my engine? God help me, are there any honest tradesmen left in this country?

Real good people, great price, very quick turnaround, went the extra mile.. would definitely recommend! #DNA_WASTE - Ford Transit Tipper

My experiences with the Garage was not great, constantly taking the car in and out of the garage. They repaired my gearbox, to which they did not screw the bolts on properly and potentially could of killed me and my partner. Please avoid at all costs, they too people off who have little or no experience about car maintenance...

Great friendly, fast and efficient service!

best in kent

Great helpful staff

You would be hard pressed to find a nicer bunch of blokes, I went to the loo their and there were blokes there like scientists working on benches tweaking engines. The receptionist is lovely and the (I think ) gaffer David is a really nice bloke, Auto Marine sorted my Vivaro out really quickly. Would highly recommend.

Great staff and facilities, extremely friendly and helpful with sensible prices.

THE BEST JOB EVER

Been taking both our cars there for 6 years, but unfortunately after recent experiences we won't be back. A combination of totally missing a fault on my wife's car and charging an hour's labour for a 5 minute job on my car.
