Report
I left a 5 star review for these guys after having nearly 2000 worth of work done to the car but since having the work done I have realised there was damage to a wheel thread that they worked on and cost me 200 to repair the pad they changed split in half because of a slipping part in the breaks. Also when they done the service a part wasn't put back on properly so my car leaked oil everywhere. At the time I thought their work was pricey so I took it to my current garage and they couldn't believe the pricing on the invoice their labour costs are 20 per HR more than anywhere else and so far I can't see why. In my opinion I would avoid this garage if you want a good honest job done.

Scott at Ashington Autos has been great communicating all the way through keeping me up to date with progress. A very fair price and a very friendly efficient service what more can you ask for. Thank you.

While looking to replace my ancient Vauxhall Astra, a neighbour recommended Ashington Autos. Stuart was really helpful and after looking at the website I decided on a Corsa. The whole process went really smoothly, and I appreciated the attention to detail. I'm really pleased with the car and will definitely be recommending this company.
