Old Mill Garage

Kevin is fantastic. He's a straight talking, honest, reliable and brilliant mechanic who won't rip you off and you can rely on 100% Can't recommend him highly enough

First reg flag was when I called to book my car in for an MOT the older gentleman who works here told me well done for knowing my own car reg - patronising, but I let it go and booked it in. Then called to tell me my MOT had failed and it needed this that and the other doing. Being heavily pregnant and emotional I asked them to call my husband to explain what needed doing, as soon as they spoke to him lo and behold it was just an oil change that needed doing for it to pass! Somehow still cost me 250. The mechanic Paul was lovely when I collected my car, but the older gentleman is clearly misogynistic and fine with ripping off women!

I first came to Old Mill looking for a quote on replacing a steering assist belt, I already had a cheap quote from a different reliable garage but it was too far to drive to. Kevin quoted me even less than I was expecting, it was replaced the same afternoon. During this first visit Kevin told me that the Alternator would need replacing, which I didn't at the time as it didn't affect the performance, it only made a whinny noise, and even if it died one day, it wouldn't blow the engine, so I left it. Lo and behold, about 4 to 6 weeks later the Alternator died a horrible death. Kevin maintained the original quote he had given me for the part + labour and within a half a day it had been replaced and fixed with a new one. Now I'm booked for next week for a gargling noise my car is making (she's a 2000 Mazda MX5 that keeps surprising me with new things to repair), so it's off to this garage again and hope it's nothing too awful. Point being, I can't fault this garage on anything. They work fast, they know what they're doing, and they don't rip me off. I had a decades experienced friend mechanic confirming to me that they are giving me surprisingly good quotes. Kevin is absolutely genuine and truly wants to help. Absolutely recommend! [Addendum]: I keep coming back to this shop as my car keep getting issues, and everytime they exceed my expectations. Since my original review I've had a clutch wheel replaced, a mid pipe and after-market exhaust, welding, and more, all at this garage. It's an outdtanding place.
