Total Auto Care 228 Portland Road, London SE25 4SL

"These guys fitted me in for urgent repair and also did my service and MOT and I paid much less than the garage I've been using for the last 10 years. Would highly recommend and I will be using these going forward."

"Spent a fortune here on various repairs when ultimately head gasket had failed and in the end I just ran out of money to keep the vehicle. Such a shame as we had been without a family car for some time and had it got diagnosed correctly in the first instance I would have been able to complete the repair work. Thought id be supporting a local business that seemed friendly at start...how wrong I was."

"Do not go to this place. The owner is the most dishonest man you will meet. He will create work on your car like others have said and then rip you off. I also had to listen to some nonsense from an old Essex queen who I assumed is part owner on about how good they are and she spat as she talked which was pretty awful. Went to another decent garage and was shown a part had been disconnected so the car would not run well and I saved £225. How they get away is beyond belief."

"This garage should be avoided at all costs! I left car in for mot and overheating. They said it was heating valve. Then they ran test and said it still wasn't working still overheating.when I queried why I had heating valve fitted when not needed they told me it needed it and "my men scalded themselves on your overheated car, collect it if you want we don't want it clogging out garage" As I had paid out for labour and materials already that were not needed, I wanted my car fixed so gave them the opportunity to find the fault. They said i wouldn't be charged more to look at it further...They Kept my car for 5 days. I had to keep phoning them quering when i'd get my car back. Then they Said they put sealant on gasket and ran test and car is fine to collect. I was told by the Receptionist when I collected my car "I was very lucky the sealant worked" I drove car 5 minutes down the road and car started rattling and overheated worse than when I put it in. Loozed under bonnet and they had wedged a small plastic hose in between a hot pipe. I phoned them they said " Get the car to us" no offer of collection or apology. Left my car with the garage again on Friday evening. No call from garage saturday, Monday or Tuesday I phonedon't Tuesday as news, they didn'the get back to me. On Wednesday I had to call them again they said they'd phone me back, again they didn't. When i called again that afternoon. No apology I was told. Your head gasket has gone. I collected my car immediately after work as I just wanted my car away from thay Garage. So in total I have paid this poor excuse of a garage £135.00 for nothing. Avoid at all costs!!!!!!!! If I could leave no stars I would"
