Walthamstow Central Garage 6 Hoe Street, London E17 9QF

"First I came to check why the air condition not starting. I knew that was electrical problem logically, there was no light on the switch at all. The guy explained to me that need to refill it and do some tests first before getting electrician. So £84 for not gas refill that wasn't necessary ( there was enough gas in it already) and one day lost. They do not honor your appointment actually. Even if u come on time for your appointment u live your car and when they have time they may look at it. So one day lost here. At the end of the day he said, yes u were right the problem is electrical, so we had to set appointment for other day to be fixed by electrician. Next time I came he even didn't remember there was an appointment and same thing, even after I came early in the morning I had to wait all day, just to let me know that I need to pay £84 for one hour labor so far plus some £300 for new ac pump plus another £120 labor. So I gave up, now I still don't have air condition running, but I am also £168 short for nothing and 2 days wasted (I am self-employed). Waste of time and money, not happy at all. Conclusion,.... if you have extra money to spend for non sense and plenty of free time to wait then yes they may do the job for you eventually. But if you expect quality service done promptly at a normal price then look somewhere else"

"So, I actually saw a good review on Google and that was how I started going there but few weeks ago, I took my Mini Cooper there and I was quoted £498.25 to change two sensors. Turns out I did not have to change them. It has been nearly two months since and the vehicle drives fine. Sheer greed."

"Normally I don't trust in any mechanic, but I gave a try for their Google rating, and I'm really happy with my decision. These gentlemens are spot on friendly professional and customer focused, my car was done in a day with MOT and all the repairs, and at the end they explain to me everything what they've done and what I can expect in the near future. Not to mention it was all cost effective. All in all to describe how good my experience was, my first intention was to drive my pride and joy at 150mph straight to the Thames, to give them back for another service. Definitely coming back here. If you looking for a really good mechanic in this area - you found it!"

"Phil and his team are great. They have done work on my BMW 3 series a number of times. As a car owner with little mechanical knowledge I am always nervous when something goes wrong as I don't want to be ripped off. Never had that problem here, the car is always carefully inspected and only essential work is done. I am informed of anything that may be on 'its way out' and when I should come back to get it checked. Fair prices and quick turn around! Keep up the good work!"

"I didnt actually have service done - and that's why I'm writing this 5 star review. I had a grinding on my brakes but they didn't need replaced, its normal first thing in the morning and I was reassured. I was ready to get new brake pads but he inspected and sent me on my way and told me to come back in a year as all my brakes were in great shape. In and out in less than 5 minutes with proper peace of mind and not a penny spent."
