V8 Car Service

"I’m very disappointed, I took my car here for a minor repair which was quoted 90£, but at the end Martin charged me +300£ adding more things to and when drove 5mins away the car started making a noise and when I went back he said the gearbox and clutch needs work and it will cost 1200£. Safe to say they caused the issues, because I have never had any problem with my car it was the most reliable car I have ever owned, but unfortunately had to send it to scrap after taking it to V8 garage. Proper rip off. He talks a lot but knows nothing about the cars."

"Good garage very nice and helpful people"

"Excellent service, always ready to help, very professional. Recommended for everyone."

"Very friendly people, fit me in for my MOT even though they were extremely busy. Rang me before doing any extra work which was very helpful. Good value for money"

"Excellent service! Found V8 via Googling "TIG Southampton" I had an old alloy wheel, off of a classic 1978 Mini, that had developed a leak in the metal between the rims. The fella that subsequently did some neat TIG welding cut back the area of honeycomb where the porosity was, and put a fillet back in from both sides to effectively bridge the area of the hole/rot. Good value for money. Nice coffee and a really well set out lounge, deep cockpit leather armchairs and a very professional level of customer care. Please take into consideration TIG welding is a far more costly (and technically more challenging) process than TIG and it requires better preparation of the work piece, TIG welders are more expensive too! So make sure you are happy with the minimum price for doing any TIG'ing even before an arc is struck..... Unless your damaged component is inexpensive, repair is usually well worth it: cost up the time and effort to get hold of a new part, its cost, along with the time of refitting it. In my case the cost of another wheel and the fitting valve and balance worked out more than remove tyre, prep & TIG repair the existing rim and refit the tyre."
