2 years in a row I’ve had a full service and MOT with Drivers Autocentre. Never had any issues car passed first time and definitely the lowest price I could find. Will use again next year
Good job
Thanks Drew & the guys , using this garage for a while now car mot & full serviced no problem thanks again
Yes. They did more work than original estimate and appeared to have done a good job and good value . Very helpful.
Cracking service from these guys, picked my car up and had phoned with a price within 2 hours. Work was done that day, car feels much better and advised of a couple of things still needing done. Car was dropped back off also at no extra cost.
Great service and the job was done fast and efficient. The car drives like new.
Excellent service highly recommend
excellent garage great guys that work there
Good feedback of diagnostics done. Happy with work undertaken.
Very friendly and professional at the same time. I’m very happy. Highly recommended
I took my car to Goodfellas and even when I was booking over the phone the guys there made sure they explained everything to me and what they would do to the car. I wasn’t hurried off the phone or treated badly at all. Even when they were discovering new problems on my car they would phone me and go over everything to make sure I was confident in what they were doing for me. They had to order a range of new parts for me but they made a lot of effort to minimise the costs. They showed me the parts afterwards to show me the wear and why they had to replace. Overall I can’t give these guys a good enough review, they were superb. I would especially like to thank Lucas for all his help and Martin for taking car of the car. Even though I am not local to the garage I will be taking my car there in the future. Great bunch of guys there who are all extremely friendly and care about the service they provide. 5 stars for them. Thanks again Goodfellas. Will
Patrick is a amazing person, could have charged a lot more as I was getting quotes which were much higher than what Patrick quoted me, I have definitely found a new family mechanic and will recommend to everyone I know Patrick is honest and is a hard worker with no nonsense
Excellent customer service and did a great job with sufficient warranty. Car was collected an delivered in excellent condition. Patrick, Sean and team did an excellent job. I was kept informed during the process and they were always easily contacted. Car driving well after the additional recommendations were added.
I needed the front brake discs and pads replaced on my Toyota Yaris and this was one of the cheaper offers and even offered to collect my car in the morning and deliver it back home once the work was done for free. The garage was nearly 20 miles away from my house! With Patrick already having amazing reviews I immediately accepted the offer and was not disappointed. Patrick was incredibly polite and picked up the car exactly when he told he would and dropped it off just 7 hours later were other garages wanted to keep it overnight and charge more than £200. Will definitely be the garage I stick with in the future.
Patrick did an amazing job with repairing the gearbox to my vehicle that had completely given up the ghost and wouldn't budge.Service was excellent and very speedy.We most especially appreciated the fact that he went the extra mile to do overtime to get the car done on time and delivered the same evening of repair!The car runs smoothly in gear shifts and runs like new, and the quality done in work is top notch with a very competitive unbeatable price. It was also extremely helpful that he was able to pick up and drop off the vehicle back to the house free of charge, which says a lot about the quality of customer service.Patrick now has a permanent customer from us :)
Thank you very much for your help and Mr Patrick have done a GREAT JOB to my car. My engine is very smooth with fast acceleration. I am definately be with you for the next service. Doan in 225 Watford way
Definitely
An incredibly good service. Excellent price, great customer service and communication. Went £4 over estimate but also fitted a new thermostat I had boxed up in the car for free. Would always recommend them to anyone.
Got the work done quickly and efficiently, no hitches whatsoever. Hard to find a garage that does the work at a fair price and at a pace as quick as Swanmores. Finally found a garage that's going to be my go to every time I need some work done to my car. Appreciate it!
Job done, kept informed and useful information for future reference. Thanks.
Front brake pads replaced, excellent will definitely go back. thankyou
Completed diagnostic as requested. Timescales for job initially unclear but clarified later. Comprehensive explanation of fault and discussion of options.
Excellent straight to the point service Literally went for an interim service, dropped the car off, came back an hour later, done Easy And also very cheap
Fantastic service. Just need a bigger sign to find it.
Great! Had it picked up and done during work, and dropped off after. Nice and easy, thanks.

Excellent service .. helpful polite staff ..knowledgeable and reliable ,would highly recommend
Great quote from Vehicle Solutions. I hadn't used them before so was automatically a bit wary, but after speaking to them and taking my car to be looked I was reassured. Excellent service, price and a very fast turnaround time. Will definitely use again.
Final price went up a touch but only cos I asked for an MOT certificate also, which was very reasonably priced. Patrick was professional and friendly, they booked the car in very quickly and did the work as expected for the price quoted in excellent time. Very happy with the service and will definitely go back! 5 stars!

If your car is suffering from axle problems and you need a repair, you have come to the prefect place! Whether you need a new CV joint fitted, CV shaft repaired, front axle repair or rear axle repair, we can help!
The car axles on your vehicle connect and distribute power to the form and rear wheels of the car from the engine. Obviously, if something is wrong with your car axles, there is going to be an issue. The axles are moving parts which rotate when the car is in motion which means they need to be in checked during a service to ensure they are fully operational.
If an axle gets bent, which can happen when a car suffers from an impact, it will cause the car to jostle and vibrate. If this happens, the problem will get worse as the car moves faster.
The driveshaft is a prat that rapidly spins and transfers engine power to the rear axles and wheels in rear-wheel drive vehicles and will also cause shaking or vibrating if it is bent.
Worn-out constant velocity (CV) joints fall under the same category. If the "boots" -- those rubber, accordion-like coverings around the ends of the drive axles -- are intact, clamps are secure, and no lubricant is seeping out, chances are they're not the problem. But if the boots are torn, that means dirt and dust and road filth is getting in and damaging the joints. For front-wheel drive cars, toasted CV joints mean you'll be buying new drive axles.
CV joints act like the joints in a body, but a little more complex. Their primary function is to connect the axles to the front wheels of a car.
All front-wheel drive cars are fitted with constant velocity joints or CV joints on both ends of the drive shafts or half shafts.
The CV joints in a car are critical for transferring the torque from the transmission at a stable speed while also handling the up and down motion of the car suspension.
CV joints are highly robust and it would not be uncommon to see a car run for over 300,000 miles without a problem. The most likely reason for one to cause problems would be an impact cracking the part and causing grease to leak out.
The CV joint is cased inside a protective boot which retains the grease which allows the joint to rotate smoothly and without friction, however, if the protective boot is damaged and a crack opens up, the grease is likely to leak out.
This will inevitably cause problems as moisture and dirt can get at the CV joint and wear the part down.
If you ever spot dark grease gathering on the inside of your car wheel rim, there is likely to be a leak in the CV joint. If this is the case, you need to have to problem inspected as soon as possible. If the crack in the protective boot has happened relatively recently, the CV joint may not be too badly damaged and a reasonable repair can be made. However, if you decide to ignore the issue, the CV joint will wear out and fail, making the cost of repair much higher.
You will be able to tell if the CV joint is in trouble if you hear a clicking or popping noise when you make a turn while driving.
The cost of a CV joint repair will depend on the severity of the damage, like almost every type of car problem. If you need to replace the CV joint, the part itself it is not too expensive, however, because the work to remove it is so intensive, the cost of labour will most likely represent the largest percentage of the final bill.
