Job done at an extremely good price (almost 1/3rd of main dealer cost) Car picked up and delivered back. No complaints at all. Will certainly use again and recommend to anybody.
Fantastic service from Auto Solutions. Collected my car and re-delivered to my house fixed within 48 hours. Price rose slightly by my own choosing due to them suggesting having the timing belt replaced whilst they had already stripped the car back. Highly recommend them and will likely be using them again in the future, super fast service.
good service, friendly people. Replaced timing chain, filters and all tippers. No more rattling noise when I drive!!
Yes. This exceeded my expectations. They were very quick in fixing my break pads. Would highly recommend them.
Car was serviced as required only took 90 mins
All good.
Excellent services. In constant contact with Patrick was collected and return as stated. Price quoted was the final price. Patrick also touched up a couple of chips on the door edge and a smaller scrap on the back bumper ( within the quoted price). Totally satisfied with the finish and the expertise of the company. Would totally recommend them.
Great garage! Good guys who are professional and efficient. Will definitely return and recommend to everyone.
Very competitive price, handy location for me. Patrick is very nice fella, very helpful, sourced good quality (Bosch/Brembo) discs and pads. Job was completed speedily. Would whole heartedly recommend ACS. Came across this site and ACS only via google search. Very glad I did. Would use again next time I need garage.
Yes
Great service 5* took my car to another garage they told me it was problem with pump got that changed then they told me no it's not pump it is clutch so took my car way and found this website who can fix my car. This was cheaper quote I got and after spending money on pump I didn't need in end I went with it they come to collect my car in afternoon at work and even gave me a car to drive which I wasn't expecting which saved me time and money as I was planning get train home from work. Next day got call in afternoon say not only clutch needed changing but gear stick was broken they even sent me a video to show me damage, didn't cost that much more so got fixed by time I left work at 5pm the next day car was with me and felt brand new. Saved me time and effort for pickup of car. Zak driver picked up my car was very professional and polite. Cash payment made on drop of my car after test drove it for 2-3miles. Good points - Service 5* - give you replacement car - pick up your car from any location - quick turn around 1day or same day service - great price comparison with others Bad points - cash payment - late on responding to calls and text - no recipet or paper work given All in all have more good then bad and can save you time and money would recommend to anyone.
Kaz and his boys done a terrific job in fixing my gearbox and a new clutch. They found another problem , informed me about it and asked if I wanted them to proceed..Car was returns in pristine condition Thanks boys
What an amazing garage. They fixed my car within 4 hours when other garages told me it was an 8 hour job. On top of this the price was £400 cheaper than any other garage. The set up is simple but the quality of workmanship is amazing and the best I have ever seen. Kaz the owner is an amazing guy and a true businessman. The free collection and drop off service is fantastic but more importantly is how forthcoming and transparent this garage is as they gave me all of my old parts back. If you would like to get your clutch, flywheel or gearbox done then look no where other than New Shepperton Tyres & Autocentre, you will not be disappointed with the service and guaranteed to get value for money. Many thanks to Kaz and his team.
I'm was impressed how quick the job as done, cheap compare to others and very friendly people
I would recommend this company to anyone. KAZ was helpful and the man who picked up the car was also very polite. The car drives as it should do.
An efficient and professional service that for the price above included a cam-belt and water pump change,oil and air filter change and synthetic oil change as well as a courtesy car whilst the job was being done. I should be able to award six stars. Thank you very much Swanmore Repair centre.
Very personable and professional, very competitive pricing. I added on oil change, filter and air-filter which was a very reasonable cost.
Brilliant service.Thank you
An excellent service at an excellent price. The above price included a cam-belt and water pump change, oil and air filter change and a C3 oil change. Polite and friendly staff who also loaned me a courtesy car whilst the job was done. If I could I would award them six stars. Well done.
1st class service, could not have asked for anymore, alternator was changed and when I asked for the timing belt to be done at the same time I was also given a discount would definetly recommend 100%
Very good job did as asked no hidden extra very happy
This is a fantastic group of people. I used to use them but have moved further away and had a terrible experience with a different garage. When I used WhoCanFixMyCar.com I learned that Pool Street will come and collect and return your car even as far away as I am. Much appreciated and unlike most they always stick to their word and don't charge for diagnosis or advice.
Great service, will be using again!
Easy to book,job done at a fair price,service with a smile,recommended.
Very good service would recommend to anybody
Excellent Service !!! Honest and polite staff. You will not be disappointed
Final price was higher than original quote but this was due to other parts needed. These guys were quick and had great communication through the clutch replacement process but most importantly were 50% cheaper than tambridge garage in southwater quote - will 100% use these guys again
Great Service. Work completed on-time and to a very high standard. Very good value cam belt, tensioners & water pump change for works vehicle. On colecting the vehicle all Replacement parts had been retained for my inspection. . Better service than a main Citroen dealer A++++

Can’t fault them. Got booked in really quick and price was great. I expect they will be getting more of my business in the future.
Carl and Reliance were a good find - the car was sorted out including the rear discs, and a slight leak was also fixed I will definitely be using Reliance again - my car was even picked up and delivered
No complaints at all. They serviced the car and I collected the same day.
Have been using MTR for a few years now for tyres and servicing. Always find them helpful and reliable no hidden costs like some garages.Always willing to assist what ever your motoring needs. Cheers

An interim service is carried out on a car by a mechanic, who checks a number of key components and parts of a car.
An interim service can be extremely helpful for finding minor problems before they develop into major ones as many parts of a car will naturally wear down over time. The ones at high risk will usually be checked during an interim service.
For a driver, having an interim service carried out is a smart move as you may not realise there is a problem developing and it could end up costing you even more money down the line.
Would you prefer to replace a pressure gauge or have your car written off entirely due to the head gasket blowing?
The difference between a full service and an interim service is the amount of parts checked. As the name suggests, an interim service will be less thorough than a full service.
However, that does not mean an interim service is not worth having.
Engine oil is absolutely vital for keeping your car is good health and serious damage will be cause to a vehicle if there is low or none existent engine oil.
This is one of the easiest things to check and will always be included in an interim service.
Brake fluid is vital for the brake system as it is responsible for applying pressure to the pads and discs when bringing a car to a halt. If there is a small leak in the braking system, the liquid will inevitably pour out. This will then prevent you from braking all together so it is vital that this never happens!
During the winter months, if a car is left outside for an extended period of time, it will be subject to potential problems. Coolant is a liquid which runs through a car engine, keeping the level of heat and friction down, similar to engine oil.
The radiator needs to have a healthy supply of coolant to operate and keep the engine cool, which is why it is vital there is also enough anti-freeze in the system as well. If the coolant freezes and you start your engine in cold weather, your engine could overheat and damage could be caused extremely quickly.
Having enough windscreen wash may not strike you as critical, however, if you are driving your car and your view of the road becomes obstructed, you need to be able to wash your screen.
Like brake fluid, power steering fluid is checked in an interim service and the reason are exactly the same. Power steering fluid is critical for being able to steer a car and if there is a leak, or even air bubbles in the system, you will be in trouble.
If the problem is air bubbles, you can pump the clutch to resolve the issue, however, if there is a leak, a bigger repair will be required.
It is a legal requirement that you have working headlights so the wiring around rear and headlights will be checked during an interim service to ensure they are not at risk of cutting out.
Windscreen wipers naturally wear down over time and lose their ability to remove dirt and water from a windscreen. A mechanic will make sure your windscreen wipers are good enough to do this during an interim service.
The most common problem car batteries have is dying however, with a jump start, this problem can be sorted. A mechanic has no way of knowing if this will happen and so they cannot check for anything specific when it comes to this potential issue arising.
However, the integrity of a car battery could come into question and they can sometimes crack, resulting in battery acid spilling into the car engine. This is a very serious issue and so the battery will be checked for signs of damage during an interim service to ensure this does not happen to you.
The charging system is responsible for keeping your car battery full of power, if it is compromised, then it highly likely that you will suffer from a regular dead battery.
The alternator can be to blame for problems with the charging system and so will be checked during an interim service.
The most common issue the exhaust system suffers from is rust and leakage of dangerous fumes. There are several parts of an exhaust system which will be checked in an interim service including the catalytic converter which is responsible for taking the most toxic and dangerous elements out of the fumes created by a car engine.
A mechanic will mainly be checking for holes and rust when it comes to the exhaust system.
It is a legal requirement to have 1.6mm tyre tread depth in the UK as this allows a car to grip the road firmly, if it is any lower, you are actually breaking the law!
This will always be checked while an interim service is being carried out, as will a pressure check on your tyres.
A brake test will be carried out during an interim service to ensure your car is able to come to a stop properly. If your car cannot do this, there is a good chance the brake pads or discs have worn down.
Surprisingly, some drivers don’t realise that their steering isn’t what it is supposed to be which is why this service is provided in an interim service.
There may be a number of issues which would cause steering issues including wheel alignment, in which case, a simple fix is available.
The shock absorbers make up a part of the steering and suspension system and are self explanatory in their role in a car.
However, their effectiveness will drop over time resulting in a less comfortable ride for passengers. The large springs will be checked during a full service for degradation.
The suspension of a car is part of the steering system and so will be rigorously checked during an interim service.
An interim service can help identify problems before they become serious as mechanics are trained to recognise the signs of a part having issues.
This means you will be able to avoid a serious and potentially dangerous situation developing in the future.
