Wanted!: Genuine, reliable garage in ED

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm new to London and after having moved from up north, I'm really wanting a new garage to service and MOT our car. I really trusted my last garage, they always went the extra mile and always tried to do the cheapest option on repairs.

Does anyone use one that they'd recommend?? If theres one thing I can't stand its being ripped off with something I know nothing about!!!


Any advice would be greatly received!

I wouldn t recomemnd Turners..

Just moved into the area and I have been suggesd turners for a simple service but they could not set up my car computer yet and is 4 times I go back to them with no success..and...next monday again!Not sure they even try anymore..

I wouldn't recommend Peacocks. I've used them twice and really haven't been happy with their mechanical work and have found them to be slow and aggressive when dealing with queries. On the second occasion I had to get another mechanic to recitify the work they did. However, their coachwork (welding) was absolutely first class.


To be fair this was a few years ago and I may have been unlucky. I now use South London Clutch on Bellenden Road and they are fantastic. By far the friendliest and most reliable garage I've ever used. I have total faith in them.

i must say that is a bit unfair on peacocks, as you say it was a few years ago ,,i know that there has been some staff changes in the last couple of years i have used then for the last 12 years and have found them to be very good ,and so have lots of my family and friends and not one has had reason to complain.i have my audi booked in for thursday to have a jerking issue sorted and i have every faith in them that they will get to the bottom of it .

ps ,what was the car they was supposed to of done such a bad job on ? ,why not just do what anyone else would of done and took it back for it to be done to your satifaction ?

I have used Peacocks for over 7 years and have always found the work to be of a very high quality at an extremely reasonable price. The staff are friendly and professional. They are very reliable and get the work done efficiently and quickly. I have recommended them frequently to family, friends and neighbours and their experience mirrors mine.


I always use them for servicing and any other jobs that need doing. I have just had some body work done to an incredibly high standard - the car looks better than it did before the prang! Absolutely no complaints about these guys whatsoever.

Just used Peacocks in Chadwick rd for the first time and I am very pleasantly surprised. I was used to garages wanting to squeeze as much money as possible and to drum up extras after you bring the car in. Well, this one is like the garages we had in the good old days. Honest, reliable and trustworthy. I had a couple of of quotes for the work before I came to them and I was quoted double of their price. After googling them and reading the feedback it was a no brainer who to go to. The work was completed on time and the damage I had on my car has disappeared. All good & highly recommended.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
