    5th November 2024

    First time using fergies after they were recommended to me, couldn't be happier, very detailed report, fair on price for their knowledge and made it super easy to spread the cost

  • susan smith

    30th October 2024

    First time I have used Fergies for my BMW 1 Series having always used Dick Lovett since I bought the car 8 years ago. Fergies have diagnosed the warning on engine fan amongst other things that had been missed by BMW both as faults and maintenance that should have been carried out ages ago. It’s like having the car from new again. Great job all round from the reception team, mechanics and... Read More

  • Darron Edwards

    11th October 2024

    Always a great experience from the Fergies team, from a simple booking to walking in and being greeted by a smile and deep knowledge of my needs. Good value for money and clear explanation of the work and anything extra they’ve found, but without a hard sell, I’m very happy to recommend Fergies to anyone with a VW group (and other German brand) car.

  • Meg Watts

    29th July 2024

    I took my self-converted VW Caddy to Fergies initially for an electrical issue that many other garages couldn't solve. Fergies identified and fixed it with easy, and it turned out to be a very simple fix. Additionally to this initial problem, they conducted a thorough maintenence check which highlighted other issues with my beloved Caddy, including an oil leak. I was able to pick and choose...

  • S L

    1st May 2024

    I started using Fergies to service my BMW M50d when the main dealer warranty expired. The service I have received is far better quality than main dealer. Pricing is competitive, loan cars, free coffee and snacks available while you wait. Can’t fault the services 2 years later.

    23rd February 2024

    I've had these guys service my VW 6.1 Transporter a few times now.This morning they've had van back just for 4 new tyres. 20 " Gloss black rims. Can't fault them !
    Time taken to clean old wheel weight glue off,
    New Black weights and stuck on neatly and straight !!! Time taken to be careful and considerate with wheel rims. Far better job then any tyre garages I've been to previously... Read More

  • Juli Taylor

    16th February 2024

    I am writing this review “because” I didn’t buy anything from Fergies. I took my car to them on a recommendation and they investigated a suspension issue that turned out to be nothing at all. From the outset they were polite, professional and friendly. There was no push after a negative inspection to have unnecessary work done and for that reason I will go back for all my onward Mercedes... Read More

  • Michael Bishop

    15th January 2024

    This is my second year using Fergies and I have no hesitation in providing another 5 star review.

    Quality of service, attention to detail, plus first class customer care all round, what more could you ask.

    The provision of a pre-bookable loan car, having your car valeted prior to delivery and that final touch, free coffee, tea and biscuits whilst waiting, are all icing on the... Read More

    Had Mercedes serviced and brakes done by this very professional outfit.

    Had no issues whatsoever. Every member of staff is very friendly.

    Even offer you drinks etc to make you feel welcome.

    Well run business, that puts the manufacturers to shame!

    Also they valet your car for free. Looks beautiful.

    Thanks.

  • Rob Anderson

    6th November 2023

    I’ve been taking my cars to Shaun and the Fergies team for a few years now and will continue to do so.

  • Kaye Walton

    31st October 2023

    I would highly recommend Fergies, Shaun, Nigel and the team did a great job on my BMW. They have a great set up and the attention to detail is fantastic. I will be taking my car there from now on. So great to find fab service.

  • Andrei

    27th October 2023

    I initially went in for a standard service and diagnosis for my 430D and the technician managed to complete both on the same day.
    They were thorough in their diagnosis, identifying everything that was wrong with my car, and the list was quite extensive. Despite this, they managed to fix everything efficiently, and my car was ready within just two days. When I picked up my car, I was... Read More

    24th October 2023

    Shaun and the team are highly professional and the customer is always kept up to date with the progress on their vehicle. They even include pictures to help you understand any issues they find. Recently had a full service and cambelt change. Excellent in all areas and I will be using them again. Well done Shaun and the team, another happy customer.

  • Steve Kingston

    18th August 2023

    My car is modified but they don’t see that as a problem and They truly care about you and your car. Dont often feel that when getting your car worked on.

  • Andrew Moore

    Great customer experience. Recommend as an alternative to a more expensive Mercedes garage

  • Matt Tipping

    17th August 2023

    I've used Fergies a couple times now and have never left disappointed. Customer service is second to none, polite and attentive as soon as you enter the reception.

    The prices are reasonable considering the level of service you are given. Courtesy cars are also available which is very handy.

    Always driven to keep my cars main dealer serviced, but based on recent experiences at Mercedes i thought i would give these guys a try.
    Immediately felt valued as soon as i walked through the door, they used their specialist equipment and megaflushed my autobox and replaced with 100% fresh oil (not something Mercedes could do), reset all my adaption valves, did a full alignment check on... Read More

    2nd August 2023

    The Audi dealer I use to go to was very good, but Fergies is even better and more competitively priced. Information is clear and transparent. Staff are so friendly and helpful. High quality service delivered very smoothly and efficiently.

  • Charlie Sinclair

    9th June 2023

    Fergies is now my only trusted place to take my car. Previous garages have missed things that needed doing or in some cases repaired things that didn't need doing. Fergies are specialists in German cars and have all the latest diagnostic tools. They can quickly tell you what's up and with all the work approvals online, its just so much easier. They've always been great at taking my car in... Read More

  • Janos Mark “JP” Pocz-Nagy

    5th April 2023

    Absolutely great customer service. I had my G30 there for a major service, which they've done only in day. Done a detailed thorough check on it too. Everything done to the highest standards what you would expect from a professional garage.
    A courtesy car was given too until to work was done. (beasty Scirocco)
    They even done a valet before collection.

    This has to be the best German Vehicle Specialist in the South. From the start, the look of the place, from the reception and the glass wall to the workshop all looks incredibly professional.

I did some homework before I went in, I have a B8 Audi S5 and the specific S Tronic gearbox service I wanted... Read More

    Came in for a last minute MOT with a fantastic turn around. The team were very accommodating. They also revealed that after paying extra previously from the main dealer… it would appear that not all the paid services/parts had been carried out. Fergie's free vehicle safety and service check is informative and thorough. Furthermore, the car came back with a valet that made the car look brand... Read More

Do electric vehicles need servicing?

As with petrol or diesel vehicles, electric vehicles should be serviced regularly. Battery cells, electric motors, tyres, and brakes will be checked as part of the service.

Manufacturers recommend that all-electric vehicles be serviced regularly to maintain their warranty and integrity.

Does my electric car require an annual maintenance service?

Electric vehicles need regular servicing. The servicing schedule for electric vehicles can vary depending on the manufacturer. At Fergies, we follow the manufacturer’s recommended servicing schedule, which is typically every 12 months or a certain number of miles, to ensure that the vehicle is maintained as the manufacturer advises. This ensures that all the vehicle’s working parts are in good shape.

The in-car indicator will notify you when to have your car serviced.  The indicator appears on your dashboard and usually tells you how long it is until your next service.

For your EV Service in Thatcham and Newbury, contact our team of specialists today. Your local independent service electric car centre.

Why Fergies for EV servicing?

Fergies is an independent garage that offers premium services for electric vehicles without charging premium prices. Electric vehicles require only skilled and qualified technicians due to the dangers of working with high voltage vehicles.

Our technicians are among the few specialists in Thatcham and Newbury who are qualified to work on high voltage cars. Our unique approach to servicing and maintaining electric vehicles ensures that your electric vehicle is in the best hands.

How do I know if my EV service is due?

The service schedule for your electric vehicle is based on the mileage and usage of the car. Many manufacturers recommend servicing electric cars annually. Additionally to the servicing schedule, your vehicle is fitted with a service indicator that tells you when your service is due.

If you are unsure when to expect your electric vehicle service, get in touch with our team today, and we can confirm the schedule.

 

Do I have to take my car to the manufacturer’s service centre?

No, not at all. You don’t have to travel to a manufacturer’s service centre for EV servicing and repairs with our expertise.

Our garage is one of the few in Thatcham, Newbury, and the surrounding areas that are qualified to repair electric vehicles with the manufacturer’s warranty maintained.

What happens during an EV service? What do you check/replace?

1

Lights and Visibility: All lights, including internal ones, are tested for optimal performance or faults. We inspect all windows, wipers, and mirrors for faults and weak points, along with the registration plates for damage and clarity.

2

Vehicle Interior: The horn, hazard lights, air conditioning, and seat belts are tested to ensure they work properly. Additionally, we review the internal diagnostics, including warning messages from the vehicle’s internal software.

3

Steering & Suspension: Every joint, gaiter and wheel bearing is tested for strength and function. The front & rear shock absorbers are checked, and the wheel alignment.

4

Braking System: The complete brake system, including discs and pads, and all surrounding mechanisms are inspected, measured, and tracked for their service life.

5

Tyres: Tyres, including your spare, are checked for tread, and tyre pressures are adjusted before being reinstalled. Wheels are inspected for corrosion or weak spots. If necessary, inflation kits are checked as well.

6

Under the Car: All connectors are checked for corrosion, and the battery and high voltage cables are checked to make sure they have not been damaged.  The battery relies on fluid to keep it at a neutral temperature, so this is checked for levels and leaks.

7

Final Checks: We inspect brake fluid levels before making any final checks, and we update your service record.

How much does an EV service cost?

EV servicing costs may vary depending on your vehicle and the level of work required.

To get a personalised quote and to book an appointment, please contact our team of experts.

How will I be kept informed on the progress of my EV service?

At Fergies, we provide an honest and transparent approach to servicing and maintaining your electric vehicle.

Upon completing the initial inspection, we will present you with our findings and recommendations. You make the decision on what work is undertaken on your electric vehicle.

We will never surprise you with unexpected charges for work you didn’t agree to do.

Courtesy Car

While we maintain your electric car, we can provide you with a courtesy car – including electric ones. Please request a courtesy car from our team when booking your service.
