    First time recommended to use Fergies and not disappointed, Lovely friendly staff from front of house to the garage team.

    Wow - what a find ! They use technology well and deliver clear and coherent work estimates in plain English. I had to wait an hour in reception (not their fault as a courier was late in delivering a part) and you can learn a lot doing so. Shaun runs a friendly, informed and motivated team who interact well and it is very clear they want to go that extra mile for their customers. Light years... Read More

    People are often quick to leave negative reviews, so I wanted to take the time to share my positive experience in full. After growing tired of main dealers overcharging, I came across Fergies thanks to their fantastic reviews — and I'm very glad I did.

    I took my BMW M6 to Fergies for an MOT. It had not previously failed an MOT but this time it did. Fergies also checked the car more thoroughly and came up with a long list of service items that were overdue and put the car at risk. Their quotation/approval system is clear and efficient and I was kept informed of progess throughout. Fergies have earned many 5 star reviews and my experience has... Read More

    Hello! I want to thank the folks at Fergies for their amazing help with my car. Previously, I had a bad experience with some mechanics at a dealership, where I was told to replace the turbo, but the problem still wasn’t fixed. The team at Fergies was extremely professional, they repaired my car quickly, and now I can continue my deliveries without any worries. I’d give them a 20 out of... Read More

    First time using Fergies. Their customer service is exemplary and unparalleled compared with any other garage I’ve had work done at. The staff were polite and friendly, communicating frequently while the car was worked on. The work was completed quickly and the car returned to me having been valeted to a high standard (even the engine bay). Can't recommend them enough.

  • D Smith

    Do you like your car, or do you love your car?
    That's the question you need to ask yourself. If you like your car get it booked in for the cheapest quote, the bloke down the pub who tinkers with a motor on the weekend and it will get the job done.
    If you love your car, then get it booked in at Fergies. Genuine quality parts used, for what your car needs. Updates on how your car is... Read More

    As soon as I booked my car in with Shaun it was fantastic customer service from everyone involved from the beginning to the end. The car had a few issues to solve and these were done in a timely manner and I was updated with cost and when the repairs were due to be finished. When I picked up the car it was like driving a new car off the garage forecourt.

  • Chris Maving

    25th March 2025

    I have used Fergies twice now and they continue to give a service that is impressing me. I get the regular updates through email of the work they've carried out or what work they advise...with prices and the option to say Yes or No so you feel in control. The vehicle always comes back nice and clean and the premises they use is very contemporary with the offer of quality Tea, coffee and... Read More

    Professional but personal experience. Friendly welcoming staff. Car had issues, more than expected, but the experience was made more palatable by the way it was handled. Felt looked after and atm, a few weeks post, all is good.

  • Michael Bishop

    5th February 2025

    I have been using Fergies for three years now, after being badly let down by a previous garage.

    I have always been impressed by the quality of workmanship, customer service and their attention to detail.

    I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone!

    Fergie's offer first class service. Everyone you encounter is friendly. When I dropped off my car I was given the opportunity to speak to the mechanic and explain the issues I was having. The team were exceptional in every way and professional from start to finish. No hesitation in recommending.

    First visit today and very impressed with all aspects. Very knowledgeable staff who are enthusiasts for the cars they specialise in. As a result, my problem was resolved much more effectively than the local main dealer at a fraction of the cost. Also, a decent cup of coffee! Well done.

  • Daniel Green

    16th January 2025

    Great service from the guys at Fergies on my BMW 550. They managed to sort out the handbrake and get me back on the road in time for my holiday. I will be heading back to them for some more bits that need doing when I get back. Thanks guys.

  • Chloe Stevens

    11th January 2025

    Highly recommend this truth-worthy garage. Each time I have used them for multiple jobs and they have always been professional, polite and have always kept me updated with bigger jobs. I have always walked away happy with the work that has been completed from this knowledgeable trust worthy team. Wouldn’t send my car anywhere else!

    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.
