    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

    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.

    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.

    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 !

  • 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

    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.

    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.

    I’ve been taking my cars to Shaun and the Fergies team for a few years now and will continue to do so.
    The customer service, knowledge and value for money is fantastic and they always look after me. The fact they are always so busy is testament and it’s great to see the business growing!

  • Kaye Walton

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
