Allesley Garage Coventry 244 Birmingham Road, Allesley, Coventry CV5 9HD

"Owner was really helpful and fitted me in short notice. MOT completed in the evening which was convenient. Finished at exactly the time they started. Great service, thanks."

"Had to urgently repair my car at this garage due to faulty engine. They charged me 160£ for doing diagnostic(45£), changing 1 ignition coil + they told they had to add extra 2.5l of oil to engine(!) ,seemed very strange. Unreasonable price. When I tried to expalin to the owner of the garage that it's not fair price I've been told or I have to pay or I will not get my keys back and my car would be just a scrap. After that I had the same problem with the engine, went to another garage and paid 70£(labour+parts) for replacing all 4(!) ignition coils + 4 spark plugs, and diagnostic was free of charge! Please avoid this place if you can especially if you're not local/foreigner like me because the owner seemed a racist to me."

"First had my MOT done here as its within walking distance, which was quick, easy and reasonably priced, however on one cold morning when my car started playing up they managed to stick around to let me drop it off even though they were due to close (Id been asleep after a night shift) and the next day even after testing the problem had disappeared... know that dealers charge just for plugging the computer in, let alone the time spent actually working on checking it over I was expecting a reasonable bill. I was very pleased when they told me there'd be no charge as the fault appears to have rectified itself, and I'll happily bring my car back in the future."

"The only garage in Coventry that I trust. I have been using this garage for quite a few years, both for MOTs and faults. Each time I have found them to be very honest and professional. I am not someone with a great deal of money and have consistently been taking my old banger of a vehicle for repairs. Each time I expect it to be greatly expensive, or advised to scrap it. Neither is the case. Thank you gents for your efforts, it is truly appreciated."

"I went in because my car was kangarooing and the engine warning light came on, the garage used a machine which diagnosed a problem with the throttle and gearbox. The man who did this said it was just an electrical fault, turned the light off and sent me on my way even though I said it was not driving correctly. 2 days later the light came back on, I went back to the garage and they said there was nothing wrong with the gearbox and throttle, and again, turned the engine warning light off and said it could be anything but as long as it drives, the diagnostic machine is wrong! the man was very dismissive, could not care less and appeared very inexperienced. I drove off, car threatening to break down and went to another garage. The new garage was shocked at the way Allesley garage handled the problem and they found that my gearbox had burned out all of its oil and the throttle had a number of issues which they corrected immediately. Please read the other review and mine and think carefully before going to Allesley garage. They have terrible customer service, ignore faults if they cant see them straight away and can leave a driver in danger of breaking down and spending more money on simple faults that they cannot be bothered to work on."
