Alexplus camper was great welding up my classic plus other mechanical jobs and dropped and good value 10 out of 10 it off for me reliable and friendly

Malcolm Pryme

I approach Alex asking if he could help me with some internal trim, bumper & door alignment problems, along with paint issues to some panels, on my grandfathers 1962 Morris 1000. He advised that he had a full order book for some weeks ahead but would certainly be able to do the work late Oct. I explained it was for use in my daughters wedding early Oct. He said he would sort work out to make sure it could be fitted into his schedule. This ended up with him working a Saturday and Sunday to meet his promise. The work from his team was perfect, great value and his commitment to assist was above and beyond my expectations. The car looked fantastic and it was a wonderful last trip with Clare as my daughter, before her amazing wedding.
Whist the car was Clare’s great grandfather’s from new, she recalls her grandfather restoring it and using regularly. Hence in his remembrance she requested we used it as our Wedding car.

Had my classic mini restored here. From what the car went in looking like and how it has come home looking like is amazing better than how it left the factory. Some mini common issues have been modified to stop water getting trapped 2.
They have gone above and beyond with the restoration.
slight issue on a pannel or 2 after paint cured, (expected when undergoing such a big restore and full paint) but once told they were on it to rectify, not like most other garage’s who say once car is back its not their issue.
The car paint and bodywork is like glass finish

Great news for classic car enthusiasts in Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard. A new start up classic car restoration business in Stoke Hammond. I have now used them three times, first was a call out to solve a non starting problem, secondly a carburettor tuning issue and thirdly some new engine mounts.In every instance, the service was effecient and proffessional. I am confident that Alex has the facilities and competence to take on a wide variety of classic car restoration projects. As a bonus, as a start up they do not have to charge VAT!

I worked with Ollie and Neil at A1. What a breath of fresh air, they shared everything they found with me, offered me videos and pictures so I could make an informed decision on the work I wanted doing. They gave me options to fit my budget. I couldn’t be happier with how the work turned out. I’m refering these guys to everyone I know. I will definetly use them again.

To be avoided at all costs. Rude, unhelpful, uncommunicative, disorganised, and shoddy work carried out. Lets leave it to O.Irwin’s own written words in communication with his customer:
Disorganised: ”sorry mate we are doing 3 or 4 SL at the minute and your all have similar stuff all all the parts got on each others cars but slightly different in places i’m just getting so confused” (sic).
Rude: ”I’m busy and will get around to it when i can until then go away”
And from the garage sorting out the A1 mess post the failed MOT:
Incompetent: ”the new rear brake calipers were fitted upside down …the rear brake shoe adjusters are fitted incorrectly … front wheel bearings were seriously over tightened which at 70MPH would have destroyed the front stub axels”

Super friendly & competent staff.
I took my purely “external” racing bike in for an inspection and had the shifter repaired and 2 new tires installed. Everything went really quickly with online scheduling and I am very satisfied. Many thanks to the team! Gladly again.

Danny Steinbrecher
in the last week

I had an excellent experience at SM-Parts and would highly recommend the store to any cycling enthusiast! 🚴

Marcel, the manager of the shop, impressed me with his friendly and competent manner. He took a lot of time to respond precisely to my wishes and always responded quickly to my emails. 👍 It was also exciting that he recommended a cheaper version of the bike (suitable to my needs), which I am completely satisfied with. Some margin may have been lost here, but my trust was gained even more. 🌟

The absolute highlight of my consultation, however, was the tire recommendation – in my almost 20 years of MTB and gravel experience, I have not ridden a better tire!

My special requests were also organized without any problems. And the bike was assembled without any errors. Everything is where it needs to be.
All in all, it was an outstanding experience at SM-Parts that I wouldn’t want to miss. I will definitely come back!

3. Friendliness: great

I have been riding fixed gear for over 15 years and can only recommend SM Parts as a “bicycle specialist shop” without exception! For me, SM-Parts stands for first-class know-how paired with a really good selection of parts… that you can’t find anywhere else. BIG OPS! Keep the spirit alive! *****

Car arrived in better condition than described. First time that’s ever happened to me! Highly recommended people.

I bought the green Vauxhall 101 Estate from,BP CLASSIC CARS LINCOLNSHIRE, 5yrs ago . I have been unable to use it as I have not been able to get a V5c,I had to apply for a V5c as I didn’t get one from them,after a lot of communication with the DVLA,it turns out that the vin numbers don’t match up with there records,and I have got to apply for a new V5c. I phoned BP CLASSICS but they don’t want to know. So be careful and check the vin number and car match up before you buy from them.

Recently bought an M3 and needed a fault code checked along with a wheel vibration. I wanted somewhere I could trust to look after the car and not boot it before it’s warmed up etc. After a recommendation from an Aston owner Bradley managed to get me in within a week. I had regular updates and all issues were sorted with no problems. Top service if you worry about where to take your pride and joy.

Recently booked my classic Camaro in to Brad’s as it had a persistent stumble on acceleration which was proving very difficult to get rid of along with a few other bits that needed doing.

Brad sussed it out within a day and completely cured it.

I cannot recommend Bushells enough! My wife and I absolutely love going there just to see the exotic cars they’re currently working on. It feels like we’ve stumbled upon one of Kent’s best kept secrets. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so we’ve had two of our own vehicles, in their shop now (as they don’t just do classics and super cars) and they truly do a fantastic job. The attention to detail they provide is exactly what we were looking for and what makes it even better is the entire team at Bushells is super friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable!

I have been going to Carn Bosavern Garage for a few years now and having been to a handful of garages in the area, they are by far the best. As a younger lady it is hard to find a garage that will not take advantage of you for being a bit clueless, but Terry, Joe and the team always make sure to get you the best price they can and will not replace something unless it definitively needs it. My other family members and partner also go here now and it has been the same brilliant service for them too. They have even told us approx how many miles are left on tyres that others may have taken advance of and just changed. Excellent service and they do my 3.5ton work van. Thanks guys!
