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

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.

On my Jensen MK1 Alex repaired and welded the bonnet to a great standard. Would recommend his work 100% Thank you.

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

Alex and the team have been incredible. They did a brilliant job bringing my MGB back to life after 15 years of being garaged. They are also really helpful with advice and support when needed. Would highly recommend.

Post from Bob Ager
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!

Fantastic customer service, absolute top man, done an absolute flawless jobs on my MGB, would highly recommend

Honestly, these guys are top notch by all standards mentionable. In my opinion, quick and efficient job handling and brilliant communication. Great servicing and repair standard aswell as restoration! Can’t recommend these guys enough, feel encouraged to give them a shout for your needs!

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.
Thanks A1

Top guys really friendly people who provide really good service

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”

I’ve taken a while to get round to reviewing this company owing to the time it’s taken to correct the work they carried out. They had my classic 1970s car in for an engine rebuild and after having it for a year, attempting the rebuild 3 times and not managing to complete the job I decided enough was enough and asked for the car back. I was told I couldn’t have it back until I paid for the work even though it was by their own admission unusable, so reluctantly I had to pay to release my vehicle. Or they threatened to leave it outside in their compound. On receiving my car back (which, to add insult to injury, I also had to pay them to deliver it!) I had an independent engineer assess their work. They had done such a shoddy job that the engine was rendered unsalvageable, timing chain incorrectly fitted, holes drilled in cylinder heads causing leaks, unmatched pistons, the list goes on, so I then had to source a replacement engine. No mean feat! These people are rude and totally incompetent and should not be in business. I can only imagine the good reviews must have been left by friends as the previous review seems all too familiar. Please take heed of this review and stay well clear. I’ve only given them one star as I can’t give them zero!

Ollie is a great guy, took to all my car problems and explained everything clearly giving me options and good value for money. He went above and beyond and if I ever have any car issues I know where I’m going.. A1 classic car restoration!!!

Called in unexpectedly for a minor repair on my Caterham and Allon White were fantastic to do the repair straight away with precision and professionalism. Many thanks to you all. Highly recommend.

Morgan Sports Car showroom, redesigned areas well worth a revisit very knowledgeable friendly and helpful people no pressure, highly recommended

Purchased a 1969 Morgan V Series with new engine and complete mechanical overhaul in 2005

Would recommended, good honest company.

Ok

Very friendly, professional Morgan dealership.

Very nice press and quite nice people

Excellent work quality with many new dedicated staff

Very nice people couldn’t have been more helpful

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.

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!

Great advice! Great selection. Competent, nice employees. Trying to find exactly the right thing for you. Always my pleasure!

Ladies and Gentlemen

I have to admit, this was my fourth time with you! In fact, I confess that when I enter the store there is no greeting, lack of connection with the customer and general lack of interest
“Why is the customer visiting us and how can I help him further”

The last time I came to visit was because I wanted to bring my “RockShox Lyrik Ultimate” suspension fork in for service.

The colleague wrote down my details three/four weeks ago; he wanted to clarify it with Lemon Shox in Nuremberg, based on his own recommendation.

To date no call back!

In order to benefit even better from the general core business!

My recommendation…

1. Active greeting to the customer

2. Make the customer feel welcome. A returning customer is worth their weight in gold.

3. How do I approach a customer and how do I encourage them to purchase products? He could leave a lot of money behind.

4. Respond to customer requests.

You have a great and modern store, “the first and last impression” is important for the customer.

If you have captivated the customer with conviction, he will not go to the competition. Your core business thrives on “regular customers” and they are very important! Because the customer pays the employees’ salaries.

Rock your store 🤘🏽

I get everything I need for my single speed bike there. With impeccable advice from the owner. Simply Fürth’s best bike shop!

Very nice staff! Recommend this store!

SM-Parts is characterized by competent and friendly advice, fast and reliable delivery and an all-round solid range. Therefore 5 stars and highly recommended.

Super nice team
And no challenge
Which they can’t solve!!!

Great service

Always my pleasure!!!!

Very fast processing and shipping.
Frame was securely packed and arrived perfectly.
Any time.

Excellent work on my Ferrari F12b.
Highly recommended!

Brilliant service, above and beyond excellent. Ben the owner strives for perfection in every way,

Can’t recommend Ben and Blackline classic cars enough. Going way above and beyond to leave my modern classic Saab aero looking better than when it left the factory is some achievement.
Communication, service and execution of the work was friendly and very professional. Thanks to Ben and the team. You will see me again

Blackline Classic Car Restoration recently resprayed the front of my cherished Z4 Alpina, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship are truly unmatched. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-notch classic car restoration.

They do really excellent classic car maintenance and restoration with friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend.

Very impressed with their professionalism just had a repair on my vehicle. Thanks, guys really good job.

Top service if you have a classic car bp classics are the team for would highly recommend quality service and know what they are doing thank you

Have never bought a car without seeing it in person, you can have complete confidence with BP Classic cars. Bought a Morris Minor for my daughter, Mark couldn’t have been more helpful, even placed a MOT on the car even though it’s not necessary purely for my peace of mind. Car arrived in better condition than described. First time that’s ever happened to me! Highly recommended people.

Excellent service and very helpful

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.

Brilliant guys, took me 3 years to find this garage! A garage that cares for older cars! Thanks alot for all your help.

Stopped here on the way up to London today after my mini had a loose hose, was repaired and on the way in 5 minutes with no charge . Can’t praise highly enough and if you’re willing to help a struggling traveller it speaks highly of the way you run your business . Great people and great service 👍

Brad has worked on my cars for around 20 years. No-one knows classic machines better and no job is beyond him and Andy. Just finished some engine work and a service / tune up of my P6 and I can’t recall it running so well.

Brad and Andy are lovely gents with lots of knowledge. They helped me get my car wedding ready with quite a tight deadline. I will definitely use them again. Easy access off the 303. Very reasonable pricing for what they do. 10/10.

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.

Simply brilliant service ! Incredibly knowledgeable, always friendly and the care and attention given to every job is first class, I wouldn’t go anywhere else with my classics,

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.

Absolute professional and extremely knowledgeable – He kept me updated throughout and the service was outstanding.

Would definitely recommend and I’m sure I’ll be back

An incredibly professional job done by the most friendly and helpful people.

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!

Great resto company, good attention to detail

Brilliant service from Carn Bosavern garage, I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Excellent garage. Called and spoke to Joe first thing in the morning as my engine light came on whilst on holiday. He asked me to pop by and leave the car with him at 10 am and he would squeeze engine diagnostics in to his already fully booked schedule. I left the car with him walked 5 mins in to town to grab a coffee and cake, then around an hour later he called to to say he’d fixed and test driven the car which is now ready for collection.
Full itemised invoice and helpful description of the fault on arrival together with a competitive price. Would recommend.

Viewed some of the completed & under restoration cars saw superb work & results

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!

Excellent well priced service.

First time using the garage and it’s very friendly family-run would definitely recommend

Big thanks to all the guys at the garage who went to retrieve my car and sorted it out (including Mot) all in about 5 hours on the same day: incredible!!!! Joe was a star and nothing was too much trouble. Would whole-heartedly recommend this place.

Paul has done two quality jobs on corroded sections of my classic Mini. Both jobs needed custom made repair patches to complete. Paul explained exactly what work had been done whilst I had a tour of the underside of the car! Many thanks for a great job.
