Have been using Grover Motors for both cars in the family for more than ten years. Always reliable, honest and good value for money. Why go anywhere else.

Full Service + MOT Clio

Service

Quality

Value

I wanted a full service and MOT for my small car. I was recommended by my partner who in turn was recommended by her sister who has used the garage for years and years. I have recently moved to the area, and use Formula 1 garages, but there is not one near me now. I was pleasantly surprised with the excellent customer service, speed or of service (for the work that was done) and value for money. Everything was itemised so you know what you are paying for. I will definitely use this garage again and have no problems recommending others to give this garage a try.

Called up just after 10am today and they offered to do service and MOT that day, I dropped it in straight away and picked it up just after 12pm! Superb service, gave me some advice on my vehicle and good value, cheapest service I have had a while. Would definitely recommend to others.

Last Minute MOT!

Service

Quality

Value

Last Minute MOT - I needed a last minute MOT done on the car today and this garage was the only local one able to fit me in. I phoned through and they were able to do it on the same day which was great. Service was great and really friendly with information given on the car as it was tested. If you dont want wait go across the road as there are several shops to while away the time. I have lived near this garage for 11 years and never used it, but that will now change! Highly recommended and will be back for MOT and any car work I need. Forget the bigger guys as they will just sell you additional unwanted stuff.

Very Reasonable Quote

Service

Quality

Value

I have visited Grover just a few times as he was recommended to me by a friend who had been using him for years and I was not disappointed the first time I booked my car in for an MOT and service but it turned out nothing within the service needed doing so I was not charged for it unlike other garages which would of carried on and done it anyway. This time it went in to have the motor replaced on the windscreen washer which was sorted within 15mins. While in I asked for a quote on a new starting motor and was expecting it to be very high but the quote I actually got was value for money which surprisingly included the labour as well. Not surprisingly it is getting booked in at the end of the month. Very honest and polite man, excellent customer service skills and just because you are female and sometimes know nothing about cars he does not try to rip you off like other companies its the same price for all. I will be using Grover for many years to come thats for sure.

Excellent

Service

Quality

Work colleague had MOT done here after seeing reviews on google. I took my car down for its MOT (have always had it down at dealership paying a fortune!) - also needed service so said what the hell get it done. Can honestly say nothing short of brilliant - booked in 2 sep appointments, one for MOT and the other for service. All managed to get done on first appointment, had a chat through the things that had been done and was also told the spark plugs are midway through the mileage so might as well wait a while (pretty sure dealer would have just replaced and charged!) - The nicest guy you'll meet in the industry and in this climate its just what you need. Will definately take my car there for anything now and have also recommended to friends and family. (I work for the local newspaper in the area and have put this cards up around the office to recommend good honest work at very affordable prices) Brilliant!

What a great service - I booked in my car and he not only charged me a minimal fee, but when another problem came up as a result of the work he fixed whilst I waited - a short period - and charged me nothing. Would recommend to all

This is the first time i had used this garage, I phoned in the morning with my car problems, My car was fitted in the same day and repaired on the spot. The service was very friendly and informative and this garage was great value for money. Derek also looked at another issue with the car whilst i was waiting and gave advice on extras that would save me money in the future. Have already recomended the garage to my family and would recomend them to any one who asked in future.

I have used this garage on many occasions and still go there since moving to Bournemouth 5 years ago. We use the garage for all our cars in the family.

Great service. This guy does not rip you off. If your car needs a major repair he consults you first and does it at very short notice. I have used him for over 10 years. To the first reviewer. Your car was faulty even by the 2nd opinion and needed fixing. If you skimped on any work done than needed doing then more fool you.

Great Service & great advice!

I used Grovers to MOT my car, I knew about the Gent who runs the place Via work as we have all of our cars MOT'd by him. It failed, and it was explained and showed to me what exactly was required for me to do, i went away and come back a week later with all the work done and it was passed, the quote that he gave me to do the work was acurate, the only reason that i didnt pay him to do it was because i could do it and save myself the labour. I have never had a "Duff" MOT done by the guy and in all honesty i would consider him to be impartial and fair. I would recomend this garage to anyone that i wouldnt do the work for myself.

I only go to Grover Motors once a year for my MOT. I always maintain my car giving it regular oil changes and servicing and do basic checks before any MOT. My car has passed straight through the MOT for the last 3 years with no hidden cost other than the MOT certificate. Mr Grover has given me good advice on things that needed attention and I have found him to be an honest and trustworthy gentleman. There are hundreds of garages in southampton who want to rip you off but this is not one of them.

I have to start by saying that the previous comment is very untrue. I have been a customer for many years with Grover Motors and have never had a bad thing to say. I am always offered advice and estimated prices before work is completed, this company is reliable and honest and is fully registered and complies with all ministry checks. If in the other comment your friend was so good why didn't you take it to him first? Grover Motors has been open for over 30 years and has many regular customers that would only agree that the business is professional and trustworthy. I will defiantly continue to use this business for all my cars in the future. I will continue to recommend the business to friends. do not always believe the first thing you read from other people.
