Testimonials from our Audi, VW, Skoda, SEAT and Bentley customers

We care about our customers – read a selection of their testimonials

I was finally brave enough to take my car to get repair at a different mechanics. I searched online and found Russell Automotive Centre. I must say this was the best choice I have ever made in regards to anything to do with my car. From the moment I phoned on the phone and entered the garage I was amazed. Presentation was top notch, customer service skills where the best I have seen in a long time. I literally thought I was being pranked or in heaven, they even offered and dropped me at the shopping centre while I wait for my car to be repaired free of charge, and on top of this offered to wash and clean the car free of charge. Honestly I will not hesitate to bring my car back and will recommend everyone that, once you go Russell you won’t go back :)

Thank you and your team for the speedy work done to my car.  You provided updates throughout and as a bonus the car was cleaned when it came back.  I have no hesitation to recommend you to friends and family and work colleagues in the future.

Thank you for the work you did on my mother’s car.  As you know she is elderly and disabled.  You took this onboard and the fact you were able to pick up and drop off her car made her life very easy.  You are an absolute diamond.

The only people I would trust with my Audi A4 Quattro. They identified an issue with my suspension 12 mths ago, not inexpensive to fix, and an Audi main dealer contradicted them so I left it alone. How wrong I was, as the tyre wear (entirely as predicted by Russell Automotive) turned out to be atrocious. Back to Russell Automotive to get it fixed. They also saved me £800 from a misdiagnosed problems elsewhere with my suspension. Steve absolutely knows his stuff. ” Steve B

My car had its annual service and I got the very high standard of service I have come to expect from the team at the Russell Automotive Centre. However, this time they went one better. When they called to say the car was ready for collection they heard me over the phone and realised that my health had taken a turn for the worse. Without prompting they delivered the car to my home. Going the extra mile was a very pleasant surprise. A bonus with this team that in the years that I have used their services they have explained things clearly in plain English and have never attempted to make capital of my lack of knowledge. This I know as the facts have been corroborated by friends who do know about cars. Thank you to an excellent centre made so by the team effort of the staff there.” Zeeba K

Had the Cambelt kit, water pump and auxiliary belt/s replaced on my 03 A4 B6. I also had the alternator pulley replaced as it was making a lot of noise. Also had a full major service. During the service they discovered a broken wire in the drivers door (so that is what was causing bulbs to blow continuously and also affected the alarm and drivers door window!) That was fixed. One of the CV gaiters was torn and replaced. All the work required was cleared with me before they went ahead. The car has been transformed to its former glory. A brilliant job by the guys at Russell Automotive. I am very pleased with the work done and not only will I be using their services again (if and when needed) but will definitely be recommending them too. A very pleased and satisfied first time user.

Best service I have ever had from a garage (Especially main dealers) in almost FIFTY YEARS of driving.Unbelievable brilliant service, at last, I have found a garage that I can trust to do what is needed on my car, and when they say they have done something on my car I know it needed doing and I know it was done. Possibly the best garage in the UK!” Barry R

Finding a trustworthy, approachable garage with the expertise and excellent customer service is very difficult to find. I have been so pleased in finding Russell Automotive Centre to work on my car. Having used other garages/main dealers over the years I have been left disappointed in the customer service/expertise/honestly and general quality of the work. I have had some work on my car by Russell Automotive Centre and I have always been impressed and had absolute no concerns that my car is being looked after. Being a working parent and having a baby it’s difficult to take the car to Russell Automotive Centre, but Sudesh and Steve arranged for the car to be picked up and dropped off after the repair has been made, which for a parent who has children to consider is a big relief and a help. During the repair I was been kept up-to-date of any issues and progress. In addition, the expertise is second-to-none and any complex issues are explained in laymans terms for customers to understand by Sudesh Patel (Service Manager) and Steve Russell (Owner). Please do not believe the myth that ONLY a main dealer has the knowledge to repair your car, as Russell Automotive Centre have all the diagnostic software you will find in a main dealer, with years of real-world experience of VAG cars from Steve Russell and his engineers. Thanks to all at Russell Automotive Centre I have been VERY happy with the reliable, honest and excellent customer service. So if you have had any issues with other garages or main dealers pop into Russell Automotive Centre YOU WILL NOT BE DISSPOINTED! It’s easy for me to say but I WILL guarantee you that, after you have used them you will be confused why you never used them before and wonder why having your car repaired/serviced was so much of a hassle/worry before. So for all you people that are looking for a reliable and value for money garage, look no further then Russell Automotive Centre, and be prepared to NOT use ANY OTHER garage to repair/service your car EVER again. Come on! give them a try what you got to lose? other than having your cherished car get the TLC it deserves to keep you on the road! And you can smile having piece of mind your getting the best technical and customer service possible! From Michael Michael T

We would like to thank Russell Automotive Centre yet again on a superb service regarding our Audi vehicles.

This is a short line to say thank you to you and your team. Finding a garage that you can trust takes time, finding a garage that invoices you for the correct amount takes time, finding a garage that does not let you down, also takes time.

Russell Automotive SAVES us time. You collect the car, you service the car, you clean the car, you deliver the car…With a competitive invoice to follow!

Keep up the great work, a Big thank you from MCSP. Gary C May 2012


Highly recommend Russell Automotive Centre.

Your technicians have fixed a recurring problem I have had with my car, and you very kindly didn’t invoice me for my last visit. As an added bonus my car was valeted inside and out as well. In my opinion your industry service awards are fully justified.

I look forward to using your services again soon.

Thank you very much for providing me with our new Audi Key.

My partner’s bag was unfortunately stolen and the key was in her bag at the time. To our horror the cost of a replacement key was realised. However you were able to save us a substantial amount of money compared to the Audi dealer’s price. You were also able to process our request in a more efficient manner.

To top it off you also washed the car when I picked up the key, a true example of your superior service.

Andrew Hart Andrew H February 2012


When a yellow warning light suddenly appeared on my car dashboard I knew exactly whose help I would need and, sure enough, help was at hand.

Within 24 hours of telephoning Jane Russell at Russell Automotive Centre, my car was being inspected by a skilled technician. Within 10 minutes I was provided with a clear, understandable diagnosis and the knowledge that my car was safe, roadworthy and that I had nothing at all to worry about.

The staff were very friendly, Russell Automotive Centre was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. For quality and peace of mind do call Russell Automotive Centre.

Russell Automotive

My daughter Sarah and my wife both bought new VW Polos just 6 weeks apart. It wasn’t until I spoke to Jane from Russell Automotive that I learnt that the cars did not in fact have to be serviced by a VW Main Dealer to stay in warranty. Last week Russell Automotive gave my wifes car its first full service. Very nice job smoothly and efficiently carried out with much appreciated complimentary wash and vacuum.

Unfortunately Sarah had her cars first service just a week before my chat with Jane.

Cost of Sarahs VW main dealer service £258.00. Cost of Natalies Russell Automotive service £156.22. Russell Automotive saved me £102.22.

Thank you very much Jane and Russell Automotive!

Professional, friendly and trustworthy, Steve always explains what may be wrong with my car and how he proposes to diagnose and fix it. He has a lovely manner, and makes sure I understand what he is doing without being patronising or dismissive.

His team work quickly and efficiently and when the car is returned it’s always sparking clean thanks to a much needed and much appreciated complimentary wash and vacuum.

“I just wanted to say a big thank you for the way your garage went about organising my Audi’s recent service.

I was called by yourselves to arrange a collection and a man came to my office to collect it at 9.30 the next morning.

I was told the price it would be in advance-so no surprises there. I was offered the choice of additional work if I wanted it.

The car was brought back to my office at 4.30pm the same day all spotlessly clean and fully serviced.

Fantastic !!

I didn’t have to move a muscle- what a great way to go about things. I would certainly recommend you.”

I brought the car down to you the very same day, you looked at it immediately, took it straight into your workshop and had the car fixed within ten minutes for me and may i add no cost to me.

I would also like to thank you for the service you gave to my car last week.

You asked me to let you know what effect the Superchips upgrade had that you did to my Audi (A4 1.9 TDI) at the end of January.

The first thing that I noticed was that the car is far more responsive when starting from stationary. There’s no longer a lag between my putting my foot on the accelerator and the car moving off.

Secondly, my car performs considerably better. For example, less pressure on the accelerator is required to achieve a given speed than previously.

In addition, I’m getting more miles per gallon on motorway journeys. What’s surprised me is that fuel economy seems better at a higher speed than before the upgrade.

Cheers

Excellent service that exceeds the standards of the main dealer network at a more reasonable price. Scrupulously clean service environment and very professional service. 10 out of 10. I shall certainly be a repeat customer for the maintenance of my Audi TT 3.2. Mike Brain” April 2010


Hi Steve just a quick thank you for sorting my suspension out, the car is back to its former self.

I have always used a Volkswagen specialist garage for many years, (since I bought my car brand new), but my car has problems and they were still notresolved. I have spent a fortune on many useless repairs. I decided to go with another garage which is Russell Automotive Centre, they repaired my car once and it is now in great condition and no further problem at all. I got full satisfaction and the service was up to an excellent standard. Therefore, I really appreciated their excellent service. 23/11/09


They continue to provide me with high levels of service and high standards of customer care! 06/11/09


Very well looked after! 27/20/09
