Drivers in Chertsey speak warmly of the local garages, praising friendly, honest staff, clear communication and fair, good-value pricing, with many returning year after year. Convenient options like collection and drop-off and at-home servicing are especially popular, and the mechanics are often described as punctual and knowledgeable. A few drivers noted that clearer explanations of advisories and work carried out, along with more thorough initial inspections, would be welcome, though these were occasional comments against an overwhelmingly positive picture.

Customers consistently praise this garage for its friendly, professional staff, clear communication throughout servicing and MOT work, fair pricing and the convenient collection and drop-off option, with many describing themselves as long-standing, repeat customers. A small number of reviewers raised concerns about parts pricing transparency and feeling unclear about what work had actually been carried out, so clearer breakdowns of parts used and findings could help reassure anyone with similar doubts.

Customers have found the workshop team thorough when carrying out repairs, with this reviewer pleased that an issue was ultimately put right. That said, this single review flags that initial inspections could be more comprehensive, as a brake problem was missed before being resolved.

An air conditioning system controls the temperature in a car and works in a similar way to a kitchen refrigerator. When the fluid inside such appliances (also called refrigerant) changes from a liquid state to a gas, it cools down. Outside air is blown past the coils in which the gas flows, and is therefore also cooled before it is blown into the car’s cabin. The air con gas then returns to liquid form in the system's compressor, heating it up, but the resulting warm air is directed outside the car.
Air conditioning in a car serves two purposes. It cools down the interior of a car, dramatically so if needed, which improves passenger comfort and prevents the type of heat-related irritability that may lead to an accident. Also, because air conditioners generate air that is less humid than outside air, it can be used to demist a fogged-up windscreen more quickly than when air is blown out of a standard ventilation system. This might also prevent an accident from occurring.
A simple check of the temperature of the air emanating from an air conditioning vent will tell you if the refrigerant needs a recharge - some garages use the term 're-gas'. A warm air temperature would suggest that the refrigerant is low or old. Manufacturers typically recommend a recharge no matter what every couple of years to keep the system running efficiently; this involves topping up or refilling the system with fresh refrigerant. This may be all that is needed, but an efficient air conditioning system also needs to be serviced occasionally. If the refrigerant is replaced but the air conditioning system does not seem to be operating properly, either due to warm air or low system pressure, an air conditioning service will be required.
If the pressure in the air conditioning system is particularly low, there might be a leak. This can be checked during an air conditioning service that manufacturers suggest performing every 3-4 years. As well as a test for leaks and the inspection of refrigerant levels, the condenser, the compressor, the hoses and the drive belts are checked. The service also involves a cleaning to take any contaminants, bacteria or moisture out of the system before any new refrigerant is added, followed by a full recharge. It is important to note that an air conditioning service is not included in routine car services but has to be booked separately. Remember to do so because an inefficient air conditioner places greater demands on a car’s engine and requires more fuel to generate cool air, not to mention that any resident bacteria might cause illness.

What do you need from your garage?
We all have different needs, and choosing a garage is no different. For some of us, it’s the quality of the overall service which matters most; not just the work that’s done under the bonnet, but the human interaction that comes with it. BookMyGarage allows you to compare Chertsey garages on everything from their waiting room refreshments or whether having your toddler in tow is going to be a problem, to how clearly the staff can explain the work your car requires.
