About Us

This is also reflected in saving my customers thousands of pounds from other garage quotes as there are so many repair options on today's modern cars. Our low overheads and excellent workmanship along with continued customer care makes so many peop

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How Do I Compare Prices Between Garages in Southampton?

All our comparison listings are like-for-like, so when you need a garage in Southampton, you know that you’re always getting the best deal in the area.

We either show instant prices or garages’ hourly labour rate, depending on the product you select. If you want to find the cheapest garage in your area, you can filter the search results by Prices.

Are There Any Garages in Southampton That Specialise in Specific Car Brands or Makes?

Franchised dealerships usually specialise in one or two car brands as they have contracts with certain manufacturers to sell, service and repair their vehicles. If you like the gold standard of car maintenance, you might usually choose your local franchised garage to receive expert care and attention from technicians that know your vehicle best.

There are plenty of UK franchised dealerships listed on BookMyGarage.com, both as SecretServiceTM garages offering excess availability at a discounted price and as standard comparison listings.

Enter your reg and postcode to find out whether there are any franchised dealerships in Southampton and book an appointment with them in just 2 clicks.

How Can I Find the Top Garages in Southampton?

If you want to find a highly rated garage in Southampton, filter the search results by Reviews. This will show you the top-rated garages near you, based on the number of 5* reviews they have received from like-minded drivers and the total number of reviews they have received through BookMyGarage.

Are Finance Options Available for More Expensive Repairs?

Yes, some garages listed on our comparison site offer interest-free repayment plans through the Payment Assist programme (minimum spend may apply).

You can find a list of UK garages signed up to this programme on the Payment Assist website. This can help you make an informed choice if you know your car needs expensive repairs that you may otherwise struggle to afford.

How Can I Guarantee the Quality of Work from Garages in Southampton?

We provide unfiltered, unedited reviews of every garage that’s listed on our comparison site. These are genuine experiences from previous customers which can go a long way to giving you the peace of mind you deserve when choosing a local garage.

On top of that, many garages that we work with offer a parts and labour warranty to guarantee the quality of their repairs for a specified length of time. Some may even use Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts for greater quality and peace of mind.

Most importantly, we only work with garages that consistently meet our high standards of customer service and reliability and remove those that provide drivers with sub-par service. That means when you choose a Southampton garage through BookMyGarage.com, you can guarantee a high-quality experience.

Are There any Ways that Local Garages Make My Life Easier During the Appointment?

You can add any of the following services to your MOT or service booking made through BookMyGarage.com at participating garages (subject to availability)
• Vehicle Collection and Delivery. The garage will come and collect your car from your home or place of work and return it after all the work is complete.
• Customer Drop-off. You take your vehicle to the garage and they give you a lift to where you need to go. You may need to make your own way back to the garage to collect your vehicle.
• Loan Car. If you’ve got places to be, you may be able to secure a courtesy car to keep you on the road.

Some garages offer these services for free, while others may charge an additional fee.

If you would like to book one of these services with your MOT or service, just select it from the product dropdown when you enter your reg and postcode above. This will ensure you only see eligible garages that provide this service in the comparison results.

You may be able to book these services at your chosen garage for other maintenance jobs, but you should check with them directly as we don’t currently offer the ability to book them with anything except an MOT or service.
