Most reviewers praise Charminster Auto Repairs for friendly, honest staff, quick turnarounds, clear communication and easy online booking, with many citing fair or competitive prices and long‑term loyalty for MOTs and servicing. A smaller but notable minority report serious issues — missed calls or no callbacks, unexpected or higher-than-agreed charges, refusal to carry out booked work, occasional damage or incorrect fitting, and rude behaviour. Widely recommended for prompt, trustworthy local service, prospective customers should nonetheless confirm prices and bookings in writing to avoid the handful of organisational or billing problems.
