Top Mechanics For Camshaft Position Sensor Replacement & Repairs in Cardiff

117 Reviews

Garage serving Cardiff, 15 years of experience

4 years at a BMW specialist and MOT centre. 5 years at a small local company with vehicle recovery work and repairs.

“Simon had to come to me 3 times in the day because of issues regarding the car which meant going for other parts. He never made me feel it was a chore to do so and was always friendly and approachable. He understood I was on day 2 of taking a day off work because of the car and worried about having to take a third day off. He worked hard and smoothly to ensure it was all done. He knew what he was doing and was very knowledgable. I felt he went above and beyond for me and would recommend super Simon to everyone. I hope his management take note and give him some extra reward and recognition.”

“Both fantastic and friendly. They got the job done in 15mins which was very quick. Despite the certain part being hard to find and had no luck with two previous garages, they managed to find it no problem. They were told that the part was coming in on the day I asked but the supplier had issues on it being delivered on time. This was obviously no fault of the mechanics but they kept me in the loop and were happy to accommodate another day to my suiting if needed. Would highly recommend!”

“Great garage. Was late picking up my car but after my initial call, I was kept informed. My car was collected and the work carried out with the car being returned to me well after hours due to the owner working on due to needing to cover staff sickness, which he explained when I called in the morning.

Sickness can’t be helped, and the owner went above and beyond to complete the days work, and kept in touch throughout the day.

The work was a great standard, and the owner was extremely apologetic and friendly on the phone and in person.

Will definitely use again! :-)”
