I have been using Croydon Automotive for over 15 years for my MOT, servicing and repairs. Bernard and his team are always friendly, honest and professional. Bernard provides me with the most cost effective way to repair my old 1999 Ford Mondeo, and always does a great job. I recommended him to fix your car!

DO NOT RECOMMEND! They had a simple task of replacing the front control arms of my Mercedes, and whilst doing this they have bent the steering rack. They acted oblivious to the damage, despite it being blatantly obvious if you test drive the vehicle for 10 seconds.

Bent steering rack = DANGEROUS!

They refuse to accept fault, and are simply clueless. It's pointless trying to explain as they believe it's acceptable to work on a vehicle, damage other components and not accept fault, blame everything under the sun, and only just focusing on the fact they did the original job. So a £200 job has resulted in a new £2,000.00+ repair AND dirty oily finger prints all over the vehicle body.

If you don't mind risking huge damage to your vehicle, give them a try.

Completely poor service and unprofessional. I would not recommend these guys.

I have been using CAC for three or four years now and have always had good, professional and courteous service. Whether it's a planned service or an unexpected problem CAC has always come up trumps and the pricing is fair and honest. Highly recommended!

I have been using Croydon Automotive for several years for MOTing my various BMWs and since Bernard took over the garage I also use it for repairs - after I got ripped off by BMW in Purley when they charged me circa. £400 to fix something and when I collected the car it still had the same problem (Bowden cable) - and when I took it back to them they then charged me a further £300! Bernard (who owns the garage) is completely trustworthy - he recently changed the coil pack and plugs on my BMW and charged me £245 - he always explains what he thinks the problem might be and gives you a rough idea of what it may cost. Excellent service. Jan, Thornton Heath
