Carl Wigg took my car in at very short notice and carried out the work of replacing the front brake discs and pads. Also spotted one lock nut was missing which they replaced. Completed work very quickly - excellent service.

What a great family run business this has proven to be! As somebody who knows cars, I have never completely trusted garages, so I do not say that lightly.
They replaced my gearbox and clutch and it drives beautifully once again. A superb job and came in under the estimate too!
Would not hesitate to return in the future and I would highly recommend to anyone.

After having some advisories on my MOT, I took my VW Polo to Carl Wigg to have an inspection. April, Carl and the team explained the work that needed doing, the price and what parts may need replacing in the future. I liked their honesty and communication and booked my car in to have the advised work completed. ABS sensor and new coil. Work was completed with efficiency and openness. Will be using Carl Wigg for all future work. Many thanks to the team.

Extensive repairs carried out on a 'new to me', second hand vehicle purchased from a dealer after my car was involved in a hit and run incident whilst parked up overnight which resulted in it being deemed not economically viable to repair.
For peace of mind, I took my newly purchased car to be checked over by my local mechanic who advised the car was not roadworthy, the main issues being brakes that were so badly worn all round, it would not pass an MOT and a significant oil leak.
Upon approaching the dealer I bought the car from about this I was informed I would have to submit a full diagnostic report (something confirmed by the Citizen's Advice Bureau in relation to the Consumer Rights Act 2015, as I had initially requested a full refund).
Having not been in this situation before, I googled for local diagnostic garages and came across Carl Wigg Autoservices and spoke with April Wigg.
April was extremely concerned when I relayed my story, and she discovered the car had had advisories for the brakes for the previous two MOTs! I was genuinely outraged that the other, large company could be selling vehicles that are not roadworthy. Furthermore, this was not the first time she had encountered this situation involving the other dealer and so she offered to take this upon herself to try to sort for me as she had a contact whom she could approach.
I was so appreciative, it was such a relief to have someone who I could discuss these issues with, and who listened. Furthermore, April acknowledged the injustice that I was experiencing and genuinely wanted to help.
April liaised with the other dealer and organised for them to undertake the extensive repairs, without me having to get involved which was a massive relief for me. Despite being fully booked up, the whole team at Carl Wigg Autoservices ensured my repairs were swiftly dealt with to ease further inconvenience.
Carl Wigg Auto Services deserve 6/5 in all aspects of your rating system. Completely professional, approachable, considerate and extremely trustworthy. I shall be recommending them to everyone and will be using them from now on. The service provided has exceeded my expectations and I am proud to submit this statement to validate their accreditation to your Trusted Trader scheme.

Had a few issues with my car and Carl Wiggs were perfect! Kept me updated and ensured all work that was needed was carried out quickly and correctly. Due to the cost, they even went out of their way to source aftermarket parts. Very happy! Will use again.

CarlWigg Autoservices has gone above and beyond hehlping me with my car i bought faulty from a dealership, From initial contact they have offered great advice on dealing with not only the fault with the car, but the dealer i bought the car from.
My fight with the original dealer continues now even 6 months after the purchase, my last visit to CarlWigg i booked in for diagnostics for further evidence to my claim of the same fault reocurring, not only did they not accept any payment for this they also wrote me a report stating the fault is the same as they saw 4 months ago to help strenghten my case.
I have always had trust issues with garages and mechanics, i have been lied to in the past, overcharged, and dealt with generally uninterested so called proffesionals. CarlWigg is everything a local business should be, and will have my custom for years to come.

Turbo charger, oil pipe feed, oil filter, air filter, air box assembly, boost pipe, engine oil, all done in July 2024 on husband's van.
Have also taken my car there for yearly service.
April is extremely helpful and knowledgeable and Carl and the team have always done a good job over the years and we have never had any problems. My son in-law recommended Carl Wigg Auto Services to us about 4 years ago and we have been going there ever since.

Been going to this garage for years.
They do everything for my vehicles which includes tyres, mechanical work to cosmetic bits. These guys do everything !!
They’ve always been competitive in their prices. April who manages the office is fantastic and will always makes sure I get the best value for money.
Carl and Leon have all the latest diagnostics equipment. They are super knowledgeable and experienced . I would not take my motorhome or car anywhere else.
Working for the local authority, I have to drive for my role and they make sure my car is done promptly to reduce any disruptions.
Even once when I broke down in Scotland in the motorhome, they were happy to help from afar!
They go above and beyond for their clients , I actually found these guys as they once helped my elderly grandmother who was stranded in town as her corsa wouldn’t start they recovered the car, they fixed it and took her back home with her shopping, since then I have found a wonderful garage!

They replaced the drive shafts and put a new tyre (plus wheel alignment) on my Volvo V40. They worked hard to source the parts promptly and updated me regularly on progress. With the wheel alignment, I received a diagnostic report before and after the work was done. My car now drives like a dream. They were very friendly, helpful and worked quickly to get my car back on the road.
