DO NOT USE
DO NOT USE - IF I COULD OF SCORED ZERO I WOULD OF!
No communication, no ability to fix anything. Couldnt even fix a head light bulb! Kept my car all morning only to tell me they cant do the work! Utter, Utter garbage.
A1 it's in the name topclass
I have used this company for MOT as Fords hadn't done it. They found my car to be dangerous to drive as Wish Bone and Brakes all needed replacing. They have now completed all works at a great price. I will be cancelling my Ford plan and giving all my business to A1 from now on. Complete peace of mind and doesn't bankrupt you either. Great staff and service Thank you

Such a great friendly run garage all of the workers are fantastic, quick and efficient service had an issue with a recall for my car Big Ben helped find the fault which was part of my recall and gave me everything I needed to challenge the dealers which was then sorted within 24hours without that I would have been hit with a very heavy bill to fix. Wouldn't take my car to anyone else !!!

I recently bought a car and A1 are the only garage that I trust to give me an honest opinion on what is wrong. Since I have moved to Dagenham almost four years ago and started using A1 I would not go anywhere else.
great and trustworthy mechanics
I’ve been taking my current car (and previous car) to Dave and his team for around 6 years now for MOTs and services as well as breakdown issues etc. Great customer service and I feel very comfortable knowing that they will be honest with any advice, cost and work that needs doing. With garages/mechanic trust is a very important factor and and I’ve never doubted these guys from the first time taking my car to them. I’ve recently moved out the area and still always come back to A1 as they have always been very clear with any work that needs doing and have always managed to fix my car without any issues or delays.
Would definitely recommend
5 star service
5 star service ! Been coming here for several years now for MOTs and additional work - the guys are friendly and advising what needs to be done with the minimum amount of expense - They will always advise on cheaper options if possible and trust these guys 100% on their advice and expertise - I also like the idea of just turning up for a MOT without booking which in the past has been tested straight away
