Excellent service as always

Excellent service as always. After a few years using garages that I had absolutely no trust in, I can’t say it is the complete opposite with Farmers at Neilston Rd. 10/10 as usual. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Very disappointing experience.

Very disappointing experience.
My car failed its MOT emissions test and after a Cataclean treatment and retest, I was advised that the catalytic converter had likely reached the end of its life and would need replacing at a quoted cost of around £900–£1200.
I was told the emissions had only improved slightly and that replacement of the catalytic converter was the next step. Considering the age and mileage of the car, I decided to seek further advice before agreeing to such an expensive repair.
After taking advice elsewhere, I was advised to continue driving the car properly on motorway runs to allow the Cataclean treatment and emissions system to work effectively, especially given my usual short-trip driving pattern. After doing this over the weekend, I independently had the emissions tested again at another MOT centre and the emissions passed comfortably.
I then returned for the MOT retest, which the car passed successfully. I was also charged £25 for the retest.
I appreciate that diagnostics can sometimes be difficult, but I am disappointed that such an expensive repair was recommended so quickly without exploring or advising further practical steps first. The experience caused unnecessary stress and concern.

Best garages in Edinburgh

Farmers consistently provide a great service at a reasonable price with excellent customer service. I have had great experiences at several of their autocare centres and would highly recommend them. (Including on one occasion when there was a problem with my vehicle after I collected it and they immediately fixed it and handled the issue very considerately and professionally.)

Turned up without an appointment as had a loose heat shield above my exhaust. Very friendly gentleman at reception said to take a seat and they would look at it directly. Fifteen minutes later I had the key handed back to me and no charge.

Trustworthy

The branch in Blackhall, Edinburgh is great. My car's brakes were shot, so the quote was fairly eye-watering, but when I came to collect it they'd decided the brake pipes were good for another couple of years so the price actually went down. I always go there for MoTs too, excellent service, very efficient despite being very busy.

Great service

Went to Farmers in Glenrothes as i had a screw in my tire. This happened while i was woking in the community, still had some home visits to do that day. The lads in there had a look and fixed me up with a new tire straight away to get me back to work quickly. Great service and competitive price, thanks guys!
