I have been a customer of Woodside…

I have been a customer of Woodside garage for a few years now.
Rob, Luke and the team go above and beyond for their customers. How do I know this?

I know this as the other day, My car had a mechanical fault. It was stuck at the traffic lights, at the Queens bridge in New Mills. (How embarrassing for both myself and my passenger)
I couldn't move forward nor backwards and I was blocking the right hand lane, as the electric handbrake had stuck on.

I phoned Woodside garage up and explained the dilemma to Rob. Within 15 minutes-The longest time of my life! Luke came racing up to save the day. We Limped the car back to the garage and the team even stayed late to correct the faults on the car, so that it was ready to collect the next day.

You can rest assured that this garage really does look after their customers.

Reversal of my review

I’ve written a review about this garage. It was negative in nature.

Woodside has made everything right and have made tremendous efforts to improve their service. They are committed to honest customer service and I can recommend them.

Dishonest Garage

After booking my MOT through Servicing Stop, I was contacted by the garage owner, who claimed to have found faults with the headlight and tyre monitoring system. He then attempted to upsell additional “investigation work” for faults that did not exist. To add insult to injury, he tried to build rapport by stating he was a Sikh/Singh and was “doing me a favour.” This was an offensive and manipulative attempt to leverage religious identity for financial gain — completely unacceptable and unethical.

I refused the additional charges and took my car to a completely independent MOT test the very next morning, where it passed with zero issues, zero advisories, and none of the alleged faults. This confirms beyond any doubt that the garage you assigned attempted to fabricate problems to extort money from me.

This is a serious breach of trust and an alarming reflection on the type of businesses you are partnering with. They are clearly scamming innocent customers with fabricated failures and inflated quotes, which could financially and emotionally impact less experienced or vulnerable individuals

I’m so glad I found this place. As a woman, it can be challenging visiting garages — too often, they try to find unnecessary ‘faults’ with the car. But at Woodside Motors, I’ve always been treated with honesty and respect. I’ve been getting my car serviced and MOT’d here for years. They collect and drop off the car, and I always receive a fair, honest outcome. I highly recommend them to friends and family — truly trustworthy!

Absolutely impressed with the entire experience! From start to finish, the service was smooth, professional, and incredibly convenient. They picked up my car from home, kept me updated throughout, and delivered it back in perfect condition — all at a great price! It’s rare to find such a combination of quality work, excellent communication, and customer care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for hassle-free car servicing.

Mr Bingham

The person who owns and sells the cars is very polite and respectful. We recently bought a Nissan juke 1.5dci. He put a brand new mot and it. He fixed all the problems the mot put up plus all advisories on. Great service

If I could I would give no stars IF I could

If I could I would give no stars. Was referred to this company with little choice. I had no issues at all with my Ford KA so when I got a bill for over £1000 I was shocked. I was more shocked when My car straight from the garage made noises it had never made before. Back it went and more and more problems exhaust etc. This was all absolute rubbish ! the photos them sent me I am certain were not from my car as I had looked under the car just a few days prior. I asked for the car to be returned at 5pm and I am still waiting at work. NEVER USE THIS GARAGE

I took my car in for a service and MOT

I took my car in for a service and MOT, where it failed on the rear suspension bushes and handbrake efficiency. While i was expecting some costs, was shocked by the quote of over £1,000 for repairs. The major cost was the replacement of rear brake calipers, which were reportedly seized, and priced at £330 each. This was puzzling since you had recently had new rear discs and pads fitted by the same garage (Woodside) just a month earlier. In addition, the suspension bushes were quoted at around £350.

After receiving this high estimate, i decided to take it elsewhere for an MOT test, The experience left me questioning the diagnosis, especially regarding the brake calipers seizing so soon after recent work.
I found the quote excessive and perhaps felt that the garage was not being transparent or realistic in their assessment.
and it passed with no advisories...now im questioning whether it was actually serviced or i just payed £240 for them to stamp my service book.
