I want to thank Richardson's for a superb repair on my car. The damage was an insurance claim and Richardsons was one of the Insurance Company's approved repairers. Paul was especially very helpful and kept me updated on the repair. The car was returned to me and it looked like new. Would highly recommend this garage for its service and workmanship. Thank you

Brilliant work! I needed an oil change service and decided to check if they could book me in. The reception staff scheduled me in promptly, even with the shortest available appointment. Despite bringing incorrect parts, they swiftly obtained the right ones, completed the work, and I didn't have to worry at all. I appreciate when a company provides efficient service like this. I look forward to bringing my car here for the MOT when the time comes!

Since I discovered Mark, I won't go anywhere else. Twice I've taken my car for an MOT at a big chain and been quoted a disgraceful amount for repairs needed to pass. I found this place by chance and I'm grateful I did. All the repairs I've had done here were far less expensive and he got the parts in quicker than the big chains could do. From now on I'm going to go straight to him for any issues I have and save myself the hassle. He is a genuinely trustworthy mechanic.

I recently had an ongoing fault issue with my VW Golf. No one could seem to fix it, I’d visited 2 other garages. I stumbled across Shaikly’s and after reading their reviews thought I’d give them a go! They assessed and identified the fault, then carried out the necessary repairs. The staff were so friendly and kept me updated throughout. These guys really know what they’re doing! Thank you & I will be using you again. If you’re looking for a trustworthy garage in Colchester, look no further!

Super helpful as always, hard to find a good garage now days, but always willing to help and get me seen nice and quick and give solid answers to any questions I have. Evans motors has become my go to garage now, and not one of these garages that constantly try to mug you off, they genuinely have their customers interests at heart! Everyone there is super friendly and their communication when ny car is with them is excellent! I've recommended to all my friends and family.

Excellent garage. I needed a possible clutch problem diagnosed and fixed. They looked at the car quickly and carried out some testing to discover the true issue. Despite the fact that I had said I was happy to change the clutch, they told me that this was unnecessary, and other minor issues were identified and resolved. Great service carried out for a very fair price, and a quick turn around. Highly recommended, will be my chosen garage from now onwards. Thanks to Peter and Mark

I had a suspension issue with my series 5 BMW tourer that Cooper BMW could not diagnose or offer any solution to. The mechanic here diagnosed and repaired my problem quickly and probably at a 3rd of the main dealer price had they even found the problem.

Commonly asked questions about Fixter and garages in Colchester

How do I find a garage near me?

We've vetted and checked the independent garages in Colchester to make sure it's easy to find a garage or mechanic near you. You can find and compare these garages on your local garage directory page or let Fixter find a garage for you.

Who are Fixter?

Our mission is to take the hassle out of looking after your car, by providing a complete, affordable, end-to-end service with a world-class customer experience. We help you find a quality garage in Colchester by vetting them beforehand, making sure the service you get is always excellent.

We vet every garage that is part of our network, making sure that we only work with the best from Colchester so you always get the best service possible. We also have access to live market rates in Colchester, so the prices we show you are always real and fair - as well as this our in-house mechanics double check everything, making sure you're always getting a good deal and quality work.

How does Fixter select their garages in Colchester?

We carry out an online audit of every garage that we consider adding to our network, making sure they have a minimum customer rating of 4/5 stars.

How does Fixter make money?

We negotiate business rates with every garage we work with in Colchester (including parts, labour, oil, and MOT test rates), because we send lots of bookings their way.
