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!

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
