What our customers are saying
I took my car in for what I thought would be a straightforward MOT but it had some serious work needed that I was unaware of. The team were fantastic, very clear about what was necessary for safety and what was advisory, as well as what they would recommend to get the most out of the money needed. They sourced parts very quickly and were able to fit me in for repairs the same day, even though they were incredibly busy and it was 4+ hours work. Every member of staff I dealt with was friendly and helpful, even at 9am, in the pouring rain. I would definitely recommend the guys here and will definitely be using them again for any other issues myself!

I had an outstanding experience with Tom at G&G Autos, and I’m thrilled to write this 5-star review. Tom’s professionalism and attention to detail were truly exceptional. From the moment I brought my BMW in for service and modifications, I knew I was in good hands. Tom’s expertise and experience shone through in every aspect of his work. He took the time to understand my needs and provided valuable advice that helped enhance the performance of my car. His knowledge of quality products and his commitment to using them ensured that my BMW received top-notch treatment. What truly impressed me was Tom’s meticulous approach. He paid close attention to every detail, ensuring that each modification was executed flawlessly. The results were beyond my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Communication with Tom was a breeze. He was always prompt in responding to my inquiries and was clear in explaining the work that needed to be done. I greatly appreciated his transparency and his ability to keep me informed throughout the process. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Tom at G&G Autos. His professionalism, detailed workmanship, attention to detail, valuable advice, use of quality products, and vast experience make him an outstanding professional in his field. I am grateful for the service and modifications he has provided for my BMW, and I will undoubtedly return for any future automotive needs.

I discovered this wonderful team a few months back when I had a rear spring fail. They were very accommodating and offered to work late to get it done for me, where as other nearby garages said they couldn't help for many days. Been back for a full service today, very honest, knowledgeable, good value, and they know what they are doing! Didn't catch the lads name who worked on the car, but he took a few minutes out of his day to talk through the service. Since moving to Southend I've not really found a good 'home' garage... Until now !! Thank you. As an engineer myself, I recommend :)

Took my car in for an oil change and to have the back brakes checked. Had a special request of needing to have the car back by 2.15 so I could still do the school run. Lady on the phone was brilliant!! She got me booked in really quickly and was able to make sure it would be done by 2.15. Car went in at 9am. The lady called me to confirm I needed new back brake pads and the cost before proceeding. To my suprise I got another call back a hour and a half later to say the car was done at 11.30. Long before the 2.15 I had requested. The price was really reasonable and everyone was so friendly. I would highly recommend this garage.

I took my car to Sun Motors for the first time as it was having acceleration issues. The guys took the time to investigate the issue without charging me anything, and were really honest when providing feedback about what they suspected the issue was. They explained everything clearly and it was obvious they weren’t out to rinse my money, which is something I really appreciated especially as I don’t understand much about cars. They were also really friendly and not condescending in any way which is also something I appreciated. Will definitely be using this garage in the future!
