“On the way back from Dorset yesterday and stepped back in time to this garage. Attended service at the pumps by a lovely young lady, shown where the toilets were and the best customer service at a garage I have experienced for a long time. Thank You, Kittwhistle Garage.”

“My husband and I were travelling from West Sussex to Seaton when our car broke down. we tried to limp our car hoping to find a safe space to stop. Amazingly After only a couple of minutes we came across this absolutely Amazing garage, Will the owner very kindly did a diagnostics on our car and one of our fuel injectors had failed!. Will was so Kind looking after us giving us coffee and biscuits while we waited for the AA truck to arrive, unfortunately the fuel injector had seized and the AA guy was having terrible trouble removing it but Will again was a superstar and with his tools from his garage he helped The AA man release this so he could replace the part for us. I would like to say a massive Thank to Will who definitely went above and beyond to help us – 3 1/2 hours later we where able to continue our journey to Seaton with our car fully repaired. Would totally recommend this garage and if you are lucky enough to live close by definitely choose will and his garage. “

“Can’t recommend this garage enough! After having a phone around trying to get my car looked at last minute, Kittwhistle Garage fitted me in and resolved my problem there and then, which saved the day for me.

“Will helped me when a garage said my brakes had failed an MOT. As I do all my work myself, I took it here. He did a free brake check and it came back a pass, when the garage I was using for the MOT said it had failed. Will said it was 100% a pass. Anyway, I know where to come for an MOT next time.”

“I’m not usually one to write Google reviews, but for this absolutely amazing garage, I had to. Front of house staff are friendly and more than happy to help. The team of mechanics are top tier; special shoutout to Will who is an absolute wizard of a mechanic, best I’ve ever encountered. Even if you live a little out the way, it’s 100% worth the commute to this garage. Honest, reliable and professional. I can assure you, you will be more than satisfied with any work needed to your vehicle. Thank you to everyone at Kittwhistle Garage.”

“Will Gillingham and his team have maintained my car and my wife’s daughter’s car since taking over the garage from Rowland Hibbard, with enthusiasm and skill. I have turned up at the garage with a new snag on several occasions when he has solved the problem or arranged to fix it as convenient. His service is second to none!”

“Will helped me locate an electrical fault on my Picanto after I had changed the battery. Very helpful chap and wouldn’t take any money either. I also want to publicly thank him for recommending Mikey at Mototech to fix the air conditioning on my partner’s Picanto, which he did. I will definitely be using them from now on.”

“We were visiting the area when my car unexpectedly broke down. Facing 5 to 6 hours waiting time for the RAC, we Googled the closest garage. Will and the garage staff were very helpful and agreed to help us out despite no prior booking. They gave us a courtesy car and fixed it within a day. We were amazed by the sheer care and professionalism. Best service I came across in years!”
