"Lee is amazing. It’s nice to know there are mechanics out there who DONT try and rip you off and make out things are wrong with your car. This is the second time I’ve used Lee and he’s so friendly helpful and goes through everything with you and gives you a couple of different options. I Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him and using him again. Thank you, Lee"

Nitish TheBest - July 16, 2026

"First class service by a first class team. They are super professional and courteous to people and above all very efficient. Failed my MOT and was told the repair work will take a month and suggested an exorbitant price. Went to Lee and it only took him 2 days to sort out the issues and he charged me fairly. Car eventually passed reMOT. Take the extra mile and effort to go to these guys rather than wasting time with time wasters around - you won’t regret it Tulsi"

Brigitta Béni - May 30, 2026

"I had a minor repair done at LDR Auto Car Care, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The team is professional, personable, and friendly. As someone who doesn’t know much about cars, I often feel intimidated when dealing with garages and mechanics, but at LDR Auto Car Care I received the friendliest service and never felt looked down on or lectured. I’m so happy to have found a family business like this. I would definitely recommend their services and will certainly be a returning customer."
