The Pit Stop Colchester customer reviews
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant Emergency Help – Thank You! On 10/11/2025 my daughter’s car suddenly flashed a warning and the steering went stiff near Frating roundabout. She pulled into a petrol station opposite Pit Stop. I called the garage and within 5 minutes a mechanic went out to help her. They found the auxiliary belt had snapped and damaged the alternator, ordered parts straight away, and by the next afternoon the car was fully repaired. Fantastic customer service, friendly staff, quick updates, great timing and very reasonable pricing. Thank you for looking after our daughter in a stressful moment. Highly recommended! — Roy Wing"

"Just had four new tyres fitted to my mx5, excellent fast service, tyres look good and really friendly staff. Would definitely recommend."
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Service at Pit Stop First Stop! Just had my front wheels aligned at Pit Stop First Stop, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From the moment I arrived, the team were welcoming and professional. It’s so refreshing to find a garage you can truly trust. Friendly staff, fair pricing, and great service—what more could you ask for? I’ll definitely be returning for any future work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the area. Thanks again to everyone at Pit Stop First Stop!"
"Very professional and friendly staff. Went above and beyond yesterday for myself and felt like they were honest and fair with their prices and got the mot and replacement shocks done very quickly. Will definitely use this garage again"
"Stupidly let my car go for a service with another company (long and expensive story). Someone recommended Pitstop as I needed a new wet belt fitting. I can't fault these guys, they went over and above to assist me and get the job done yesterday. I'm really happy with the service they provided and have booked my MOT for June. I would 100% recommend. I'm cooking on gas again! Thank you so much guys! ❤️😁"
