The Pit Stop Colchester customer reviews
"I've had new tyres fitted at this garage a couple of times and on both occasions I've been very happy with their quick service at convenient fitting times. There's no hard sell on extras like Kwikfit and there's a great car-themed waiting area. I'll be happy taking my car there again in future."
"I needed an MOT quickly. Booked in to Pit Stop via the AA and got it done within 2 days. Car taken in on time, 40 mins later all done. No advisory or fail points. No additional work offered - excellent and trusted garage"
"A good efficient service from the team."
"Good efficient service and friendly helpful staff"
"I have just had a major service carried out and booked through Fixter today. The gentleman has collected and delivered my vehicle in the time frames provided and was very professional and courteous. The work has clearly been carried out to a high standard and i had great updates along the way to inform me of when the vehicle will be ready. The only downside is they as with mist garages don’t seem to stamp the service book, which makes it difficult as i have to print off and store online receipts for future sale of the car. Overall very pleasant experience and i look forward to using them again and recommending them to family and friends in the future."
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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"
