Amazing customer service....done car bulb sorted there and then and spray fuse also changed sorted. January 16, 2023
I have used Carter Automotive services for a long time with my personal vehicles, I now also use them for my company vehicles as I know Steve will always do a very good job and he looks after his regular customers, a local company that still cares which is very rare nowadays. Thanks Steve October 19, 2022
I have used this garage for years and Steve and his team have always done a first class job. They have always without exception been hospitable whilst waiting with tea or coffee provided. They have helped out on a few emergency occasions where in previous experience with other garages they wouldn't have cared . Their pricing policy is always as promised and if other things have been needed they have advised first. Thanks to all of you. Very highly recommended July 29, 2022
these guys are brilliant, fantastic service and MOT, my first time visit, but recommended by friends. My second visit, indicator, brake light not working, a bad earth, fixed within a half hour. I asked about tyres at the time, they came back with a very competitive price, so i ordered 3, all on now and i'm very happy. I won't use anywhere else now, glad i found them....very honest peeps May 25, 2021
I have used this garage a good few times and have allways had excellent service and very friendly helpful staff, willing to help with any problems. I have gone to them at short notice with a fault or problem to which they have never sent me away but managed to get me going again. The work I have had done has always be done at a excellent standed ,done quickly and at what I consider a fair price. I feel very lucky to have found this garage,if your looking for a honest reliable good priced garage Try Carter’s I don’t think you’ll be disappointed December 18, 2020
Brilliant garage that I’ve used for many years and a variety of vehicles. Totally honest and professional and excellent on pricing. You genuinely wouldn’t find a better team anyway and Steve has that rare quality that he will always go the extra mile for his customer, wether that’s sourcing best value parts quickly, undertaking complex repairs effectively or somehow managing to fit you in at short notice. These guys are the best! December 10, 2020
Steve Carter and his team provide the most excellent service and great value fir money. My car is serviced and maintained by this company and I would recommend them with confidence. April 22, 2020
Good customer service, knowledgeable and skilled staff, a decent price for work done. September 19, 2019
Used Steve for years and never had a problem! Always excellent work. Wouldn't go anywhere else. September 12, 2019
Steve had shown me that a garage can be straightforward. I had a non starter issue with my VW Passat which a nationally 'known brand' garage and also 'an international class' recovery team failed to pinpoint the root cause. The garage was referring me to an auto electrician whilst the auto electrician was saying that the garage should be responsible and the blame-shifting game continued for days and my car was left in limbo. Another garage referred me to Carter as the answer to my car problem. Behold, Steve got the car sorted and at an unbelievably affordable cost. I had to ask Steve if he was sure. There was NO hidden charges whatsoever, Steve even replaced a cheap fuel filter used by the so called "renowned garage". I cannot recommend Carter Automotive highly enough to anyone that is in need of trustworthy garage or has trust issues with garages. March 17, 2019

Carter Automotive Services have always been honest, fair and trustworthy every time I have used them. I will continue to use them as my regular garage , and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Excellent and value for money as always!! August 16, 2018
It can be difficult as a female to find trustworthy garage and that is not patronising to a female car owner, I totally trust Steve when it comes to my car. Steve is always happy to take his time explaining what is required and why, with reasonable prices. August 16, 2018

Excellent service, great staff team and good company (Diesel) July 27, 2016
This is easily the best garage I've ever used and they are 100% trustworthy (This is the only garage I've every thought that of). Steve and the team always go way above and beyond what I would expect of them and the prices always seem incredibly reasonable. I was actually on my way out of the door today and just asked where they would go to get a number plate - 10mins of fussing Deisel later and they'd ordered, collected and brought it back to me.Top notch customer service. Thank you so so much! L :) July 14, 2016
Steve and his team always do an excellent job at very competitive prices. I have had MOT's services and repairs done for several years and would never consider using any other garage.

Very Honest, helpful and friendly garage, head and shoulders above the rest, you can be sure that if you use this garage you will be looked after with the best service and quality work at the honest prices. June 07, 2016
I was recommended this garage from my Boss as I now work in Peterborough, I had always used the same garage for over 5 years, so was apprehensive of changing especially being a girl and not knowing about cars. I do not regret this decision, the owners were so welcoming, friendly and kept me communicated throughout the MOT. They were so reasonable on price, I was absolutely shocked as I always thought car repairs were expensive....not this time! They even offered me a lift back to work whilst my car was being done. I will now use this garage for anything to do with my car and recommend to everyone at work. June 02, 2016
I can't recommend Carter's enough, Integrity, honesty, Excellent Mechanics, Friendly and the loveliest dog to welcome you. I know nothing about cars but I am never ripped off, just the opposite, Steve tries to find the cheapest option for you. My partner knows a lot about cars and says that you can't beat their prices and workmanship anywhere. I have recommended this garage to my friends and they have all said the same. Very rare to find a gem of a garage like this!!!!! June 02, 2016
I am glad I was told about this garage because they are a genuine local and friendly business. Since the car was repaired, faults other garages did not fix, have been solved! I will be back soon with my other car and I have already passed on contact numbers to others. 5* garage. May 30, 2016
