Very efficient and helpful, car already in for another repair and booked in for a service. April 03, 2024
Having used Graham Goode’s to maintain our cars for a number of years we cannot fault the service the team provide. We recently experienced an intermittent fault on one of our cars that proved very difficult to identify. However, they persevered, found and rectified the fault.Thanks to all involved, a very satisfied customer. August 03, 2023
We cannot praise Graham Goode Motors highly enough. They repaired severe damage to our car's engine, which occurred after we hit a nitrous oxide heavy duty cylinder (laughing gas) whilst travelling home. Our breakdown service transported the car to Goodes and it was assessed whether it could be repaired. Goodes did not shy away from taking on the task and our car has been returned better than before! Thank you to all of the staff involved in our case. March 26, 2023
Excellent service! I felt welcome and in safe hands. The reception is clean and well laid out. the staff have a lovely friendly attitude, that leaves you believing they are experts in their job. I would recommend Graham Goode to anyone. September 20, 2021
My first time here and I have to say I felt so welcomed and was happy to leave my car in trusted hands. Very friendly and helpful July 22, 2021

The team did an excellent job ,very polite and helpful I cannot praise them enough and they valeted my car ,I would highly recommend them for service and repairs ,excellent service all round ,1000% well done everyone July 02, 2021
Amazing garage and very trusted. I have used them for the last 7 years regarding repairs, mot and service. Everyone is very friendly, everything is explained clearly. My daughter also uses this garage for the same. As females it is very important for us to feel like we can trust a garage. Seriously cannot rate this garage enough. May 25, 2021
Excellent service very polite and professional answered any questions that i asked . Would definitely recommend Graham Goode and i shall be using them again . May 14, 2021
Very professional setup. Good customer service both on the phone and at the garage. Very friendly and supportive staff, always ready to help. Thank you for all the support you've given me. February 09, 2021
The brakes on my car were not feeling top notch. Graham Goode Motors checked the vehicle and advised me exactly what needed doing. The service they provide is friendly and professional. They only did work on the rear brakes advising me the front brake condition is good. They gave me professional, quick service at a fair price February 05, 2021
Graham Goode Motors offers a professional and personal service. They have always given us honest upfront advice. They are very efficient and the staff are always friendly. On many occasions we have turned up on their doorstep with problems with our cars and there has never been any hesitancy to turn us away. They advise us what is wrong, what the cost is for repair and the time it will take to repair. They’re service charges are reasonable and we have complete trust in their workmanship. Absolute champions! Thank you all. February 04, 2021
We had 2 cars from my household done at this garage, the first car that went to Graham Goode Motor was my dad's fiat Panda, and we were delighted with the service they had given us. Everyone was super friendly and communicated very well with me. That was why we returned with the second car to get it MOT and serviced, and again, excellent service. If I ever need my car fixed or repaired I will definitely not hesitate and go to Graham Goode again. September 08, 2020
I have used Graham Goode motors 3 times in the last 2 years for servicing & carrying out modifications to my car.I have always been impressed by the service I receive & the quality of the work carried out. I will continue to use them in the future despite having to travel 50 miles to do so.Highly recommended. June 07, 2020
After an unexpected break down my car was recovered to Graham goode as a local garage that was recommended by friends. As it was late at night the recovery vehicle had to leave the car on the forecourt until I could call them to explain the following day. They were very gracious as they didn't have the right staff on a Saturday so advised who to speak to on the Monday and put the car in their secure compound for me. On Monday they prioritised assessing the car so they could get me a quote early in the day. Breaking it down comprehensively to show the price difference between branded and unbranded parts. The work was finished by mid afternoon as they knew I would Other side need to hire a car for work. Very grateful and pleased with the service, likely to use them again! January 11, 2020
September 24, 2019
Brilliant service I would definitely return September 24, 2019
September 23, 2019

August 24, 2019
Fantastic service from Graham Goode! Supplied and fitted a new scorpion exhaust for me and a front splitter. Great communication with Glenn and Alistair from start to finish! Friendly, helpful team. This is the first time I had used Graham Goode, I will certainly be using them going forward for all my vehicle needs! May 08, 2019
Staff were very accommodating and friendly throughout the whole process, especially as it was a very last minute issue and I was reassured that the car would be tended to in the time I required. I left feeling very confident I would return in the future. April 03, 2019
Great service and work carried out expeditiously. Will definitely use again. Thank you February 04, 2019
I was so kindly squeezed in for repairs there and then when I was desperate. I can't thank them enough, friendly, professional and affordable. I'll definetly 100% use them again October 10, 2018
Excellent service start to finish. Have used them previously and they are my got to garage. Polite friendly and very informative. Highly recommend. August 22, 2018
Excellent staff.Friendly and they explained everything that was happening to my car. July 24, 2018
Very efficient garage and staff. Locally based member of staff offers to collect and return my vehicle from home. Invoice is settled over the phone when work is completed and sometimes left until the next day. Nice people to deal with and thoroughly recommended.. July 09, 2018
The garage was recommended to me after I had taken my car to a well known company and the issue wasn’t able to be fixed. As I’m new to owning a car and worried about people taking advantage of this to over charge me, but Graham Goode’s moters haven’t done this at all. I was left happy knowing what was really wrong and charged at a very decent rate for the work carried out. The friendly atmosphere puts you at ease and I found it great that I was told the issue and even shown what they meant. So I left with a fixed car and some new knowledge of how my car works. June 22, 2018
On a journey on route to London via Leicester my car played up. Popped in to Goodes at 5:20 pm to ask the chaps what they thought. " Bring It in tomorrow morning and we will have a look," was the instant answer. By 9:30 the nxt morning my car was diagnosed and a new battery installed to replace the old 13 year one. I was a very happy customer. Where else can you get service like this? Huge thank you Graham and Alister . Will always use this garage and recommend to everyone. They are just the best.. June 15, 2018
Excellent from start to finish. Where three other garages failed with an air con re gas May 23, 2018
Always excellent customer care and the staff are very reassuring before you even meet your mechanic and they are very easy to deal with and approachable. I always feel that I have been treated with respect and that the work completed is to the highest standard - both are important factors to me. March 15, 2018
This garage saved me from a stressful day being stranded for hours welcomed me in sat me down with a warm cuppa and fixed my car in no time at an reasonable price , everyone was so helpful and friendly I’m never going anywhere else . Thank you so much . February 08, 2018
Really would recommend Graham Goode Motors to anyone. I was recommended this garage and I have been using them for nearly 4 years now. Friendly, reliable, reasonable and accommodating. Very impressed. January 10, 2018
I have always visited Graham Goode motors since becomming a car driver 4 years ago and I have received nothing but amazing service. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and make me feel at ease and also understand any work that needs to be undertaken. They are transparent, honest and incredibly fair in their pricing. I don't think I would trust my car with any other garage! November 19, 2017
I have been using GG for a number of years with various cars (including performance ones), for all servicing, MOT and various repairs. I have always been met with a friendly and professional welcome. I have also requested advice on my cars on a number of occasions and always received prompt, knowledgeable and friendly replies. All repairs, servicing and performance enhancements have been completed on time and to the highest standard. I can not praise this garage enough, the key word here is 'trust' and I do! I would recommend anyone to contact them for all your cars needs you will be pleased you did. November 12, 2017
I had the timing belt and water pump work done for my car. The staff was very helpful. Every detail of work was explained including the quote before the work. I have used this garage couple of times, I must say I have been happy with the service. Very trustworthy service. The workshop manager has always been patient to answer all the queries. November 11, 2017
25/01/2017 Having drove from Lincoln and my screen washers not working. Got to my daughters and phoned several garages to get them fixed before going back, I found it a nightmare that no garage would help me out without taking my car in for several hours( of which I had not got time). I drove round and came across Graham Goode Motors , I couldn't believe the service I got , my car was taken in straight the way and dealt with immediately. Was given a nice warm welcome by the receptionist, was offered a nice hot drink, I was informed the progress of my car and it was fixed within half an hour and I was back on the road. So thank you Graham Goode staff, each and everyone of you, especially the receptionist who was so lovely and a credit to your team April 28, 2017
Very pleased with the excellent service i received on my car . January 24, 2017
We travel out of our area to use Graham Goode Motors as we are delighted with the service we have received for both servicing and repairs. We have been dealing with Alan recently as we had a knocking noise under the car at the rear end which was difficult to diagnose. We need not have worried, we have collected our car tonight after the anti-roll bar links on the rear axle were identified as the cause and replaced. Alan always comes out to us personally to tell us what has been done and it is always service with a smile! We do not hesitate in recommending this company to other motorists. August 11, 2016
Reassuring phone calls.. Expert knowledge.. Very friendly staff and overall extremely professional people.. A true family business and I was highly impressed with the speed and quality of the workmanship plus all my requirements were carried out to the letter.. What an absolute breath of fresh air!! Main dealers take note!! February 03, 2016
Great deal on MOT and service. Staff very helpful and friendly. Thanks January 15, 2016
DPF warning light came on and local Honda dealer couldn't fit me in quickly. Goodes were very helpful in trying to find the fault but all the readouts suggested there wasn't a fault despite the car being in limp mode ! Regeneration needed which Goodes didn't charge for as they had only said they would investigate. Great service and people that knew what they were talking about. Will definitely use them again January 15, 2016
I 've used this garage for years and never had any problems. Lovely friendly staff would recommend this garage to others. January 12, 2016
I feel completely ripped off. £166 to find the fault (It was a knock on passenger side rear suspension), said it took them about 4 hours but only charged me 2. What a load of rubbish. Quote for repair was £215, Spoke to a few people & i was told £140 all in from one subaru specialist & from a subaru mechanic he said £150 would include fault finding, part & fitting. Everyone i have told is saying they have had my pants down, including a good friend who suggested them to me a long time ago, he couldnt believe how much they've ripped me off!! It's a disgrace and i shall not use them again and i shall spread the word among my friends and family to never use them again & also my car clubs i am a member of. Disgusting. January 07, 2016
Will not be using them again.over priced and unprofessional.make out like there the d's b's but there really not December 11, 2015
Very good, honest service. Will use again November 29, 2015
Alistiar and his team at Graham Goode are second to none. Having had dealings with a main dealership, we wanted a second opinion which we knew we could trust. ( We use G/Goode for servicing and MOTs ). Alistair explained everything, investigated the problem and contacted us before going ahead with the work. He carried out repairs that actually needed doing at half the cost! Being a female, we can often be fobbed off or ignored and this certainly is NOT the case with Graham Goode. With a friendly receptionist giving you a warm welcome, guys you can trust to carry out repairs and at reasonable prices, you won't go wrong using this garage. Thank you. September 10, 2015
Great customer service from the garage. They cleaned my car inside and out which I wasn't expecting and my car was ready for collection after lunchtime. September 10, 2015
I used this garage for the servicing of my previous car and returned to them recently following bad experiences (and excessive bills) from a main dealership. It's good to be back with people I know and trust who charge reasonable rates and give outstanding value for money. I have nmo hesitation in recommending them. August 20, 2015
We (all four of us in the family) have taken our cars to Alistair & colleagues for many years now - MOT, servicing, repairs and free advice! After 50 years of motoring, I haven't come across anyone I feel is so trustworthy, reliable, courteous and fair in services and in charging. I'm not at all surprised that the reviews given are virtually all five stars! The Winstanleys July 15, 2015
I used Graham Goode Motors for a repair to the air conditioning unit in my car and was very satisfied with the service received. Extra work was needed and they contacted me before starting the job to tell me what the repair would entail and how much it would cost. I will not hesitate to use them again when my car is due for servicing later this year. May 17, 2015
I had taken my car to a main ford dealer several times and they had not fixed the fault, the next step with ford was going to be very expensive as they needed to get a specialist in from ford !, I phoned Alistair at Graham Goode and booked my car in, Alistair was very helpful on the phone, my car was fixed in a matter of hours and I was amazed as ford where still scratching their heads, I would recommend Graham Goode to anyone, excellent customer service and technical knowledge. March 25, 2015
A friendly team, and excellent service, as always - and when I came back to collect the car it had been cleaned inside and out too! Highly recommended. March 23, 2015
I had my vehicle looked at by numerous people who all thought my vehicle had a serious engine fault. I took it to graham Goode for a final diagnostic and in half an hour they discovered it was only the water pump. They asked if it was ok to replace the part and got straight on with it. Not only have they saved me a lot of money but most importantly a lot of hassle and of course time I would have not got back! 5* to the garage will definitely be coming back if I experience any more problems! March 16, 2015
I have used Graham Goode motors for a number of years, I have always found them to extremely helpful and friendly, they are very knowledgeable, pay attention to detail and have carried out any work to a very high standard. I will be continuing to use Graham Goode motors in the future for any advice, servicing & parts. February 06, 2015
Great customer service from start to finish . January 20, 2015
I had problems with my car when visiting Leicester and chose this garage based on the reviews read on the internet! The service I received was excellent - was able to book my car in for the same afternoon, everything was explained properly to me and prices were very reasonable. Would definitely visit again if I am ever up that way again, thank you. January 19, 2015
Have used garage now for years for servicing, repairs & MOT, and have always been a happy customer. The garage and staff are always most helpful, especially when things go wrong. November 27, 2014
Excellent service from reception desk and through entire process. Very informative on all aspects of work done. I will definitely be using and recommending them from now on November 20, 2014
Excellent service provided November 10, 2014
Excellent from start to finish! Every aspect of the business is superb, not to mention Alastair "the guru" Mayne. I travelled just under 90 miles each way and it was well worth it, I take great pride in looking after my cars and I felt perfectly comfortable with the guys working on my RS. Will I go again...YES without question. Thanks GGR see you again soon! Justin. October 17, 2014
Having Graham Goode Motors grace their hydraulic ramps with a BMW was a privilege, The staff were polite and very professional and took care of my prised possession as if I would of done my self. This is the type of service I expect on my car and Graham Goode Motors deliver. October 14, 2014
Will be coming again!! Thank you to the team at Graham Goode Motors, Leicester! The staff was so clear and efficient at dealing with my vehicle. By the time I sat down, read the paper and had a coffee, the car was ready to go! The staff I met today (receptionist & technician) were incredibly friendly and delivered top customer service! This is the first time I have been to this garage and will highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you so much for your help today! October 13, 2014
Saved hard and bought my much loved RS MK1, read some good things about Goodes motors in different car mags. First day I drove the car she made some awful noise and kept cutting out, I limped to Goodes where I met Alistar for the first time, after a short conversation he new the problem straight away, easy fix, big relife on my part. Alistair is an encyclopaedia of knowledge concerning everything ford. I have used Goodes since, the friedly service and expertese are unrivalled, I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. A big Thank you to all at Goodes. October 06, 2014
excellent service and very knowledgeable about my focus rs and cosworths etc wouldn"t take it anywhere else.alistair is a top bloke thanks again. September 13, 2014
Its very difficult for women to find a garage they can trust, but I would not hesitate to recommend Graham Goode. First class service every time, totally honest and upfront about any work required and a great team to deal with. I certainly wont be taking my car anywhere else :) September 13, 2014
Graham Goode Racing have looked after my Ford Focus RS Mk1 & now my Fiesta ST for nearly 9 years. My cars have been race-tuned by GGR & need special care & attention. This garage provides me with 100% reliable work & much technical advice. Although I'm an enthusiast, I'm no engineer. Graham Goode, Alastair Mayne & the team are the best garage service I have ever had in over 50 years of driving high performance vehicles. September 09, 2014
Fault code C1288 (ABS pump sensor failure) - I struggled to find a garage with this code knowledge. Alistair said they had done it before and gave me a rough price. I also booked a Major service and MOT as the car would be off the road for 2 weeks. They came in under the quoted price with all work completed to a high standard. They kept in touch via email as I was on holiday. Since having the car back it has driven and sounded the best since I have had it. I would highly recommend them, and they are great with female drivers if you do need anything explaining (no silly jargon or trying to hide anything). August 27, 2014
I took my car for it's MOT and would like to say thankyou to Carole who booked in my appointment, she was lovely on the phone! And being a female myself so reassuring to hear a kind female voice at the end of the phone. My appointment was booked in quickly and efficiently. On attending the garage, Carole was very friendly and on collecting my car both her and Alastair made polite conversation with me and I felt very at ease. I will certainly recommend this garage and it's so refreshing as a female to step into a garage and not made to feel like a useless female! Keep up the excellent customer service!! August 21, 2014
Daughter's BMW broke: down night before she was going into hospital. RAC recommended this garage & I can only say that the service we received from reception, Andrew & Carol, was excellent. I was kept informed at all times regarding the necessary repairs & cost. The work was carried out to a high standard & the customer experience could not have been improved. Well done & many thanks. August 07, 2014
I have used Graham Goode Motors to care for my Ford Racing Puma for the last 6 years. Alastair has excellent technical knowledge and really makes parting with my money a less painful experience that in used to be! The mechanics seem top class and I feel, unlike most garages, they are definitely in the customer's corner. I wouldn't trust anyone else. Reception team are most welcoming and hospitable. Give them a try! August 02, 2014
I have been a customer of graham Goode motors for some 25yrs and they are always first class, high standards of work and super friendly service. I recommend many of my friends and they in turn feedback to me they are also delighted at the service. The manager Alastair Mayne is always cheery and willing to explain tech issues in detail and simple language. Excellent. July 31, 2014
Friendly, helpfully & knowledgeable staff. Very pleased thank you July 22, 2014
I am a regular customer at this garage.Always excellent service from the staff. Work carried out on time and to a very high standard. Costs are very reasonable 30% approx lower than a main dealer. I have never had any concern/complaints about any aspects of the service provided by this garage. July 16, 2014
I have used Graham Goode Motors for the last nine years and always found them very helpful. When phoned to say a unexpected part needed replacing the old one was always kept for me to see. June 17, 2014
We have used the garage on several occasions for both repairs and MOT over a number of years and have always received an excellent service. Staff are friendly, informative and professional. Any planned work is always explained fully in advance including the costs and we are always regularly updated with progress. June 13, 2014
Friendly Owners and Staff give first class service in clean and tidy workshops and reception. All this at fair competitive prices. I highly recommend this garage. June 13, 2014
Annual service for my car at Graham Goodes. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Had a bit of a squeaking noise when going over those wretched speed bumps and thought it was definitely a couple of shock absorbers. But no, just a dry rubber bush, no attention needed...how's that for honesty! Can't fault this Garage! June 11, 2014
Have been a customer of this garage since 2005. Fantastic service. Very helpful. Really good value. My partner was hesitant to go as he thought (due to the smart appearance of their premeses) that they looked like the sort of Garage that would charge a premium. He now won't go anywhere else! 5 Star June 11, 2014
All round excellent service, I would highly recommend Graham Goode Motors. June 10, 2014
My precious RS is looked after by Graham Goode's and i consider their stamp in the service book to be an asset! June 06, 2014
Having only ever heard goode (haha, sorry) things about this place, I decided to give them a shot to regas my aircon. Really friendly staff, explained all costs over the phone and fitted me in the same day; they even hung about late so I could collect my car when I was stuck in traffic. The sort of place I'd recommend to my mum - though the thought of her in a Scooby fills me with a deep dread... May 26, 2014
Great customer service and vehicle service as usual - for years I have never gone anywhere else May 24, 2014
Always use this garage at mot time for our cars, very honest test, welcoming reception/waiting area. May 21, 2014
The staff were very help full and polite . May 21, 2014
Trust them, so I use them for all my car needs! May 20, 2014
As always a very friendly and professional approach. Weather your a motor-head or just a user like my wife, problems are explained at the appropriate level. Can not see us going anywhere else. May 20, 2014
Since buying my 2007 ford focus ST and for many years love having upgrades on my car,I wanted to use a garage that had experience with my specific car and also a garage that was helpful,skilled and trustworthy. First I must mention I live 124 miles away from Graham Goode racing,my friend lives in Oadby,the town around the corner from Graham Goode,one afternoon my friend and I decided to pop round just for a general chat about upgrades for my car and general service and maintenance,this one conversation I had answered everything I needed to know about whether Graham Goode would be my garage of choice for upgrades,repairs,servicing and yes I even drove 124 miles for my MOT to be done.That alone should answer whether this garage is worth your time and money. Since visiting that day I've returned 4 times since.my only contact really during the working week is email and Alastair the workshop manager hasn't failed once to reply with answers for my questions. The lads in the garage are friendly and crack on with work they have in a clean and tidy environment. If you want regular work,repairs,servicing and MOT's then don't hesitate to get to this garage If you want your Focus ST or RS (other car brands also included) to go from a nippy car to a quick car,then get to GRAHAM GOODE NOW. May 13, 2014
Excellent friendly garage, always informed of the works that need doing and costed up front. Had an MOT and service and no extra items/repairs required. Have been using them for the last few years and wont go anywhere else now April 30, 2014
I thought the BMW Brakes were good but GRAHAM GOODE MOTORS have made them even better ! Friendly Service too. I strongly recommend this garage for service and repair and MOT's April 08, 2014
I would fully recommend this garage especially to female drivers they are very respectful and no messing around great ambience and clean and tidy reception and waiting area! The staff are very pleasant ! Thanks guys!! April 03, 2014
