We have been using Sun Motors for many years and they have never let us down. They always give great advice, very honest and helpful and good value for money. We had a new tyre and a brake light fitted this morning and it was done in a jiffy. Highly recommend this garage, a great bunch of lads and top service! June 14, 2019
Once again, Sun Motors have delivered a first class service by replacing a faulty headlight. They quoted me the price, breaking down the different costs involved. They tried to fix the headlight to save me money, but that wasn't possible. When completed though, the final cost was cheaper than the original quote because they worked really hard to keep their labour costs down. I recommend this garage to all my friends and family-just recently one of my very-hard-to-please friends took her car to the garage-I was a little worried because she has super-high expectations, but she messaged me saying they were brilliant! I knew they would be! Well done, guys! February 10, 2019
Quick, friendly service. Fitted me in - just what I needed! Will use again. January 22, 2019
always a great service have looked after my cars for years prices are always explained and work is carried out to a very high standard have been stuck before and sun motors helped me helping me continue my journey on that day couldn't recommend them enough. January 15, 2019
It's great to have a garage you can trust. Service is excellent and communication, both our cars are looked after very well at Sun Motors. We would highly recommend them, a couple of my work colleague's now also use this garage after being messed around elsewhere. January 09, 2019
Very helpful and friendly team. Overall Service excellent. January 09, 2019
These guys have had my car twice now, both times I have found them to be extremely polite, helpful, honest and with great communication. If no work needs to be done they will say so, often refusing ANY payment if its a quiet day it seems! I honestly can't think of a single bad thing to say about these guys! As a female I was concerned about getting ripped off, these guys have been there years so I figured they must be fairly good to have stayed in business so long. Fairly good is an understatement. I will certainly never go elsewhere from now on. Thank you Sun Motors! Michelle with the knackered Hyundai xx December 20, 2018
Great service. Excellent customer care. Would highly reccomend to anyone looking for an MOT, service or repairs. Very knowledgeable employees and owner. November 27, 2018
Work completed to a very good level and within time scale agreed and budget quoted. November 21, 2018
Wow... This guy. This is about the 3rd time I have gone back to this place and all these three times these people have been correct. Now the service they provide is also good and they always seem happy, which does matter A LOT. Value for your money too. I would go there if I was you. November 14, 2018
I have taken my car to Sun Motors for a number of years now since they were recommended to me. Being a female, unfortunately one has to be wary that I'm not being ripped off as has happened to me before in other garages. I am always surprised when I take my car to Sun Motors expecting to pay for an MOT and service, but to be advised that I don't really need a service as I hadn't done enough miles to warrant it! I'm pretty sure other garages would just carry out the unnecessary work regardless. Once, I took my car in to have the back of my car checked because someone had gone into the back of me. I couldn't see any damage but am aware that sometimes damage can be done that isn't noticeable to the untrained eye. Sean put my car up on the car lift and thoroughly checked it-he couldn't see any damage. I asked him how much for his time-he said, "Nothing." I had to force him to take £10! I would highly recommend Sun Motors, especially if you are female. November 11, 2018
For around 11 years I have used this garage for my cars MOT and repairs when needed and the service has always been superb. Whether it is a minor issue or a major job Dave and his team always tackle the problem professionally , swiftly and at a very competitive price. Advice is always there and options offered when available, I would highly recommend anyone to use Sun Motors . October 31, 2018
I have been using this garage for many years and always found the staff polite and courteous and excellant to deal with the work they have carried out for me second to none. Other members of my family also use the garage and im sure we'll be coming here for many years to come. October 26, 2018
I have used this garage for the last 15 years, with every car my wife and I have owned, Dave, Steve and Shane have always provided excellent service, help and advice even if popping in on way home with car about strange noise. They are always helpful, friendly and above all honest. I wouldn't use anywhere else! October 25, 2018
Excellent service October 24, 2018
I have been using Sun Motors for a long time now, and yesterday was another example of why. Issue identified and explained, repaired and ready to collect. All very simple and hassle free. Without doubt will be using again. Thanks guys. September 27, 2018
Never been to this Garage before but followed a friends advice and I am so glad I did,never been happier they even fixed my in car lighter with no extra charge. I had brought a new one thinking mine was broke but all it needed was some prongs moving and hey presto, other garages would gladly of coned me out of ex money so I am more than very,very happy and will Defoe use Sun Motors again and will recommend to any one that wants to listen . 10/10 No 100/100 September 04, 2018
Fabulous service once again at sun motors . Wouldn’t go anywhere else to have my car serviced. Extremely honest and up front about what needs doing. All done as quickly as possibly to get you back on the road. September 04, 2018
Quick friendly service. I know nothing about cars and a lot of garages would exploit this and quote higher prices. Never feel as if I’m being had here, in fact they did a half hour repair on the locking mechanism of my boot today and didn’t even charge! All works done and needed were clearly and simply explained... won’t be talking my car anywhere else. August 13, 2018
Always very professional; both in workmanship and customer service. July 13, 2018
Went to Sun Motors for the first time as my MOT was due. I had been told by another garage that I was already looking at a £500 bill for repairs + cost of MOT + the cost of whatever else was needing to be done - so I was shocked to be told by the guys at Sun Motors that my car passed the MOT!! So glad that I chose to try Sun Motors and I will definitely stay with them from now on! July 08, 2018
Once again first class service received from this local garage. Booked it in on Monday for the air conditioning to be fixed on Friday. In-depth info given to me about the possible pricing implications. Dropped it in at 9am on Friday and the work was finished by 10:30am within the prices quoted. Back on the road by afternoon. Excellent! July 06, 2018
As a woman it is important to me to be able to trust a garage not to rip me off, I would really recommend sun motors, Always excellent service very honest staff, everything is always explained clearly to me. June 22, 2018
Carried out a repair due to an oil leak. Upfront about the cost and the labor costs. Even recommended the work didn't need to be carried out straight away so you know they are being honest which is what you want from a garage. Also very friendly and would highly recommend to anyone. June 15, 2018
I have used sun motors for many years and have always been satisfied by the service and expertise. I find them very trustworthy and would recommend them to anyone. I have taken the car up to them on occasions for advice and have never been charged. My family also use the garage. June 05, 2018
IN THE ELEVEN YEARS I HAVE LIVED IN WOODGRANGE DRIVE IT HAS BEEN MY GO TO GARAGE, FRENDLY AND APPROACHABLE THE ADVICE IS ALLWAYS SOUND IN THIS DAY AND AGE IT IS NICE TO GET THIS SORT OF SERVICE. THANKS SUN MOTORS. June 04, 2018
I have used Sun Motors for over 15 years now and have always found them to be efficient and reliable. The staff are always ready to help and are trustworthy and extremely personable. A garage I have recommended to many - excellent May 26, 2018
May 25, 2018
Always good work done here. They never do work on the car unless it is absolutely necessary. We have been sent away before now to 'come back in 6 months when it really needs doing'. We trust their judgement and their work. May 22, 2018
Excellent service. Friendly and competent. Have used them for years and would highly recommend. May 22, 2018
Excellent and honest service as usual. May 21, 2018

Very friendly honest and trustworthy . I was recommended to this garage and wouldn't go anywhere else. April 10, 2018
Fast and efficient, great staff, super helpful April 05, 2018
MOT required very minor repair which Sun Motors carried out with minimal cost (the MOT had previously been failed by Renault garage who quoted a large sum to make the repair). Impressed at the integrity of the garage as well as speed of getting works done April 04, 2018
I've used Sun Motors for more than 5 years across at least five different cars within the family and they have always been extremely reliable, honest and helpful. Their charges are very reasonable and they offer a very friendly service with good old fashioned ( but with all the latest high tech equipment) desire to help the customer. March 15, 2018
Very efficient and premium service. Fair and competitive pricing. Kept me informed throughout every step of the service. Very grateful. March 09, 2018
I am a long time user of Sun Motors. I have always found them friendly and helpful. My power steering failed last Sunday. I contacted them on Monday and I was back on the road by Tuesday. First class service. Thanks guys. March 02, 2018
Always go above and beyond. Friendly, trustworthy and always willing to explain. Have been using them for over 20 years and would not hesitate to recommend them to others. Keep up the excellent work. February 15, 2018
Have been using this garage for approximately 15 years. They always work to a very high standard, are reliable and trustworthy. They explain clearly what needs to be done and keep you informed when necessary. They have never quoted me for unnecessary work to make more money. They have done everthing for me from changing a light bulb to head gaskets. Recommended to a number of friends who now regularly use them. Well done guys keep up to great work. January 24, 2018
Just had my van MOT-ed and serviced this morning. This garage works like a well oiled machine (excuse the pun). Fast, professional, courteous and value for money are just a few words I'd use to describe the service I received today. January 18, 2018
We have used Sun Motors since the day we moved to Southend, 16 years ago, with our car breaking down late Friday afternoon the day we moved! We didn't know the area and whilst I started to unpack my husband found Sun and Dave couldn't have been more helpful - the car was sorted asap (we had to drive back to collect our kids that evening). We have remained loyal and have been satisfied with the level of service and customer service with every car we've had. Booking the car in at a convenient time is never an issue and parts are discussed and ordered in good time. It's always a joy to drop the car in as Dave and the Team are happy and helpful. January 12, 2018
I have been using Sun Motors for a year or so now and have always had an excellent service. They guys are totally trustworthy and have great customer service, with the customers best interests at heart. The prices are fair and they are not intent in ripping people off or scamming like a lot of garages. No strutting around the car tutting and conjuring up other issues - a great bunch of blokes and a great company. I wont go anywhere else. Thoroughly recommend. January 11, 2018
Excellent garage. Helpful staff. Reasonable prices without skimping on the work they put in. Always seem thorough and conscientious in their work. January 09, 2018
It may be that you have lost your faith in garages. It may be that you feel ‘they’re all the same’. They’re not! Sun Motors have a team you can trust 100%. It is run by an exceptionally bright man who has a brilliant team of men who constantly go the extra mile. They have been servicing our family cars for generations. They are clever, trustworthy and fair. What more do you need from a garage? But they are more than that. They are integral to the community. That trust is hard won. Excellent. January 03, 2018
Always use sun motors, never had any problems, the service is brilliant, my car fixed in a couple of hours after going down a hole in the road and busting a spring, many thanks keep up the good work guys. January 03, 2018
I wouldn’t go anywhere else, great team, great service and honest, reliable work & pricing. Can’t recommend highly enough 5* November 09, 2017
I have 3 vehicles which I take to Sun Motors, always friendly no matter what time of day. Honest, helpful and very knowledgeable advice. Reasonable and competitive prices. Will always tell people this is the garage they should be going to,and Dave is the guru of all things MX5 related! November 08, 2017
I am not one to write reviews as a rule , but i had to comment on the first class service I received this week at Sun Motors , the speedy repair time along with the friendly professional advice from the team there, are the reason why I would not hesitate to recommend them, I will definately be returning the next time my car needs an MOT or service. November 03, 2017
I was lucky enough to discover Sun Motors around 6 years ago. After a lifetime of fighting with the liars, cheats and thieves that usually run garages, it was a breath of fresh air to meet someone honest, reliable and trustworthy. They explain things clearly, discuss what is required and the cost, in advance of doing anything, and do what is agreed by the agreed time. They are a friendly and charming bunch, and will go out of their way to help and advise you. I wish more of my friends lived in the area so I could introduce them to Dave and Shane and the excellent work they do. I am grateful to them for making car ownership a pleasure instead of a pain!! October 26, 2017
Fab service from some really friendly chaps! I travel a far distance to use this garage and can highly recommend them! September 01, 2017
Brilliant customer service, honest and reliable. Told me job was x amount and timescale and delievered on both fronts! Very pleased and highly highly recommended August 04, 2017
Fantastic, friendly service is guaranteed when using sun motors. Can always rely on the work been carried out quickly and professionally. They are always happy to chat through things and will only do work you have agreed to. Brilliant bunch of guys who are always happy to help. April 06, 2017
Im an ex-engineer and so am quite fussy that work is done correctly. I found some Garages seriously lacking but Sun Garage I have been using for around 3 years now and they are great. They do a job and they do it right. They clearly explain what needs doing and they tell you the cost and actually have saved me money in the past. Their costs are very reasonable and I like the way they inform you if something is liable to need doing soon or something to be aware of. The guys are never pushy or sales orientated like some, infact its what I call a good ole fashioned garage with proper engineers and values. would I recommend them to someone else? I have done and will continue to do so. Marks out of 10 .......well 10 of course. April 02, 2017
As ever friendly and efficient. Thoroughly recommended. April 02, 2017
excellent service February 21, 2017
We have two cars serviced at Sun Motors (I have a Fiat & husband has a Toyota RAV) and they have always done a great job. It's a friendly garage and they give clear explanations of the work needed. We both feel confident that they are doing a good job of caring for our cars. January 26, 2017
Great garage you can trust - always go that extra mile! January 24, 2017
Went in for MOT,excellent service,looked after very well,any problems clearly explained,I will certainly go there for any other work. January 10, 2017

If you want a team of guys who care about the motor ,the rules , and fair play these are the boys . Nothing is a problem but an opportunity to sort your problem fairly . They also very much care about you !! What's best for you What's best for your pocket ! What's best for the motor . Only complaint the owner is a ugly Monkey !!!!!! December 02, 2016
We are delighted with the service we get from Sun Motors. They initially repaired one of our vans and we were very satisfied and have since continued to take all our vans and personal cars to them. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and have done so already. As a business it is important that our delivery vehicles are reliable and breakdown free and Sun motors recognise that in addition to the speedy, honest and trustworthy service they provide, nothing is too much trouble Thank you to all the staff and owner of Sun Motors. December 02, 2016
Excellant service as always. I would recommend Sun Motors to all my friends and colleges. November 30, 2016
I HAVE BEEN USING THIS GARAGE FOR YEARS, THE STAFF ARE FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL, AND ALL THEIR WORK IS CARRIED OUT TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD, THEY HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR ME AND MY FAMILY ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASSION AND I FULLY RECOMMEND THEM. November 27, 2016

Dave and his guys at sun motors have looked after my car and vans for the last 5 years they offer the best service that I have ever experienced at a garage, always going above and beyond to help me get any problems I've had resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible. Most importantly with my latest car and van the research they have done to help me out was unbelievable. I would not consider using another garage and would rate them 10/10 November 26, 2016
Very honest and helpful, definately appreciate honesty so to have the mechanic be completely upfront and not overcharge me on fixing faults, which would be pointless, was appreciated. Mechanic also gave me some great advice which made me a happy customer too! Will definately use in the future and would recommend to others. November 25, 2016
friendly efficient November 23, 2016
I've been very happy to use Sun Motors for several years. Without fail they give a prompt, friendly and do what they say their going to do within the timeframe they say, service, MOT check and/or repairs. I've never experienced being "ripped off" as I have at other garages and think they provide overall value for money. They always take time to explain what and how they're going to service or fix my car's problems as I like to know. When I've left my car overnight I believe it to be safe on their gated and locked forecourt. All-in-all I wouldn't go anywhere else and highly recommend! November 17, 2016
Excellent service and very competitive price! I would definitely recommend this garage to friend, family and business associates. November 07, 2016
First choice for my car ! Service and repair. November 01, 2016
We are very satisfied with the fast friendly service we get every time we use Sun Motors. We will use Sun Motors again and again . October 26, 2016
Everything was explained clearly to me in a way I could understand, but without making me feel silly. Everyone at the garage was so helpful, friendly and polite that I didn't feel intimidated as I have some at some garages and I will certainly be going back to Sun Motors for all the work on my car. October 25, 2016
A reliable garage highly recommended October 24, 2016
The best garage I have ever used. Excellent service from Dave, fully explained everything to me. Ran a diagnostic on my vehicle but instead of taking the computers error codes for granted actually investigated the problem and found the part only needed a good clean instead of replacing, saved me hundreds of pounds. 10 out of 10, thank you October 20, 2016
Very professional, giving good clear advise and carrying the work out efficiently October 07, 2016
Every time I have come to Sun Motors, I have received the best service a garage can offer. This is a garage that can be trusted to provide the best advice in a friendly manner without ever over charging. In many cases, they help without even asking for anything in return. I would never go anywhere else. October 03, 2016
I have used Sun Motors for several years and have always found them polite and helpful. They are ready to explain when there is no need to do certain things that would cost me more which I really appreciate. It does give extra peace of mind to know Trust My Garage backs them. September 28, 2016
Very polite and a attentive service September 21, 2016
As a professional engineer and amateur mechanic I am very conscious of the performance of garages that I use for work which I can't do for myself. I have been a Sun customer for 13 years and have never had any cause to regret my choice. The service is friendly, prompt and efficient and excellent value. They will always "go the extra mile" in the event of a breakdown. I am also a terrible cynic and don't trust a word on revue sites as my feeling is that anyone could write them. Hence it is not important to me whether the garage is in a scheme or not. However I accept that many people do take heed of revues and I am therefore delighted to endorse Sun. September 21, 2016
