A1 Autocentre Reviews 

Using A1 Autocentre since I moved in South Ockendon, 11 years ago. Very happy with their service- the staff is very polite, easy to book MOT or service and other repairs, very professional business and highly recommended !

Year after year these guys deliver the best service out there. I really appreciate the effort they put into everything to deliver the best service. Especially Dean, great guy with great customer care. I will recommend to anyone.

Highly recommend if you want an honest, professional and reasonably priced work done.
Staff are very helpful give advice when asked. Very easy to book no delays. Very reliable.

Great and polite staff, nothing was a problem. Would definitely recommend.
Would service and MOT my car here. They also have a deliver and collect service.

I've been using A1 for a while now & they never disappoint you. Quality service as always friendly staff that always want to help you in the best way they can.

Only place i go to with my car so helpful and aways there to help and a great team and the work is always at 100%

Hi
Finally I have a chance to review an amazing service that Steve, from Maidstone A1 garage did in my car. It took a bit more time than I was expecting, but Steve kept his word to give me the car in same day. He replaced the timing chain of my Nissan juke. The car cames spotless, the engine smooth and clean i could see all photos of the service. And I have the invoice. Amazing service that I would do again. I definitely recommend.

Second time using A1, and again, a faultless display of customer service. Service and MOT required (along with a niggling issue with the FNS wheel) and all works completed and an MOT pass within 90 minutes. The brake fluid needed changing and the system flushing and instead of jist doing the work, they called and asked to proceed. A honest garage with a comfortable seating area also. Why can't ALL garages be as upfront, honest, reliable and professional as A1 in Ockendon.

It’s always a pleasure to visit A1 in South Ockendon! Very friendly & helpful staff. I had an MOT today on my Audi A3 which usually passes with no issues. Unfortunately today it was a Fail due to a major defect on the drive shaft joint 😩
I’m booked in for the repair next Wednesday 22nd October, and I’m confident the work will be carried out to a high standard. I’ve recommended A1 to friend’s & family too! *****

HORRENDOUS!
After I had bought my care, I waiting a couple of months to have it cleaned, only to find out that all the curbed alloys had been made to look immaculate. When washed, it all came off and now looks horrendous. I have to pay for all 4 wheels to be re-done. The badges had been painted over to patch them up, that was revealed after a wash. The car flagged up as needing a service, only 5 months after purchase, when i was told it had a new service right before purchase. Engine management light came on after a month of ownership, because it needed a new sensor. The entire paintwork looked mint on receipt, but after cleaning, its was very scratched and covered up. Tried to get in touch with the owner- to be completely ignored! All in all, VERY annoyed!!!i

I had some work done on my Chrysler Delta at A1 and the owner Steve was polite professional. He sorted my vehicle out and did a thorough competent job
Highly satisfied and would recommend this garage and owner/ team to anyone seeking a quality service

Whenever ive used A1 wether it's for an Mot test ,a service or for mechanical repairs ive always recieved a very professional polite and friendly service at an honest value for money price! Wouldn't hesitate to use in the future!

I really like this garage so helpful and so good at what they do! One of the best things about the staff I found them to be so honest and trustworthy and their service is simply amazing! It really felt this garage isn’t all about money making and my car feels and drives much better after their service Thank you 🙏

Fantastic garage, been getting my MOT done here for the past 6yrs. Always quick. My van failed it's MOT this year but Taz showed me the issues and told me what to get done.
Excellent

Fantastic garage with a fantastic knowledgeable and friendly team. Picked up my car, serviced it in a timely manner, cleaned it and returned it with a smile.

You can't go wrong with A1 Autocentre, great workmanship and honest advice.

Extremely friendly, honest service, had to wait as the number of people using them for MOTs,
but definitely worth the wait, have used them a few times, never had anything other then a friendly service.

I love this garage along with the staff so much! Everyone so friendly, nothing is too much bother I'll never go anywhere else. Thank you!

Have my cars mot and service at A1 auto centre every year.never had any problems.A good bunch of guys to top.

I took my modern car to A1 Auto for its annual MOT test, and was shocked when the technician failed it due to a single missing wheel nut on the front tyre. The decision was made with complete indifference, without even asking me whether I had a spare nut available – something that could have been easily resolved on the spot.
Unfortunately, there was no sense of professionalism or willingness to help. It felt as though the goal was simply to fail the vehicle rather than ensure safety.
I strongly advise others to be cautious when dealing with this centre, and to consider alternative garages that show more care and professionalism towards their customers.

Absolutely spot on with a last minute MOT because the Kia main dealer in Brentwood completely messed up (I phone PM on 31.10.24 and was fitted in at 0800 on 02.11.24 as an emergency). The team at A1 are friendly, courteous, extremely professional and welcoming. They will be getting repeat business for sure.
