We don't own a car at the moment; we gave it up to pay off our debts. One thing I don't miss is the constant worry of it going wrong and then trying to figure out which garage in my area had the least chance of ripping me off. At the end of the day unless you know someone personally how can you tell if your car actually needs the work that they say it does? You can't and you have to trust that they aren't making it up. When our car went wrong I always wanted to get a second opinion because I never quite trusted that it was what they said it was but of course that would have been a costly affair so I let them get on with the work. One day we stumbled across a guy who was ...  Read the complete review

Upon reading recent reviews about thompson performance cars I find I must put my view forward. I have used this garage for nearly 3 years now and have always enjoyed a very good level of service. There are lots of garages around who profess to offer the best service at the best price but often dont. I drive a porsche boxster & was concerned when I came to the end of a service I had with a main agent. I needed a full service & an MOT & had various quotations ranging from aprox £200 to £500. A friend of mine recomended thompson performance so I decided to go there & was told when booking in what engine ...  Read the complete review

I am somewhat confused On writing a review recently about Thompson Performance Cars I referred to an article written by "mickthemechanic." In this article I referred to him as a clown so I was somewhat taken aback when daveyboy69beer posted a reply in defence of being a clown & also continued to refer to the article which was aimed at mickthemechanic. It now appears that daveyboy69beer & mickthemechanic are the same person, which substantiates my review which referred to Childish, Malicious reviews being posted by clowns. I feel very sorry for anybody who has had such a bad experience as daveyboy69beer has ...  Read the complete review

Thompson Performance Cars - Bad Service, Bad Attitude (228 words)

Only one thing can be said about Thompson Performance Cars, bad service and bad attitude. I am a freelance mechanic who has had to put right on a number of occasions, poor workmanship by Thompsons. One case in particular, a client had been charged for a spark plug change as part of a service, I have seen the invoice, but infact the spark plugs had only been cleaned, and not replaced. When the client complained, they felt someone intimidated by the staff there, and nothing was done for them. I have worked on other vehicles which were supposed to have been maintained by Thompson, and all I can say in my professional capacity as ...  Read the complete review

Thompson Performance Cars This garage was recommended to me by a friend who has used them for a number of years. After my car had been MOT Tested I was invited into the workshop & shown the items that needed attention, I was then quoted a price for the work. After ringing several Garages for various quotes on the work I decided to use Thompsons. I was very kindly given a lift home on taking my car in, & when the work was completed my car was returned to me Fixed & Cleaned, I was also surprised to see that the final bill was less than the original quote. I would highly recomend this garage to anybody who ...  Read the complete review
