After my 2021 VW ID.3 suffered a steering rack malfunction, I was told by VW that I'd have to wait over a month just for an appointment. … I took the car to GT instead. It was the best decision I could have made. Not only did they replace the part, but they also performed a full service and updated the car's software—and I still saved a fortune compared to the other quotes. … Honest, efficient, and highly recommended for EV owners.

Found GT Service Centre after BMW told me I would have to wait two weeks for an appointment … Called Tom who knew straight away what was required and was booked in … two working days later. … Quite simply the best experience I have ever had with a garage in 40 years of car ownership. … I would recommend to anyone and will be back for any other work required on my 8 series BMW.
Fantastic service from all the staff when I went to have my brake pads replaced. … They found my discs were in need of replacement … I was able to see all my old pads and discs, nothing was hidden from me. The price was half what Mercedes wanted and they fitted Mercedes parts!! … Thank you guys. I'll be back!!!
Called on Thursday and they had us booked in for first thing Monday. … I received a warm and friendly welcome on arrival. The work we had done was completed within the day, in fact by 1pm, and was around a third of the price Volvo would have charged. Really happy with the service overall and won't hesitate to return to Tom and his team for future car needs.
Range Rover Sport in for service. Very friendly service, excellent communication, found an issue with the car and phoned … to ask for authorisation to repair. All mechanics friendly. A really first class team offering excellent quality. I will be recommending.
Fantastic service on my wife's Bentley...even dropped the vehicle back. nice touch Cheaper than Main dealer by far and better service. Who cares for Marble covered waiting rooms!!
My Mini had an unpleasant smell when stationary, my regular garage was unable to diagnose the issue. … I contacted GT Service Centre who recognised the issue, booked me in and explained the problem very comprehensively. … We had full confidence in Tom, who was determined to resolve the problem. We would certainly use GT Service Centre again.
Absolutely brilliant service! Had a number of malfunction lights come on in my Audi RS5 - Audi Harrogate couldn't look at it for a couple of weeks and the local Audi specialists I typically use couldn't fit me in either. GT Service, despite being busy, said they would 'squeeze' me in … They gave me a lift back home after I dropped the car off in the morning, kept me up to date throughout the day and then delivered the car back to my house in the afternoon having solved all issues! And the charge was very reasonable, too.
What a great experience found my coolant leak in five mins Car was repaired next day Would highly recommend this garage to anyone ! 2nd time I've used them Both times excellent Mercedes E class AMG sport
Fantastic service. I called up with a parking brake fault and Toby said to drop the car in later that day. Within a couple of hours the fault was diagnosed, replacement part was ordered and fitted. All done for a fair price compared to the local BMW dealership.
I recently took my electric car to GT Service Centre for both the 40k and 50k miles service, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff was highly professional, exceptionally friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. What stood out the most was their honesty in assessing my car's needs and providing transparent recommendations. …
I can't thank the team at GT enough! … On the journey up from Nottingham, the car started making a weird noise and the steering wasn't what it should be. … I dropped it off on Wednesday morning and then had it back today (Thursday). They also diagnosed and sorted a much more serious performance issue with the turbo that I've been trying to get sorted for a while. … They've been transparent throughout and have fully explained the work that needed doing. Thanks guys.
After a recent health check at my local BMW dealer several matters were highlighted for immediate attention. I wanted a second opinion and was recommended to go to GT Service Centre in Harrogate. They undertook an inspection of my vehicle and concluded that no works were required. It is so very refreshing to receive an honest opinion … I will be using them again for all my MOT and servicing needs.
Had a mega transmission flush (Audi A4 allroad) I asked a lot of questions in which they were willing to take time in answering which these days is refreshing … they even filmed a short video to show me the difference in colour between the new and old oil, definitely use this garage again which is something I wouldn't say likely, recommended.
Tom & his team are my saviours! My car developed a dodgy rattle, but I needed it the following day to take my daughter to her Duke of Edinburgh expedition. I phoned GT service at 10am, took it in that afternoon at 2pm & the mechanic squeezed it in between jobs to ensure it was safe for my trip up the dales. 10/10 on customer service - thank you GT Service! Nice to see you've got an MOT bay now as well - I'll be back when it's time for mine.
Fantastic personal service from Tom and his team. Seem to have all the required equipment and knowledge to look after premium vehicles without the main dealer costs. Would highly recommend.
Top service, originally went in for a clutch and flywheel as recommended by a third party garage. They did their own tests and found it was actually the differential which needed replacing. Solved the issues I was having, saving me getting the job done twice! 10/10 communication from Toby at GT … Would recommend to everyone.
These guys couldn't have been more friendly and helpful when I got a flat tyre. They ordered me in a difficult to get hold of tyre the same day and the job was finished that afternoon. They even allowed me to pick up my car out of hours.
It is quite refreshing these days when you find a great, professional and caring, independent garage who do their very best to look after their customers. … Having retired recently, on limited income, I feel able to put my trust in Tom and his team. My third visit today. They are honest, up-front, competitive and very helpful. It is a pleasure to be able to restore my faith in a decent, honest, hard working garage. Thank you!
I drive a lot for work and on the way to an appointment my car went into limp mode, I was miles from home and miles from my appointment. … I limped there and explained the situation, they said they could help and even gave me a courtesy car so I could still make my appointment. … About an hour later they called to say they had found the issue … By 13:00 my car was ready for collection.
I recently took my Volvo for a service at GT Service Centre in Pannal near Harrogate and I cannot recommend them enough. The car is running much smoother/quieter than before and returning better MPG. It turned out it needed an air-con compressor belt … but they managed without any delays. … I was given a BMW to use during the service which was great. … Thanks Tom.
I've used GT a number of times and their services are exceptional. For me personally their professionalism and knowledge is better than ANY main dealer I've used, definite 5 stars!
Sure you know the feeling, you are driving along and the dreaded Engine warning light appears on your dashboard. The image of money fluttering away out of your wallet as the garage tries to identify the problem. Well... that's before I came across Tom and the team at GT. … this is probably the cleanest garage that I have ever been in and the entire team could not be more helpful if they tried. Quick diagnosis and remedy … I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
GT looked over my Dad's much loved MK1 SLK to diagnose an ABS issue.
Superb customer service, with friendly professional staff. The re-gassing of the air con on my Swift was done speedily at an extremely competitive price. I would use this company for any automotive work. Tony F.
Excellent service. They have looked after my Mini for the past 3 years. Highly recommend them.
Great service thank you!! All updated on iDrive. Job done on time and scheduled in quickly.
These guys kept me well informed and did their very best to keep the cost down. When I was due to pick up the car … these kind people brought my car to my home to me. They literally went the extra mile. Their billing system is absolutely transparent and they take the time to explain anything you wish.
As a new owner to a 2012 Range Rover I was looking for an independent specialist who could get to know my car and look after it long-term.
We have used this company for a few years now and have found their service to be really good. Very reliable and friendly people. They do our servicing and MOT for us. I can recommend them wholeheartedly.
Had a fault light appear just before a long journey with our 6 month old. Took the car in to be checked and they did so within minutes, free of charge.
Great garage, and let's face it good garages are few and far between these days. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Detailed invoice explained. Highly recommended for all aspects of vehicle repair. Thanks again.
Discovered them as a result of a 'fit for me' when purchasing brake pads from Europarts. First class service, returned for an MOT and persuaded an AA recovery guy to take a neighbour's car there when its clutch failed for an £800 job so their excellent customer service reaped its reward.
Very professional throughout for a service/MOT at a good price. Extra work was needed on brakes as suspected, and was explained and confirmed with clarity. Couldn't fault them. Will return.
Excellent, professional and friendly service at a far better price than at the dealership. Would not hesitate to use GT again.
Got my MOT done here, very efficient, polite staff and a great price.
Great service, recommend them for your EV.
Really impressed with GT. 1st time customer but will certainly be back for future work/services. Helpful, friendly team. Would recommend!
Very professional outfit Toby was really helpful with advice what was required for my car ringing me before commencing work thanks
Excellent prompt and polite service. Sorted multiple problems and kept me informed at all stages of repair. Definitely use again and highly recommend.
