"Absolutely Outstanding Service! I can't recommend Lee at LDR Auto Car Care highly enough. From the moment I walked in, Lee was professional, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain what needed to be done and why, giving me total confidence that my car was in the best possible hands. The quality of the work was top-notch. Lee doesn’t just fix cars, he cares about his customers, and it really shows. It's rare to find someone so trustworthy and dedicated in the auto repair world. If you're looking for reliable, efficient, and friendly service, look no further than Lee at LDR Auto Car Care. He’s earned a customer for life!"

Paynton Highfield - June 21, 2025

"Booked my car in for an air con re gas as my car would only ever blow warm air (this is something they advised me doing when I had my service earlier this year which was also extremely efficient). They were very understanding of my working hours and worked around my drop off and pick up times. Air con is perfectly cold now and staff are very friendly! Lovely working space, felt very comfortable leaving my car in their care. Highly recommend!! :)"

"Fantastic experience, been looking for a garage i can go to locally for years but never found one i feel are right, be it price, trust, workmanship. Don't need to look anymore, got told about LDR from my daughter, Lee the owner was top class, I had a MOT, Service and 2 re-gas for air-con, got sent a video of the underneath of my car detailing what's good and bad, great touch. Communication from Lee is top class, very nice bloke who explains everything in detail. Pricing is fantastic also, so impressed with this place and I won't take my cars anywhere else now, all I've ever wanted from a garage, thank you Lee absolute top job, Eco air-con was unreal. See you next time, all the best Marc."

"I recently visited LDR Auto Car Care to have my brake pads and tyres changed, as well as to diagnose an issue with my air conditioning. The customer service was truly five-star—the team was welcoming, efficient, and professional. Lee, the mechanic, was exceptionally knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly. The pricing was competitive, offering great value for the quality of service. I highly recommend LDR Auto Car Care for anyone looking for top-tier mechanics service."
