A Mechanic You Can Rely On

I’ve known Glen for many years—even before he started Bedford Automotive—and he has always been my go-to mechanic. He’s taken care of both my vehicles and my wife’s, and I didn’t hesitate to stay with him when he opened Bedford Automotive. Glen is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and his prices are always fair. Most importantly, he’s someone I can truly trust, which is rare and invaluable when it comes to car care. Thank you, Glen, for consistently providing excellent service and peace of mind.

Dpf related diagnostics...garage tried to take me for a ride, READ !

Went for diagnostics of dpf related. The guy used most of the time to read through MOT recommendations to suggest work and prices it up. Did not give print of diagnostics that i paid for and worst of all, smeated my engine bay with oil and suggested a leak that needs to be fixed. I had the car at Merc a year ago, no leaks, no leaks on my drive either. Now i have to get that oil cleaned up. Avoid at any cost would be my recommendation, this guy operates from a small unit and will try to take you for a ride. Images on website are just images of some garage, not this one.

I was very happy with the service provided

I came to Bedford Autos following a recommendation and was very pleased with the service I received.
I needed a transmission oil service on my BMW. It was half the price of BMW here and although it’s quite a lengthy process, I decided to wait and was kept fully informed what was happening with my car. I received a free health check and advised on future care of my car. I will return.

Fantastic experience at Bedford autos

Fantastic experience at Bedford autos. Glens customer service is outstanding and so is his knowledge. We went with a gearbox issue and he’s sorted our car perfectly and done some extra bits as well, nothing was too much trouble. He went above and beyond to get us back on the road quickly, his prices are reasonable and he does his very best to make sure your aware of everything happening and whats required for your vehicle which is nice because as a woman you don’t always get treated with such respect going to a car garage. we will be using him again and we Highly recommend!

Top notch service

Bedford Automotive serviced my Audi last week. I was really impressed by Glen's attention to detail and his amazing customer service.
As well as a service, DSG gearbox service and new brakes, I'd asked him to do some work another garage had said I would need doing. He said the other garage's diagnosis was mistaken, explaining why, and doing himself out of that work which I thought showed great integrity.
If you're looking for a garage which is a cut above the rest, this is the place to go.

I used Bedford Automotive for a car service today and it certainly won’t be the last time. I literally cannot fault my experience.
Glen was fantastic, kept me informed throughout, explained things in detail in a way I can understand it. Customer care was top notch. He even dropped the car off to me on his way to another job. Considerate, helpful man. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Battery and alternator

My car battery & alternator had both died, the guys at Bedford automotive were incredibly helpful. They came for a call out the same day, recovered my car to the garage and had my car returned to me within the next day. All for a very reasonable price!
Glen was super helpful and made sure to call me with a quote before any work was started, and also gave my car a health check.
Would definitely recommend !!

I couldn't be happier with the work…

I couldn't be happier with the work Glen has done on my car. My car looks like a brand new motor and all the work was done to a high standard. Glen is a top professional who takes pride in his work and he's good at his job. The work was done on time, the results speak for themselves and Glen was honest and gave a good price. I will be coming back here for all my car jobs in the future.
