Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 314 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the exceptional service, highlighting the friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable staff who provide clear communication. Many appreciate the fair and competitive pricing, often finding it more affordable than main dealerships, with no hidden charges. Reviewers frequently mention detailed video inspections and complimentary car cleaning, making the overall experience highly satisfactory.

A few reviewers also experienced unsatisfactory repair quality, with problems recurring or needing further attention elsewhere.

A Garage I can trust

Transparent service and regular communication, coupled with good advice. I trust Volksmaster Oldham totally and travel a long way to get my van serviced and MOT'd there.

Very pleased

Recently started using the Volksmaster car and van centre as my Crafter has come out of warranty but I still wanted to use someone who knows the van.
I’ve been really happy with the service I’ve had and the staff there are friendly and do their best to get you back on the road as soon as possible without the high main dealer charges. I’ll be using them all the time moving forward.

Company kept me up to date with issues with my car. Sent a video of issues that needed immediate attention and any advisory that needed some attention. Picked up car after issues had been sorted and my car was clean inside and out.
Although not the cheapest they are definately the best on customer service

Really pleased with the service

Really pleased with the work done at Volksmaster Hollins Road. The team were really friendly and kept me updated along the way. Thanks to Jordan for keeping me in the loop about my car. I received my car back and it was nice and clean which was lovely. Overall, they were very professional and got me back on the road as soon as possible. Can’t recommend them enough!

Bury Branch- As usual

Bury Branch- As usual, a great job. However, Volkmaster offered a 30th Anniversary deal. Full service and MOT for £289. Pay £10 upfront and get a £50 discount. I was dissapointed, because I was offered my £50 discount. Not on £289, but on £314 for full service and MOT. A £25 difference in Volksmaster favour. Your response appears very reasonable, however should your offer have not been clear upfront?

Hi Jonathan, apologies for the confusion. The price you have advised in your review is for 1-1.5 litre engines. With yours being a 2 litre diesel, the price is higher. Thank you for the review and helpful feedback :)

Excellent service

Car booked in for routine oil service and haldex oil change with pump clean.
First rate service from dropping it off at reception to picking it up afterwards.
Very informative health check video of the car on the ramp kept me informed of any issues it had and options to correct.
Staff,as always,very friendly and approachable.
Car has been cleaned inside and out when I picked it up.
Another happy customer and would highly recommend.

Highly recommend the garage

Highly recommend the garage! Just moved to the area and got recommended volksmaster by my previous garage.
Car had issues and they got it straight in for diagnostic and sent a detailed walk around video and list of faults. I had to wait to hear if warranty would cover the issues, which they wouldn't. Soon as I told them I couldn't get it covered under warranty and id be paying they got the work done the following day (they had to order a part)! Picked the car up at lunch time and it had been washed and valeted! Proper friendly staff and definitely using them for any future car issues!
