Feedback
Since buying a VW T5 have been using Automotive Engineering for repairs and servicing. They are a very knowledgeable, friendly garage where nothing seems to be any trouble. I am very satisfied with all of the work they have done for me and would highly recommend them to anyone.

We have used Nigel and Automotive Engineering for almost 20 years. Recommendation itself. The attention to detail, quality of work and friendly support is second to none.

Nigel is always helpful. He explains things clearly so non mechanics can understand. He goes above and beyond.

I’ve been using Automotive Engineering since the start of the year and have been really impressed with the friendliness of the team, honest prices and attention to detail with my car. They’re a great local business and I would certainly recommend them to anyone in the Northampton area!

I have used Automotive Engineering for over a year now for MOT and general repairs. I like that they are 'old school' in the sense of they take the time to investigate and diagnose an issue, rather than just recommend 'replacing the whole system' etc. which has saved me a lot of money over time.

Booked my Audi A3 in with these guys after a strange rattling started at the front of my car. Took my car in on the arranged date and they identified the issue within the day and fixed the problem same day for me. They went out of their way to fix the issue and charged me a fair price! Brilliant service, friendly guys and will definitely return should I have any other issues or if I want to book a service.

Entrusted a very tidy Mk 4 Golf Anniversary to Nigel and James for a full service, cam belt etc and a few other jobs. Everything was carried out very professionally on what is a 19 year old car, including rectifying a few ‘less-experienced repairs’ from yester-year (eg a previously broken timing belt cover). Great expertise, good communications and a passion for your car even if it’s advancing in years.

This was the first time using Automotive Engineering. Cam belt change, plus 65,000 miles service. Nigel and Sally were fantastic and advised me of future work not urgent and were extremely professional. I would recommend this garage to all. Customer for life here.
