I needed an emergency MOT done and Paul was very helpful and moved jobs around to fit me in the same afternoon. I would highly recommend.

We had an interim service on our Audi A3, very pleased with punctuality and communication. They also showed us a blocked filter which AUDI supposedly changed on its last service at Cribbs Causeway dealership, obviously didn't.
Reccomend JP Auto Solutions.

I've used JP Auto Solutions several times. I would like to highly recommend them. My old Mum recommended them to me! I have found their mechanical workmanship to be first rate, service is always friendly & cheerful. Best of all the bill is usually well within my budget.
