“Great service, only ever do what is necessary no unexpected items on invoice. The price you are quote is the price you pay, or even lower and in my case was quoted £95 for a tyre replacement the invoice was for £81.99. The staff are knowledgeable and accommodating.”

“I took my car to do service B which was indicated on the dashboard overdue maybe 5 days when I went to collect the car they delivered it to me with service A 36600 miles overdue which had never appeared. And they told me that they couldn't do the reset and I had to go to Mercedes... So I went to do service B and they gave me with a problem that I've never seen before... I am very disappointed. I am not going there never again. To avoid...”

“Elite Garage - Pulborough - 23/07/2024 MOT booked online which was quick and easy to do and on arrival the car was punctually into the garage for testing and despite failing with a relatively minor fault, a replacement part was sourced locally, fitted and the car retested all within 2 1/2 hours, pretty efficient service I’d say! Thank you Graham & team from a happy customer!”

“I called today in peril, as had a puncture that I wasn't sure would need either a plug, or a new tyre. The guys at Elite were busy, they're always busy, because they are so popular and provide a good service. Anyway, they were able to fit my vehicle in at short notice, and plugged my tyre and made it safe again, and this was for a nominal charge too. Needless to say I was really happy. The guys at Elite are helpful and courteous and very professional. I had my MOT here back in April this year and found the same thing then. I don't just take my car to any garage, but I'd be happy to leave it with Elite anytime!”

“Subject: Hyundai Tucson Repairs Elite Garages On recommendation of my(very safety conscious) father I had fitted 4 new tires by Elite Garages located in Bournemouth. Some months later I heard a metal sound when changing gear and immediately booked it in to Elite to diagnose the fault. Unfortunately for whatever reason they could not find any problem or indeed hear the noise! I picked up my car and soon after the noise developed and my father, as a retired technician himself, took the car to an independent engineer for diagnosis, which turned out to be a defective gearbox. We sourced a secondhand unit to speed the process as I needed the car urgently for my daily nursery run. Elite were contracted to do the replacement along with a new Hyundai supplied clutch. All went well and after a couple of days the repairs were completed, and my car returned. This is when things started to go wrong and after a couple of weeks I lost all control of the gears and had to be recovered back to the garage (Elite) who then diagnosed the gear cables to be defective and needed replacement at a cost of around £500, I agreed these cost and paid on completion. Then a couple of months later and around only 1000 miles since the gearbox replacement I went to visit my sister some round trip of 200 miles and on the return heard a knocking noise from the front and as I was on the motorway and reluctant to stop with my daughter in the car so I continue the short last part of my journey. I stopped at my fathers house and he was horrified to find both front wheels had come loose, and some studs had broken, as the garage was close-by we secured as best and dropped the car at Elite. On inspection they confirmed that both wheels had come loose damaging the wheels and hubs, but immediately concluded this was due to the fact I had not had the wheel nuts retorqued after the repairs were done as indicated on there invoice! This is when my father became involved and fortunately there was in attendance a regional manager (Melvin) at the time and after let's a say technical discussion he agreed to complete the repairs at no cost to me noting this was because I had spent a lot of money with them!!! My father now oversaw the repair and even supplied two replacement wheels at his cost to speed up the repair process so that I could get my car back quickly. He also documented the issue in writing to the then manager Mark which I have transcribed below. Now fast forward six plus months and yet again I hear a knocking noise from the car and booked in with Elite and explained to their new manager the issue with no reference to the past problem as their technicians I presumed would know of the repairs already undertaken. I received a call that all was well on the test and a fastener was tighten and I could collect the car with no cost. I asked my father to collect as I was at work, and he proceeded to Elite and complimented the manager for her great customer service and proceeded to drive the car and to his astonishment yet again the noise was evident and returned immediately to the garage to inform the manager. This is where it gets interesting as the "Technician" involved was called and he declared the car was SAFE and with no noise and stormed off leaving my father a little upset to say the least, however eventually the manager convinced the "technician" to attend a test drive with my father and confirmed the knocking noise himself on return to the garage he pronounced he should take the car to Hyundai as their team wanted no more to do with this car which indicated a lack in their own competence! I await to hear from the management team at Elite Garages 19/06/24 but would advise ladies if you don't have a father like mine steer clear of this particular garage. (Review to be posted) Nadine Knight " Subject: Hyundai Tucson Wheel stud failure Mark Thank you for your time this morning and the confirmation that to your knowledge Elite Garages are not ISO 9001 Quality accredited company. However you did confirm that you have in house facilities to test and certify your calibrated instruments which had been done recently. This would therefore eliminate the prospect of this failure occurring due to an incorrect torque setting being applied to the wheel nuts as long as it was set correctly to the manufacturers specification. As per our conversation and agreed resolution to this potential life threatening event with Melvin your area manager, I will now document in writing what was agreed so that we have no misunderstanding of what needs to be done to rectify the damage that has occurred due to the nuts coming loose after repairs carried out for the replacement of the gearbox on the 14th July 2023. Both front wheel hubs to be replaced with exchange items sourced and inspected by Elite. Both damaged wheels to be replace with inspected undamaged rims or as indicated by the ones removed i.e scuff marks. All studs, wheel nuts and locking nuts to be replaced with new. (if studs are included with sourced hubs this is acceptable on inspection) Inspection of wheel bearings if included with second hand hubs. Wheel balance and aliment on completion of repairs As you are aware when I delivered this my daughter's car to you for the gearbox repair, I emphasised the safety aspect to this vehicle, as it would be transporting my granddaughter as well and did not question the cost and ensured it had new tires supplied recently by your company. Please bear this in mind when dealing with this safety and emotive issue which could have resulted in something much more serious. Paul Knight Letter drafted on behalf of Nadine Knight (car owner) P.s Stud failure due to "side load fatigue facture" resulting from loose wheel nuts”
