  2. We truly hope that DAKAR CARS are successful again this year in their bid for Garage of the Year status. It comes as no surprise to us that their customers, along with ourselves, have nominated them yet again. We have used the garage for 6 years [originally recommended to us by the RAC] and since then we have always recommend them to everyone we meet. Their service is second to none, a truly polite and friendly atmosphere.

    All members of the staff have a genuine true passion for what they do. It is due to this tireless quest for specialist mechanical known how that helps them to provide a reputable, knowledgeable service to all their customers. They are regulars at Brands Hatch, ensuring that their own hobbies are fulfilled and at all the big shows giving their support.

    Every time you use the garage you are welcomed with a smile from Chris or Tina. They are professional, informative and always accommodating to your cars requirements.
    Refreshments are always on hand if you are waiting for an MOT to be completed or, if you just don’t have the time to spare, they can provide courtesy cars to their customers to ensure that, unlike the main dealer garages, their customers are not inconvenienced and do not need to take time off work in order to have cars serviced, MOT or repaired.

    They also provide a unique billing service where they do not charge the ‘earth’ for parts, cost only, same to the customer as it is to them. You couldn’t ask for more. Labour charges, again they only charge you for how long it takes. If it takes 15 minutes then that is exactly what they bill you for. I honestly don’t know how the main dealers get away with the extortionate prices they repeatedly charge.

    At Dakar they will work diligently to ensure that you are safe, happy with the service that they provide and all work carried out is to their highest calibre. Their professionalism remains consistent to every customer new or long standing. If you are not already a customer of Dakar Cars then I highly recommend that you become one, no other garage can compare.

    Yours sincerely,
    Mr & Mrs Horton

  3. I have used ABP for 25+ years for sevicing on- 240,000 miles from new Toyota Celica, 1971 MG Midget, from new TVR Chimaera 4.5 (after TVR guarantee), purchased a Honda Prelude 2.2 VTEC which is now in France and returned from France for service and tyres on our French registered LHD BMW 318 CI! I would not hesitate to recommend the services provided to anyone with any make/model of vehicle.
    In a word- PROFESSIONAL.

  6. How are these awards fair when you can vote as many times as you like, surely the winner's are the candidates with low sales and lots of spare time!

    All seems very impartial to me!

  7. Hi Rich

    Please note the following:

    * All voting is very closely monitored - we know when mass voting is happening and this will be discounted from the final count
    * All results will be independently verified
    * The overall result will be fair

    Hope that puts your mind at rest! Thanks for raising the query.

    Best wishes, Jim Foster
