Booking Confirmed by Email—but Not with the Garage

I contacted the Škoda dealership directly, only to discover that they had no record or knowledge of my booking. Thankfully, as I purchased the car from them and have always had it serviced there, they agreed to honour the BookMyGarage price, which was lower than their usual full-service price.

I cannot say for certain where the fault lies, but as the booking broker, BookMyGarage should take responsibility for ensuring that appointments are actually confirmed with the garage—particularly when they send multiple emails assuring customers that everything is booked.

Unfortunately, this experience has left me unable to trust the booking process, so I will not be using BookMyGarage again.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand why this situation would be frustrating.
To provide some context, every booking made through BookMyGarage is sent directly to the garage as soon as it is submitted.
Based on the details you've shared, it appears that your booking may unfortunately have been missed or not processed correctly by the garage. However, we appreciate that as the booking provider, your expectation is that a confirmed booking should be recognised by the garage when you arrive.
We're pleased that the dealership was able to honour the BookMyGarage price and accommodate your service, but we recognise that this does not make up for the inconvenience and uncertainty caused beforehand.
We take feedback like this seriously, as our goal is to provide a seamless booking experience from start to finish.
We're sorry that this experience has affected your confidence in our service, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
We wish you all the best and thank you for having used BookMyGarage.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The most incredible service I…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The most incredible service I have ever received from a garage – Joe at J.A. Motors is absolutely outstanding!

I honestly do not think words can fully express how grateful my husband and I are to Joe at J.A. Motors in Waltham Abbey. What he did for us over the last 48 hours was nothing short of extraordinary, and I can say without hesitation that this was the best experience I have ever had with a mechanic or garage.

A week ago, my Peugeot lease car suddenly lost power on a Sunday afternoon just after coming off the M25 onto the M11 heading towards Harlow. It was a frightening and incredibly stressful experience. The AA recovered me off the motorway, and after three further breakdowns on the way, finally managed to get the car to Vertu Peugeot in Harlow. Because it was a lease car due back in just 10 days, the AA advised leaving it there in case specific Peugeot parts were needed. We posted the keys and the AA’s diagnosis through the letterbox, hoping for the best.

The next day, I contacted the garage and explained the situation and the urgency. I was devastated to be told that they could not book the car in until 17th September. My heart sank. Not only would the car not be ready in time for its return to the lease company (who had already advised us that late return charges would apply for every additional day), but I was also facing the prospect of being without a car for the entire summer holidays and beyond.

As a teacher, the summer break is precious time that I finally get to spend with my children. The thought of having no transport to take them anywhere, combined with the fear that this could be a major engine failure costing thousands of pounds, was overwhelming. My husband and I had been saving for a last-minute family holiday, and I genuinely thought we might have to give it up in order to pay for a huge repair bill on a car we were due to hand back in days. I felt anxious, frustrated, and completely overwhelmed.

For five days the car remained in Harlow. My husband was away with work, and I had no practical way of getting there with the children to recover it. I rang multiple garages, but as soon as I mentioned that the AA suspected an engine fault, most told me they were too busy to take it on.

Then, thankfully, I found J.A. Motors in Upshire Nursery, Waltham Abbey, EN9 3LE

From the moment I spoke to Joe, everything changed.

Joe immediately listened, understood the urgency, and said he would move things around and do everything he could to get my car repaired and back on the road before the lease return deadline. I was grateful, but if I’m honest, I still didn’t think it was possible.

Well… I could not have been more wrong.

After already working a full day, Joe stayed at the garage until 1 o’clock in the morning to juggle his existing workload and fit my car in without letting down his other customers. The next morning he called me with a clear diagnosis, explained exactly what needed to be done, and gave me a price that was exceptionally reasonable compared with the figures I had been seeing online.

He carried out the repairs that same day, then personally took the car on a long test drive to Hertford and back to make absolutely certain the fault had been fully resolved. He also agreed to carry out the MOT, which was due before the car could be returned to the lease company, and completed that quickly and efficiently as part of the same service.

And then came the moment I genuinely could not believe.

By the end of that same day—less than 24 hours after taking the car in—Joe phoned to say the car was fully repaired, tested, MOT’d, and ready for collection. My husband and I picked it up that evening, and it was running perfectly.

Joe provided an exceptional service in an astonishing timeframe. But what impressed me even more than his technical ability was the way he treated me as a person. Throughout the whole process he was professional, honest, warm, friendly, kind, supportive, and genuinely sympathetic to how stressful the situation had become. Nothing was too much trouble. No problem seemed too big for him to solve.

His dedication and commitment went far beyond anything I have ever experienced from any garage. He didn’t just repair a car; he relieved an enormous amount of stress and helped save our family’s summer.

Joe, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for putting yourself out at incredibly short notice, for working into the early hours, for being honest and fair, and for going so far above and beyond to help us meet an impossible deadline.

You are an unbelievable mechanic and a genuinely wonderful person.

I cannot recommend J.A.A Motors highly enough. If you have any problem with your car, this is the garage to go to. We will absolutely be returning in the future, and so will the rest of our family.

Thank you, Joe – you are amazing!
