"Hi Anthony,
Just thought I’d drop you a line thanking you for fitting me in the other week!
I feel Matthew did an excellent job and the level of service was exceptional. I will certainly recommend your business to my friends and family and will return if and when my car requires additional attention."

"Thank you so much Anthony for being an absolute star in fixing my car! You provided the correct diagnosis (despite the warranty company claiming it was something else at fault) and completed the work to an excellent standard. More touching, is the extra effort you make in supporting your customers. You're a professional who stands out for offering expert advice, providing a quality service at reasonable prices and caring for customer needs. I fully recommend The Workshop to anyone who needs their BMW repairing."

"Anthony is the best in his field and I'm going to buy another BMW just so I can stay with him. In the 2 years I've know him, he's looked after my old BMW 740 beautifully and with an eye on the cost, he's great value for money. I wouldn't take my BMW
anywhere else."

"Have taken my car to Anthony for the past couple of years now and won't go anywhere else. Takes pride in his work and is very trustworthy, all at a very reasonable price. Will remain with The Workshop for as long as I own BMW's and would recommend to any BMW owner!"

"Having run my car for two weeks since you worked on the overheating issue I am pleased to say that having driven over 300 miles in all types of journeys from motorway to town, so far the temperature gauge has remained perfect.
My thanks for sorting this issue for me - my usual garage were talking a new head gasket and massive cost. Obviously your BMW expertise was the key.
I will certainly return with my beloved old BMW when it next needs work."

"The Workshop (Anthony) has turned what could have been a really traumatic experience into a very quick diagnosis of the problem to a speedy repair, when our daughter's BMW 1 Series suffered from a broken timing chain tensioner and engine failure.
We now know of a trustworthy and caring, excellent mechanic who sorted out the car in a matter of days, from recovery truck to a very happy daughter, at a very reasonable cost.
We couldn't thank Anthony enough, especially when we live 1 1/2 hours away from our daughter, studying at University and we will definitely use the Workshop for any future maintenance.
Many thanks."

"I just wanted to thank you for the amazing service I received at The Workshop. When travelling so far away from home, the way you helped me was very memorable.
My car was not able to be driven home, and your fast reaction, amazing service and reasonable price enabled me to do so. I'm not really sure what would have happened if it wasn't for you and your workshop.
I think you should open another workshop in Fleet. We need your service down here!"

"Anthony is a true professional who will provide you with a service that is simply second to none. He assisted me with the purchase of a Mini Cooper by checking the vehicle over and providing his honest opinion.
I would recommend Anthony and the Workshop to any BMW/Mini owner, in return you'll receive a quality service and feel like a valued customer rather than a number.
Finding this level of expertise is a rarity, Anthony provides a dealership standard of quality without the sky high prices.
Leeds needs more people like Anthony! "

"I have been using The Workshop to service my BMW for the last few years. Anthony was recommended to me personally and I would never go back to the larger BMW specialist I used previously. Owning an old M5 can be a daunting proposition (not least when it comes to repair bills) but it's been much more stress-free since I started using Anthony as my mechanic.
Anthony always takes the time to fully understand your requirements while some other garages can make you feel rushed. It's the same thing when it comes to diagnosing problems - he is as obsessive about the cars he works on as his customers are and won't rest until he finds the source of a mystery rattle!
High costs can be a real cause of anxiety when it comes to car repairs. Anthony always explains the different options and costs up front and throughout. He looks for the most cost-effective solution and the bills reflect this. Despite the low bills Anthony doesn't cut corners and I have never had any issue with the quality of his repairs.
Trust is not a word people often use when talking about their mechanic, but The Workshop has earned my trust over the last few years. I'd recommend them to anyone."

"For the first time I've driven away from a garage feeling like I've had a job well completed to a high standard and at a reasonable price.
I have a 10 year-old Mini and Anthony was willing to complete the work at an affordable rate and provide excellent attention to detail.
Anthony is willing to go one step further than other garages even when your car isn't just top of the range.
I'll certainly be recommending him and his services to all my friends with BMW's and Mini's.
Thanks again for great service and experience!"
Sarah, Leeds
"Thank you very much for fixing our BMW within a reasonable cost. You have been able to fix the car when three other mechanics were unable to do so and saved us a lot of stress and worries especially when we are to become parents.
Thank you for being transparent and honest, when a lot of mechanics don't have these qualities."

"We have used Anthony to service and repair our BMWs for many years and would never think of using anyone else.
His knowledge, experience and attention to detail is obvious and he uses these skills in all aspects of his work.....
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Anthony to all BMW LOVERS out there!"

"I have been using The Workshop for over 3 years now, and can honestly say that my ageing 3 series diesel has never run better - and that's with 175k mile on the clock now!
Anthony takes time to explain options thoroughly, and in layman's terms, so you can come to a decision on what needs to be done and when - this is much appreciated.
You get first class work and first class customer service, all at a very reasonable price compared to the dealerships or even other independents.
Highly recommended."

"Absolutely superb technician. Anthony puts customer service above everything else. Very quick to diagnose the fault with my BMW 3 Series compact, could not ask for a better level of service. I'd recommend Anthony and The Workshop without any hesitation whatsoever! "

"In Anthony you will find what you always hoped for in a technician - he is friendly, reliable, efficient and trustworthy.
But most importantly for me he is a good bloke. If you require a premium service and don't want to pay over the odds then look no further."

"I have been a customer of The Workshop for several years and have never had cause to complain.
I have always found them to be reliable, punctual, thorough, efficient and affordable.
As a single woman I have had poor experiences dealing with car repairs in the past. The Worksop has always provided a clear explanation of the problem and I have never received a surprise when the bill arrived.
I couldn't ask for a more professional and friendly service. I cannot recommend them highly enough."

"Both my wife and I have used Mr Anthony Rouse of The Workshop for over the last five years to undertake servicing and maintenance of our 3 series and X5 BMW’s.
The service that we have received from Mr Rouse has been second to none, not only within the motoring sector but in customer relations in general. He has always gone the extra mile to make our servicing and any works undertaken on our vehicles as convenient as possible from picking up and dropping of the car / keys to fit around our busy work commitments, to arranging work to be undertaken at the weekend or holidays when we do not need both cars.
All works required have been discussed in detail to allow a full understanding of what needs to be undertaken, what potentially can wait and where savings can be made by using non manufactures parts or undertaking repairs where the main dealer may simply replace a whole component.
I feel that Workshop offer great value for money and are a company that you can put your trust in, as I feel they definitely have your best interests at the centre of their business."

"As a woman driver and specifically someone who has driven BMW's for over 20 years, I have always had my car serviced by the local BMW dealership. I have paid heavily for this so called privilege. Whereas with the Workshop, I feel totally confident that the only work done on my car is essential. There is no heavy sales talk where you feel under pressure to have extra work done on your car. The price is fair and reasonable and all this comes with the confidence that my car is in excellent hands.
I would recommend the The Workshop to anyone who cares about their car but wants to pay a fair price."

"Anthony has been servicing and repairing our BMWs for a number of years and without question his service is exemplary. He discusses different options for your car and ensures you are aware of the overall cost before agreeing to the work. He is timely, if he says the car will be ready at a certain time, it will be. He is always flexible and will arrange his work around your own work committments. He is approachable, friendly and conscientious and will talk about options for the car. He is also keenly priced.
We feel we are getting a quality service and value for money.
When you collect your car, you always feel you have been treated fairly and responsibly."
