Richard was professional, friendly and kept me fully informed throughout the process. My car was returned in great condition, the work was completed quickly and to a high standard. Highly recommended!Posted on Ian MeadowsMarch 27, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used RDG (Richard) for over 10 years, and he maintains, services and MOT’s 3 cars for us. I highly recommend RDG if you are seeking a reliable, honest mechanic. He picks up and drops the vehicles from home, and I’ve never had any issues with his work. Our cars are super reliable and in great mechanical condition, and that is very much thanks to RDG!Posted on Candice CroftMarch 27, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

There are no words significant enough to express how grateful I am to have found RDG Automotive. In a world where household name garages take advantage of your lack of motor-knowledge and overcharge you, Richard (RDG owner) is a god-send. Richard gave me reassurance over the phone, called me back within 30 minutes with a quote, worked with my budget and gave me different options (trade parts vs official parts). He then came to my home to pick up my car and dropped it off the same day. If you want an HONEST, FAIR and DECENT mechanic, book with RDG. As long as I own a car, RDG have a customer TYPosted on Christopher (Brightside83)April 5, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Superb! Richard visited me at home when my car was in need of some tlc after being off the road for a number of years. Genuinely nice guy, outgoing and very helpful. Hugely appreciated!
