Customer Reviews

Real feedback from drivers who trust us with their vehicles

Engine warning light came on during my commute. Called Hihisu and they fitted me in same day. Turned out to be a faulty oxygen sensor. Fixed within three hours, including the diagnostic check. I appreciated the quick turnaround because I need my car for work daily.

Good service overall. The suspension repair sorted out the knocking noise I had. Took slightly longer than estimated – was told two days but ended up being three because a part needed ordering. Would have appreciated better communication about the delay.

My Audi A4 failed its MOT at another garage with a list of issues. Hihisu provided a second opinion and a detailed quote. They completed the exhaust repair, replaced two tyres, and fixed the headlight alignment for £340 less than the first quote. Passed the retest without problems. The technician walked me through each repair before starting work.

Reasonable price for the oil change and filter replacement. The work was done properly. However, the waiting area could be more comfortable, and I wasn't offered a courtesy car even though my service took most of the day. Met expectations but nothing exceptional.

The air conditioning stopped working in July. Hihisu recharged the system and found a small leak in one of the hoses. They replaced the damaged hose and refilled the refrigerant. The AC now blows cold air again. Cost £185 including parts and labour.

Brought my Ford Focus in for its annual service. The mechanics are clearly experienced – they spotted a developing issue with the alternator belt before it became a problem. Replaced it during the service. The only reason for four stars instead of five is that the invoice could be more detailed. Otherwise, solid work at a fair price of £145 for the full service.

Clutch replacement on my VW Golf. The old clutch was slipping badly. New clutch fitted with a six-month warranty on parts and labour. The gear changes are smooth now and the biting point is consistent. Completed in one day as promised.

I've been using Hihisu for the past two years for all maintenance on my Vauxhall Corsa. They keep records of all previous work, send reminders when the next service is due, and always explain what needs doing and why. The pricing is transparent – they provide itemised quotes before any work starts. It's reassuring to have a garage I can rely on.
