Born professional thieves – I took my car to V8 Garage (Marcin) on Friday 22nd December for a full service and MOT test. The following day Saturday 23rd December, I discovered my sunglasses, my torch light and a bottle of perfume was missing from my glove compartment. I called Marcin and left a voice message – he never called me back. I called him on Sunday 24th December 2023 and managed to speak to him. He told me he was going to check with Andy at the MOT’s Only test centre and get back to me. I never heard back from Marcin. Due to the Christmas break – I went back to his garage on Thursday 28th December to remind him and discussed stolen items from my car. To my surprise he gave me various reasons my item may not be in the car, perhaps I don’t remember where I left them. I told him, I sprayed the perfume on myself on the way to his shop on Friday 22nd December 2023.
Ever since, I have liaised with MOT’s Only, Park Rd (The MOT test centre), and they told me I lost it – Lost 3 items (Sunglasses and case, a bottle of perfume and a torch light) at the same place, same time, and same day.
V8 Garage (Marcin) and MOT’s Only (Andy) are thieves – I would encourage you to stay away from these 2 garages, if you happen to use them, please check your car for theft before making any payment.
Other similar complaining about both garages below by other customers – something is not right with the service they are providing. Trading standard is aware, thieves disguising as Mechanics, eyes are on both businesses.
For a women to get her car fixed isn’t easy as men like to take the mic and think they can mess about as “ we don’t know anything “ . However not with this garage . They took my car in , told me all the bits that was wrong with it , always kept me updated when there was changes in costs or parts . Looked after my vehicle and fixed the main issue straight away . Ever so friendly and polite. I’ve been to a few garages who have messed me about and this garage looked after me properly for once !! I have never been so please with the out come . I 100% recommend thank you so much to Daniel and his brother and a very big thank you to my favourite kacper
Me and my family have been coming to these guys for years. Great mechanic's and trustworthy. Very reasonable prices and honest. Thank you!
They are untrustworthy, and deal fully dugdy. Never rely on their name in the service book if you are going to buy a car. I bought a Mitsubishi colt around 9 months ago which had been "serviced" by these people. The seller was apparently a friend of them and with their partnership, they sold a car that still doesn't work after spending on its fixation as much as it's original value. They also work with the MOT centre nearby and together, steal from people.
I tried so many garages before I finally gave this one a chance. I have now been coming here for many years and the service is amazing. I think this is the friendliest, most honest and helpful garage that I have ever used. Absolutely perfect service every time! Marcin and Daniel are both fantastic and it has been a pleasure to have them look after my vehicles.
Great guys especially dani he is the best mechanic in Southampton
Excellent service! Found V8 via Googling "TIG Southampton"
I had an old alloy wheel, off of a classic 1978 Mini, that had developed a leak in the metal between the rims. The fella that subsequently did some neat TIG welding cut back the area of honeycomb where the porosity was, and put a fillet back in from both sides to effectively bridge the area of the hole/rot. Good value for money.
Nice coffee and a really well set out lounge, deep cockpit leather armchairs and a very professional level of customer care.
Please take into consideration TIG welding is a far more costly (and technically more challenging) process than TIG and it requires better preparation of the work piece, TIG welders are more expensive too! So make sure you are happy with the minimum price for doing any TIG'ing even before an arc is struck.....
Unless your damaged component is inexpensive, repair is usually well worth it: cost up the time and effort to get hold of a new part, its cost, along with the time of refitting it. In my case the cost of another wheel and the fitting valve and balance worked out more than remove tyre, prep & TIG repair the existing rim and refit the tyre.
Very professional great job, highly recommended
