November 12, 2022I would recommend Motts to anyone who wants a company that gives superb customer service and first repairs. They were recommended for work on my motorhome by Colchester Caravan services and very glad I took their advice.

Wow, just wow. Motts Body Repair are clearly expert at body repairs - my repaired bumper looks fab. AND it's the service and support from Sue, Paul and ALL the Team that is really stand-out. They agree what they will do, and they do it - brilliantly. Also, had a tricky payment issue with a third party - the Motts Team even chased up on my behalf, which really is above and beyond. Highly Recommend Motts - they are my 'go-to' for car repairs 👍🏽

November 12, 2022Yet again amazing service. This is the second time I’ve asked for help with my 3.5 Tonne Horsebox and they have sorted the problem immediately. Even got a cup of tea while I waited! Highly recommend!!

September 12, 2022What can I say, well from the off with a full survey, valuation, estimate and work carried out was top notch from the start. I could be happier with the service and manner the car was dealt with. Thanks to Shaun and the team..

Two major defects on 2 cars - one a headlight problem one a ‘suspension rattle’ turned out to be a simple bulb replacement and the other a £600 repair diagnosed by a specialist was just a loose heatshield fixed for £50…. Trusted garage and will get all my business!

Utterly fantastic service. Paul fitted me in at short notice and managed to get my car back to me earlier than expected (and in much better condition than when I brought it in!) Helpful, friendly, professional, polite and efficient- I couldn’t have asked for a better service. I am so pleased with the results of my car and the speed in which it was done. Unfortunately I am prone to bumping and scraping my car but I’m pleased to have at last found a repair shop that does the work well and at a fair price. I would not hesitate to use them again!
Luisa Yeates
July 12, 2022Enquired regarding an urgent rear bumper repair/re-spray on my Focus - Within 48hrs of requesting a quote; Paul had contacted me, got the car booked in the next day, had the work carried out - to a high standard I may add AND had the car cleaned and delivered back to my workplace. All for a very reasonable price too. Having worked in the motor trade myself for the past 13 years in various garages etc I can safely say it’s refreshing to receive such honest, efficient workmanship and professionalism from a local business. Recommend Motts bodyshop highly and will certainly use again if required. Cheers! 👍

I popped in after having some concerns with my car, after a test drive Motts found nothing wrong with the vehicle, but did mention about my adaptive cruise control. They were able to point me in the direction of another garage, who have been just as accommodating and friendly. Cannot fault Motts and their genuine, happy to help service. Thank you.
Harriet Amy
December 12, 2021Unfortunately I needed body repairs to my car and after looking around I decided to try Motts. They did a fantastic job, really professional and were really friendly and helpful. Paul spoke about my cars for a little while which gave me confidence that I'd chosen the right place to send my car and the job they did was superb. The website is excellent with many fine examples of the the work they have done - I highly recommend them.
Michael Stretton
December 12, 2021Ok ,where do I start, my triumph stag went in for what I thought was just to put new wheel arches on, however it turned out to be a lot more involved than I thought, to say there was a lot of holes rust,would be an understatement, the car was at mottos garage for about two years , mainly due to the amount of work needed and of course COVID. The work carried out was extensive,lots of panels needed replacing and a lot of welding,all through the process I was kept informed and had regular updates. As you can see from the photos the car has turned out brilliant and I am so happy with the end result. I would at the drop of a hat recommend motts garage to anyone, the service was excellent throughout,well done and thankyou to all involved, a very satisfied customer pm Sutton.

Janet Morgan
December 12, 2021A spectacular service was provided by the team at Mott's body repair from beginning to end. They were communicative, responsive and thoughtful. The repair job could have been hugely inflated and these guys proved themselves trustworthy and diligent. The end result is superb and I am astonished at how efficiently they turned the car around. The vehicle is a Porsche 911 Turbo S and three panels were scraped. The team also had the wheels refurbished and put back on the vehicle and tightened to the required 600 N-m (that's tight!) without fuss. In short: use these people and listen to their advice, They even gave me (unexpectedly) a replacement car while mine was being worked on - the battery went flat on it and they drove out to collect it themselves, Never a word of complaint. This is rare service in this day and age.
Ben Green
December 12, 2021Definitely recommend! After being quoted almost 4 times as much somewhere else as I was here, i was relieved to have found them. The whole team were professional and genuine and my car looks good as new. From the first phone call made to them to picking up my car, amazing service.
Sophie Wicks
December 12, 2021Cannot recommend these guys enough!! Absolutely brilliant service in every way! Very very pleased with the work they done on my car! You would never even know I done any damage. I won't even consider going to anyone else when I next drive into my own fence!! Highly recommend! Thank you guys! x
