- Having recently taken my car in for Bosch diagnostics I can only give them the highest praise. Nothing is too much trouble and Adrian Thompson will look after you really well. Spot on and 5 stars.
brabbysmarty10/22/2018 - Took our 1973 T2 into them running like a bag of nails and got it back running like a sewing machine. And the bill was very sensible too!Jerry Saunders8/13/2022I called up Monnington Motors out of the blue and asked them to check out a car I was hoping to buy. I dealt with Adrian who couldn’t have been more helpful. If I could give 10 stars I would. He arranged the whole thing super promptly, gave comprehensive account of his investigation and then was extremely on top of following up. He also charged a reasonable fee for his time. Strongly recommended.Simon Galbraith7/24/2019
- My wife and I have been using Monnington Motors regularly since the Audi garage in Newton Abbot closed down. To be honest if I had known about them before I would have used them instead of the main dealers.
I have an Audi 3.2 V6 Sport Quattro which I have taken very good care of for years. I have often thought of changing however nothing comes close for performance and comfort at the price. Up until recently it has performed exceptionally well, however I started to have a vibration coming through the car about 12 months ago, and we could not track it down. At a recent MOT the garage said that even though it passed the MOT it needed sorting. Initial inspections drew a blank so Adrian at Monnington suggested we tackled it in stages if only to rule out certain possibilities. The blogs and car forums did not have the answer so we were really looking for clues, and it could have become expensive. Very soon after taking the front assembly apart, the mechanics thought they had the answer. They did. They changed both CV joints to both front driveshafts, put it all back together, fitted a new set of tyres (Conti Sport 5). Perfect. It now handles like a new car! Thank you Adrian and your team of mechanics. You kept me informed from beginning to end and nothing was left to chance. The result is amazing.Arthur Tatchell1/31/2017Nice guys Always being greeted with a great smile, I must admit, the Monnington bros. have earned their place as one of the best in the area. Absolutely professional, super service, super people.davidfordham9/09/2014Fantastic Service Amazing service from all at Monnington Motors – they listened and gave me confidence that they would sort the problem on my Caddy . The problem was not easy to find but they found it and fixed it in a timely fashion and were great at keeping me informed. Great personal and professional service. Thank you. I will be using you for all services from now on.Juanita Jones9/14/2022 - Adrian and the Monnington’s team are fantastic. Adrian went above and beyond to communicate and help every step of the way, which really helped me to feel that my car was in the right hands. They tried to do the job as quickly as physically possible, and I was also offered a courtesy car. Once the part arrived, I was called the same day to say it was ready. They are knowledgable, friendly, professional, reasonable and amiable, hence the 5 stars! It was also great to find a garage that specialise in BMW, Mercedes, Audi (to name a few). I would definitely reccommend. My sincere gratitude to Adrian and his team for the wonderful customer care!
Laura Jane8/17/2022You know when everything goes right? And you know you’re in safe hands? Well, Monnington’s is that. Andy & Adrian were the best. Calm, confident & knowledgeable. My golf mk4 had 2 static faults that I couldn’t fix. Bish bash bosh they knew the problem & fixed it. Cost? Extremely reasonable! We’re all warry of being ripped of by a garage. Don’t be with these guys. They even did an little extra as 2 N95 tubes were a bit off. Sorted! Will I be back. Definitely. My Golfie is in safe hands. Thanks Adrian and Andy.Jason Blatch2/13/2022 - I don’t usually write reviews but felt Monnington Motors deserve a mention. I was working in the area and I needed a service on my Audi as soon as possible as I do alot of driving with my job. I googled companies and came across Monnington Motors. I spoke to Adrian and he said it was no problem, he got my car booked in the next day. Steve was very helpful on the day, the work was done for a very reasonable price and my car washed. Being a lady on my own I often worry about ‘being taken for a ride’ but I needn’t have worried, the staff are genuine and honest. I would have no problem recommending this garage to anyone.Sue Cook2/20/2020Took our T4 to Adrian at Monnington Motors and feel we have to leave a review. The standard of service we received from the guys, Adrian and Darren, were second to none. They went out of their way to communicate with us, explained everything and took their time with our pride and joy. We will definitely use them again, not only for our t4 but Golf and daughters car too and have told our friends and family how great they were. Simply can’t recommend them highly enough. Roger and JoJo Hardwick9/07/2019
- Used Monnington as was on holiday in Teignmouth and the van was playing up. Monnington was extremely helpful and efficient and repaired the van to get it road worthy to get us home to Buckinghamshire.Laura Summers8/16/2022A big “Thank You“ to Monnington Motors for fixing our car immediately ang highly professional. We are now able to catch our Ferry back to Germany! Great Service & great Manners….Hugo & SuzanneSusanne Rose-Pascal2/13/2020I have used these guys many times over the years and have always been very impressed. They are still my go-to Audi Independent despite the fact that I now live about 100 miles away. Most recently they did my timing belt, and fixed a couple of other issues that they found while they were in there. As always, Adrian was a pleasure to deal with and updated me whenever needed. In the past they found and fixed a front-end clunk on my Audi 80 that had defeated me (20 years DIY spannering), my nearest Independent (who is very good), and the local Audi Dealership before they got their hands on it. If only I’d gone there first… Good mechanics, fair pricing and a pleasure to deal with. Use them.mcnile9/13/2022
- Absolutely fantastic customer service. I came to them with a mystery trouble other garages couldn’t suss. Problem diagnosed and fixed within 24 hours. Can’t fault the service I received. Very professional and efficient, highly recommended !Rhia Fowden1/04/2019Awesome Team Got a slot for an mot on my L200 which was done within the hour. Unfortunately it failed and needed brakes, Adrian was so helpful fitting the car in to an already packed diary. The car was ready the following day. 5 star service from Adrian and the team at Monnington! Thank you.Sarah Warne10/02/2021

- Incredible service from Monnington Motors. Cannot thank Adrian and his team enough enough for their help with repairing my car and dealing with my car’s warranty provider. I know it wasn’t easy but pulled out all the stops and I am pleased.Patrik Nicholls1/31/2022James Aldred11/13/2022I took a van that I was thinking about buying to Monington motors to have them check it over first. Adrian did not hang around getting me in fast and was so genuine in his deportment. Mark was also very kind, and had very good attention to detail and their experience in motors really shows. This is not your typical garage; it is very professional, very clean and COVID rules are taken seriously.
Jack Outterside1/14/2021 - Adrian and the team are great. Always helpful. Repaired my car at short notice as we were going away. Cant thank them enough.Joint Dymott2/13/2022Outstanding service. Fit me in last minute when no other garages could, worked around my work timing and all the work done for a very reasonable price. Would definitely use them again.Jack P9/13/2022Outstanding Service – I broke down yesterday on my way to Family Funeral – phoned Monnington excellent advice given and made to the funeral. This morning I dropped my car off before opening time to a really friendly Adrian. Who phoned me throughout the day with information and had a new injection valve fitted by 3:30. Couldn’t ask for more:-)Rachel Dempsey9/05/2019

Adam Brown11/23/2018 - I recently had my audi convertible roof fixed with you guy’s. And what brilliant help, advice and same day service I received, I must comment on Adrian Thomson who couldn’t do enough for me, he even came to pick me up after work complete.

- Monnington Motors were fantastic! We were on holiday in Devon and had driven from Denmark in our car when the battery died and the handle to the bonnet broke. Monnington Motors were extremely friendly and service minded. They fitted us in despite their busy schedule. They ordered the needed spare parts and changed the battery within 1,5 day and did an additional oil check and filled up with washer fluid and all for a very reasonable price. All in all great service.Emily Jane Thomsen7/28/2023Adrian is really helpful and gives good advice. Good service and fair prices.Andy Braund10/13/2020It is a bit tucked away and not on a bus route. But this is the only negative comment I can make and i have since discovered that they are very generous with courtesy cars. I have a 20 year old BMW which is my pride and joy. My wife has booked a place in the Valley of the Kings for me and the car to be buried. Not in the near future of course. It has done 205K miles, with the normal replacements but absolutely nothing major. Fantastic car (530D) The “fan” belt broke and it was towed to Monington Motors. We stay in Newton Abbot frequently but have not needed a garage. I am very fussy who works on this car and I can honestly say that I was very impressed with the garage team and the quality and speed of the work that was carried out. I would consider scheduling trips to Newton Abbot to coincide with servicing intervals. Very confident in their work. Like I have said I am very fussy who works on this car and I was absolutely confident. Thank you Adrian and team. LawrenceLawrence Patrick2/13/2020
- Friendly, efficient and great value for money. Really happy with the service they did on my wife’s BMW 4 series. Would have no hesitation taking our other vehicles here for service or repair. Thanks Adrian.Richard Fearn2/13/2019Took my newly purchased Lexus GS300 to the dealership to have some issues diagnosed. They quoted £1,400 to have brake and suspension issues fixed. One phonecall to Monnington Motors and they booked me in within 24 hours. £244 later and all issues fixed (and tested by myself) with a courteous and polite service I can safely say this is the best independent garage I have visited. Outstanding, cheap, exceptional service despite having over 40 cars in on the day, they got my car back to me within 24 hours. Highly recommended.A T1/31/2014
- Excellent service 👏 I was very impressed with there Customer service , after 3 months backwards and forwards to a main dealer. I was recommended by a friend.
All my cars problems were sorted, I was kept up to date with progress, of fault finding. Not all garages do this!
Monnington’s staff ( Technicians & Management) were very thorough.
Saving me a fortune, compared to a main dealer prices.
I would highly recommend this Garage, I will be using them from now on.
Also a Special thank you to Techinicans,
Andy & Adrian. There work & customer service second to none.
Keith, volkswaggon CC.Keith Andrews4/02/2022Amazing work from Monnington Motors. They managed to fit me at very short notice and did a great job installing the Dashcam in my Audi. Adrian was always giving me updates about how the work was progressing and even found a way for me to could collect my car after hours. Definitely recommend!A. Pedro Carvalho8/13/2022Absolutely fantastic service! would highly recommend. Took my sons car down from Exeter and was given a loan car. Adrian called me through out the day keeping me updated on what was going on. Car was ready to collect at the end of the day and cost less than we first thought, Thankyou.Andy Rawlings2/13/2019
