Superb Service... can't thank or recommend these guys enough. Helped me with a peculiar electrical fault affecting my rear lights. Only popped in on the off-chance they could look at the car within the next week or so and they took the job on immediately, despite having a workshop full of other cars. Excellent job and a company I'll be very happy to use again.

Always very good service at this garage. You have to book in a bit in advance as they are always busy but these guys definitely know their VAG cars.
Took my 22 year old VW here to be fixed after an MOT failure. The garage that failed it said they couldn't fix it because it 'had not got a computer port' DG motors team didn't need a computer to fix it (oil leak from drive shaft and gearbox boot seal). If I ever have a problem again I will go to DG as my first choice.
This garage has been so helpful. My car gearbox broke, and they were able to fit me in and repair it so quickly. Which I am really grateful for. I usually go there to get my A3 serviced. Great service and friendly staff. Would recommend them if you need to have any work done for your Audi.
Quick turnaround for me and my vehicle was throughly checked, I appreciated they took the time to offer their recommendations and explain the reasoning behind their decisions, good and fair price for the work done and very nice people, will definitely return!
My family used this company last November after a minor prang in my brothers mobility car. The service from start to finish was of the highest standard. Highly recommended!

Nearly 50 years in Wellingborough
Dominic and Jenny Gardner started DG Motor Services in 1977, from their garage in Chequers Lane. Their son Toby joined full time in 1998 and their daughter Frankie came in as an apprentice mechanic in 2000.
Dominic trained on Volkswagens at Townsends in Rushden, and in the early 1980s designed the Phoenix Trike around the VW Beetle engine. That VW know-how runs right through the garage today, from old Beetles to the new ID. Buzz.
We've been on Victoria Road since 1985. It's a busy workshop, so it's worth booking a little in advance.
