Origin Automotive Ltd - Durham

Graham looked at my car yesterday and charged a token fee for the labour. Gave me a few options to save me around £1200 and recommended I get the work done elsewhere by a specialist ...when other garages would have just taken the money. Nice guy, takes the time to explain stuff and good at keeping in touch. Saved me a grand too! Will definitely return.

I have used Origin now for over 7 years and I can't recommend a better local car garage than here, no rip offs, no funny business, just a honest and trustworthy staff and every time I book in for my MOT/Service I always receive 10/10 customer service would highly recommend!

Tim Brown

A fantastic level of service and support, knowledgeable friendly, and trustworthy. Just had a turbo and water pump replaced. Great work.

Dave Langlands

Can't recommend enough, managed to fit me in for diagnosis during very busy day then carried out repair at reasonable price a couple of days later. Excellent service

Mohammad Al Ansari

Good garage for car performance modifications and also MOT services. Sometimes electrical work isn't great but staff are very understanding to redo the job. Done Mt mini cooper gearbox/ clutch / flywheel, turbos, intercooler, guys had some issues installing large oil filter and large radiator thoug. Other stuff with intercooler were great

David Winter

Absolutely flawless the guys at origin took care of an clutch issue I had on my fiat van 100% first class service, both on the phone with updates on how the work is going and when I picked my van up it’s as good as new and how it should be , and very reasonable priced as well I can’t recommend this place enough

The best level of service I have ever had from a garage. I had travelled to Durham from Oxford when my car had an emissions valve related issue. The RAC recommended Graham at Origin and the service was simply excellent. I needed to get back for an important family matter and they did everything to ensure that things were done quickly and all was fixed. They even sent me a message asking if I got back ok and provided some info for my local garage.

Broke down on the A690 with the wife and kids in the van heading on holiday. Managed to limp to this garage, and I am SO glad I did.

Graham and the team dropped everything to help and speed me on my way and I am so very grateful; they saved my holiday and I was back on the road within two hours.

I observed a team of professionals execute their craft in fantastic fashion, but more than this -> a diligent, compassionate and trustworthy team. Garages like this are few in number and must be treasured.
