Highlights
“Autobarn Motor Services is the best garage I've found and would happily recommend them to anyone needing work done on their vehicle. Excellent customer service and the work done on my car has always been superb. They offer helpful advice and they keep you informed when they are working on your car. Main dealer quality of attention but without the eye-watering cost.”
“Very friendly garage and made me feel very comfortable. I will definitely use them for all future work. This was the first time I have used AutoBarn for a service (and only once previously for something else). I was asked to bring previous service paperwork so they could advise me on level of service needed. This was discussed with me beforehand so I knew what to expect. I was contacted when car was ready and everything that was done was explained to me when I collected.”

Electrical work in homes in England & Wales should be done by a registered competent person who can self-certify it meets the Part P safety rules. Check they're on the official register.
Check the electrical registerIn England and Wales, notifiable electrical work (new circuits, a consumer unit, anything in a bathroom or kitchen) must by law be signed off under Part P of the Building Regulations. Confirm they will handle that.
Prefer an electrician registered with a government-approved competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA) so they can self-certify the work meets the wiring regulations.
Insist on the Electrical Installation Certificate (or Minor Works Certificate) when the job is done. It is your proof the work is safe and compliant, and you will need it if you ever sell.
