Friendly and very reasonably priced

It's rare to find a garage that treats men and women equally which, is one reason, why I would highly recommend STL. They are very reasonably priced, they offer a great service, good advice. I don't live in Leicester anymore and, this is the only garage I now use for my MOT, Service and any issues with my car. I'm so glad they were recommended to me over three years ago.

Absolutely Amazing friendly and professional.

Absolutely Amazing friendly professional staff and great Quality Service to get my tyres done.

The manager Steve is old school and provides a happy friendly chat on the phone whilst booking me in for my tyres and even at the centre too. Matt was a great member of staff who changed the tyres over to reinforced tyres (as there brilliant for bad pot holes to still not pop easily like non reinforced tyres).

I even witnessed a young lady come to bring her newly bought car from Birmingham two weeks ago and Steve said very calmly and reassuringly "I'll get one of my mechanics to have a FREE inspection" (who does that nowadays for free!?) The mechanic came back and said the gear box had gone.

Steve then stated to the young lady "under the consumer rights act, you can legally return the car to the Birmingham dealer for a full refund". I was very impressed with Steve's knowledge of the law and didn't charge the young lady a single penny. She was ever so thankful for Steve's help and his staff.

I just wish more businesses were like Steve's STL service centre as it makes the whole process, problem & hassle free and as a customer, makes you feel that you're in safe hands ✌️👍 😊

I would highly recommend STL for tyres, service, MOT and free inspection if you think your vehicle has an issue.

Thanks again Steve, keep up the good work.

Best garage in town

Nothing to complain about this garage . Service and standards are excellent. I have been using them if I'm not wrong for the last 10 years . Always straight forward with the best prices that you can find out there . Kind of guys that will never give up until they will not solve your problems. I will definitely recommend with confidence . My next booking is next week. 😁😁😁 . Few things that they did for me and my cars untill naw are servicings, MOT, health checks , tyres . Engine manifold problems, shock absorbents, brakes and much more .

Highly recommend

Sept 2024, Had my MOT and Full serclvice, great customer service and great value as always. With the car getting on in age, as usual, there is more work that needs doing. Research done myself beforehand (Catalytic converter problems) before getting it sorted by my favourite team of Mechanics. Massive thanks again STL for sorting it all out at a fab price.

Used this service few years back…

Used this service few years back anywhere they insisted my gear box needs changing at 40k! I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it but ai trusted them as professionals. However now looking into it gearboxes should pst up to 120 k.

They charged me £1100 for a a new gear box, then admitted it was used.

Now 2 years later the gear box is gone and not working at all- I am left without transport I have to still pay for in a loan!!! Awful lying service who will fill if any woman they can lie to and rip off.
I was a student and the owner still don’t have any humanity or empathy to take so much money for a job that was not needed.

I can not express my desires this place hs caused me, even few years later I decided to never go back- they still have managed to hurt me financially and mentally..
Inhuman/ evil and fraud service owner to take everything they can from you, using that trust customer has in them!!!!!!!

Brilliant garage

I have used STL for 12 years. I simply won't go elsewhere. They are honest, never do unnecessary work and bend over backwards to help.

Give Steve a call, A***

STL Service Centre 100% Recommended

I have used STL Service Centre for a few years and wouldn't go anywhere else. The professionalism, customer care and service they provide is second to none. The work which is carried out is to the highest standard and always carried out efficiently. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I would recommend STL Service Centre to anyone.

The best garage we’ve ever had the pleasure of using!

We have been using STL for years now for both of our vehicles. Steve and his team always offer the most outstanding service, as a female, relatively new driver, I’ve previously been concerned about getting ripped off, not now, I know every time the job will be done impeccably, and for a reasonable price, in fact usually we are left paying much less than we expected. I recommend them to everyone, if you need a garage you can rely on, this is the place!

Cowboys Avoid STL garage

One word Cowboys. AVOID THIS GARAGE YOU WONT GET YOUR CAR BACK THE WAY U LEFT IT, THERE WILL BE MORE DAMAGE. STL GARAGE IS NOT PROFESSIONAL. THEY MESSED MY 16,000 CAR SEATS UP BECAUSE THEY SAT ON THE CAR SEATS WITH DIRTY OVERALLS. THEY TURNED MY SEATS BLACK AND HAD DIRTY HAND PRINTS ON MY SEATS. THEY DON'T TAKE CARE WITH THERE WORK. I WAS HORRIFIRD AND SHOCKED WHAT DAMAGE THIS CAR GARAGE CAUSED. THEY REPLACED MY WATER COOLET AND DIDN'T PUT WATER IN THE COOLET. WHAT WAS THEY THINKING. IF I DIDN'T CHECK MYSELF MY ENGINE WOULD OF BLEW UP. THEY DONT LOOK AFTER THERE CUSTOMERS. JUST THEIR POCKETS. I WONT NEVER GO THERE OR RECOMMEND THIS GARAGE. VERY DOGGY WORK.

I have been a regular customer with STL…

I have been a regular customer with STL for over 5 years. Price and service is always competitive and fair! Also they are a very friendly team who always strive to do their very best by their customers! I wouldn’t go to any other garage personally as I know I always get value for money and an expert service! Thanks to Steve and the team 👏

A garage I can finally trust

A garage I can finally trust. Garages can be a nightmare, not this one. They will make it easy for you, if there’s any issues with your vehicle they will show you and talk you through it. I absolutely recommend these to anyone. I noticed some feedback complaining about a £40 per hour labour bill, I’m a Gas Engineer and charge £60 per hour and a mere £40 per hour in this garage is a bargain and NOT a rip off!
STL Service Centre get 10/10 from me! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

A Beacon of Trust: My Experience with STL Service

When it comes to car services, it can be difficult to find a garage that strikes the perfect balance between efficiency, quality, and honesty. I am thrilled to report that I have found exactly that in STL Service. This exceptional garage has revitalised my trust in the field of car mechanics, earning my absolute recommendation and repeat business.

In every service they have provided, from routine maintenance checks to MOTs and intricate repairs, STL Service has consistently impressed with their unwavering commitment to excellence. This garage's proficiency is matched only by the amiable nature of its staff, making every interaction a genuine pleasure.

One recent instance that illustrates their extraordinary service involved the repair of my car's air blower. The team at STL Service not only completed the task but did so in an impressively short span of time. Their ability to deliver prompt, high-quality service is a testament to their deep-seated professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction.

It is therefore without hesitation that I proclaim STL Service as my go-to garage for all future needs. Their remarkable services and courteous staff have completely won me over. This, I believe, is the result of their unwavering commitment to their craft and a sincere understanding of customer service.

In conclusion, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the team at STL Service. Keep up the great work, guys! Your exceptional service is undoubtedly adding to the satisfaction of many car owners, including myself, the owner of the Black Skoda Superb 2, license plate FD62... Now Superb 3 WM65...

So, to anyone in need of car services, give STL Service a try. I guarantee you'll be as delighted and assured as I am. After all, there's nothing more comforting than knowing your car is in capable and trustworthy hands.

Price quoted (and noted by me on their makeshift diary) almost doubled by time car collection after shoddy replacement of springs and discs left car with a rattling noise that staff / manager at first pretended not to hear - then claimed it was pre existing. They ganged up mob handed in office when I stood my ground to only pay the quoted price - they refused to surrender my keys until I paid the 190% extra bill - they "lost original diary endorsed ledger". Have reported them to Trading Standards and paid extra at another Garage to mend their shoddy work.
