What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Vehicle electrical diagnostics and repair work, alongside general mechanical servicing, recurs throughout the feedback for this Sunderland-based operation. Various customers describe having electrical faults traced on cars such as a VW Tiguan, where a scan identified a problem with the Haldex four-wheel-drive control unit; the part was removed, sent for refurbishment and refitted within the same week, with the customer noting that the refurbished component carried a lifetime warranty and cost considerably less than a new dealer part.

Another frequent theme is the quick turnaround on jobs, with clutch replacements, blower motor repairs, air conditioning re-gassing and dashcam hardwiring all reported as being completed within a day or so of booking. A number of reviews mention fair and transparent pricing, with costs explained upfront and minor faults charged accordingly rather than inflated. Marcus and Kasey are both named for their friendly, honest approach, keeping customers informed during diagnosis and refusing to give up on stubborn faults. Trustworthiness stands out, with several accounts describing the team as straightforward and easy to deal with, and customers returning for further work or passing on the recommendation to others.

Would highly recommend Marcus to everyone. I had an electrical issue with my car and had a few people trying to fix it because I was so frightened to take it to an auto electrician as people said they always cost a fortune and rip you off. Going to Marcus has totally changed my mind and I can guarantee this is not the case. This man worked hours and I mean hours and he refused to give up ( I must admit I was getting very nervous as the hours/days/weeks passed. Thinking how much is the bill going to be . He worked until midnight one day, bought a whole new diagnostic machine. He spoke to people in France but finally he had to give up. He literally did the upmost to get my car running and I could tell he was genuinely disappointed that he couldn’t. I asked for the final bill expecting it to be huge but he charged me way and I mean way less than the weeks he had spent on it. Thanks so much Marcus I really appreciate everything you did.

Took my car here after not being able to diagnose the problem. Car sorted that same day. Phone call before any work was done and very reasonably priced

I had an electrical issue on my VW Tiguan, all sorts of alarms pinging up intermittently. Marcus did a scan and diagnosed a problem with the "black box" attached to the Haldex 4WD system. The part was removed on the Monday, sent away for a refurbish (with a lifetime warranty) and refitted on the Wednesday. These guys literally perform miracles!!! The refurbishment cost a touch over £400.... But a new part from a dealer would have cost £1200. A no-brainer really, considering a lifetime warranty was given on the repaired part. Marcus also serviced the car and arranged the MOT. I will certainly use these guys again, and have no hesitation at all in recommending them. Absolute stars, who saved the day so close to the Easter holidays. Thanks so much again for your help.

Wouldn't go anywhere else. Had cars in garage where they couldn't find my issue. Yet my car was rattling. Was reccomended this garage and not only was the price fair. But they found the issue straight away. So now my car will only go to this garage. Friendly lads that aren't just mechanics but car enthusiasts too. Thanks Kasey xx

Blower motor wasnt working in car, was recommended to go to Sunderland Auto Electrics and I must say I would recommend others to go if you have electrical problem. Problem with blower motor was diagnosed fast, (im electrician so had already fault found it but they confirmed it so I know they are legit) Work carried out quickly at a fair price, blower motor priced up myself was 190 quid, they charged 230 quid that included labour which I think is a very fair price. Car was booked in, car dropped off and back in a couple of hours. 5 star service happy with the repair great auto electrics garage would recommend and will be back if I have other faults I dont fancy tackling myself.
