    Returned to this garage after using main dealer through warranty period. Still very professional and polite. A slick operation keeping you informed of progress with your car. Husband and late father have also used Gent’s for many satisfactory years. Would certainly recommend Gent’s.

    Following a breakdown due to a broken clutch I had my car recovered to Gents Garage. The fault was diagnosed and fixed promptly and professionally. The communication and level of service was fantastic. Richard and Chris kept me updated at all times and explained my options without bias. I would definitely recommend them and will be returning.

    First time using Gents and I will definitely use them again in the future. Took my 2016 Mercedes c300 in for a full service as it hadn’t been serviced for a while. The technicians thoroughly inspected the vehicle and found a few areas that needed rectifying. They sent a detailed report and even took photos to show me some of the defects. Very honest, thorough and friendly staff. These are... Read More

    I used Gents garage in recent times for what turned out to be suspected oil cooler failure on my 2013 Mercedes E350. Mercedes wanted a small fortune but as I had my car serviced previously and heard many good reviews I opted for the work to be done at Gents. They did it 'by the book', quite literally as per Mercedes guidance and doing the necessary checks on the cylinder linings etc. This work... Read More

    My first visit to Gents garage on the 6th Nov 24 was nothing short of excellence in customer satisfaction. When I arrived it was clear to the reception staff that I was in need of a job done quickly so I could return to work. Being that it was a relatively small job of replacing a fuel filter, they freed up space and cracked on straight away with the task, even though they had higher priority... Read More

    I recently took my motor home into Gents Garage. There was a lot of welding needed underneath at the front. I was kept informed at all stages of the work. The work has been done to a very high standard and at a very reasonable price. I will certainly use them again for my motor home and my car. Lovely helpful people to deal with. Thank you.

  • Marc Davies

    I can't recommend Gent's Garage in Sittingbourne highly enough! Max, the mechanic, is exceptionally knowledgeable and went above and beyond to diagnose an issue that had been causing multiple warning lights on my car. While another mechanic suggested replacing multiple parts at a significant cost, Max quickly identified that the problem was simply due to low voltage affecting the electrical... Read More

    Excellent service. Rang for prices and some advice on buying a 5 series I was going to look at and was given all the info and help I needed to help me make my purchase, even checked the service records for me using the vin No: when I got to look at the car.
    Thank you very much for your time.
    The car will be coming your way in the future when the service is due.

    On holiday from Manchester when the engine management warning light came on our vehicle.
    Chose this garage as nearest to where we were staying and what a lucky find.
    Chris immediately advised us to take the car to him, he undertook a diagnostic check and as he wasn't able to assist in the repair he contacted other garages to help us get back on the road to enjoy the remainder of... Read More

    I highly recommend this garage. I have been using for many many years. Costumer service is amazing, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Work on car is quick and reasonably priced.

  • Alise Ohohonina

    19th March 2024

    Always had a great service from this garage. Receptionist is very friendly, informative and punctual.
    Never push you to fix certain issues unlike other garages as long as within reason not to be fixed (major issues etc)
    Can be on the pricey side, but well worth it for the service they provide.

Comprehensive Brake Check

If you’re serious about keeping you and your family safe, and you’re tired of expensive braking issues, a comprehensive brake check in Sittingbourne is the way to go.

It’s about peace of mind. It’s about knowing you’ve taken all safety precautions. And, it’s about a much happier wallet.

What’s involved in a comprehensive brake check?

01

We check the performance of all your brakes and the brake balance on our rolling road.

02

Next, we check and adjust how the handbrake operates to ensure there’s no room for error.

03

Front brake pads are checked for serviceability, then stripped and refit, if necessary. As with any checks, we’ll consult you before performing any additional repairs.

04

We’ll measure your front brake discs for how they perform, including run out. Then, we perform the exact same checks on your rear brakes.

05

After your brake discs and pads are confirmed as being efficient, we’ll test your brake fluid and top it up where required.

06

Your brake callipers and wheel cylinders are then inspected for serviceability.

07

And, the condition of all brake hoses and hydraulic lines are checked too.

08

Finally, we’ll carry out a diagnostic scan of the ABS and traction control system for any historic or current fault code.
