I've taken my car to Steins twice now, for its yearly MOT and some work on it. My car is really old and beaten up, and in the past I've had garages charge for a lot of unnecessary work to be done on it, so I was wary when I moved to Edinburgh and needed to find another garage. Steins was recommended to me for being trustworthy, and they have really proven that to me in the work they do. Always honest and unfront, but also really reasonably priced for what they do too. They work really quick, and I would not trust anyone else to fix my car now! Highly recommend! More...

Trustworthy, very reasonable prices, good work. If there was a mark-up on parts it must have been small.-----Only picked them for MOT because they were near my wife's work. Good MOT price. MOT failed, which we were expecting. Brake pads, possibly the calipers (would need checking during pad change), loose exhaust, hasn't had a service for over 20k miles.... A few other bits and bobs. Took their time to explain it to my wife in reasonably plain English (neither of us understand the jargon!)We braced for a painful price, and were pleasantly surprised. They seem pretty honest here; when they checked the calipers - having already been told we would pay for replacement - the mechanic found that they were perfectly fine and therefore saved us some money. We'd have been none the wiser if they decided to change them anyway for a wee bit extra.Feels like a different car now, and they had it all done in a few hours.Very happy, will certainly be keeping them in mind for future work.

There is probably not much left to be said about Craig and his garage, but as I was only able to find it thanks to other people's reviews in Google and he always did an outstanding job, so I will do my bit. I was a customer of Craig for about 2 years first with a Vauxhall Vectra and then a Chevrolet Cruze, since I found his garage until I moved away this summer, and would still be a customer if I were there.Steins Garage is the best garage I have seen in Edinburgh by far. Not only you get good work done at a good price but Craig is always ready to give you reliable advice, he has time to talk to you and explain you what is going on, recommend you where to buy staff and helping you save money, and when there is any problem out of his scope he recommends you to a range of trustworthy professionals to get it sorted.All the best Craig!

Craig is very friendly and highly knowledgeable with regard to cars. I took my old diesel car for service at start of the year, got a call back from Craig later during the day was told the car was in very bad condition and wasn't worth servicing/spending money. But good thing was Craig didn't charge me single penny for checking the car. Took my car to other garage who happily charged me over £120 for full service. 3 months down the line, car went for MOT and failed miserably. Exactly same issues Craig had highlighted before and eventually car went to scrappy. Wish I had listened to Craig advice on first instance.Highly recommended and most reliable garage in Edinburgh. Garage you can trust blindly. More...

I am really impressed with the customer service I have received from Steins Garage. I have taken two vehicles there on different occasions, both times Craig and his team were prompt, professional and friendly. The repairs/MOT/Service were done promptly, for a very fair price, and they kept me updated throughout. I use my car a lot for work and I’m really glad to have found a trustworthy garage who will help me keep my car running safely. I will be taking my car back to Craig and his team for repairs and its MOT in the coming months. I highly recommend using Steins for all your vehicle repairs! More...

Took my newly-bought second-hand forester to Steins for a check-up and full service - everyone I spoke to was very helpful, and Craig talked to me in detail about the car and advised on work that might have to be carried out in the future. Appreciate the heads up with this kind of thing! Quick turn-around, too. Will definitely be going back for future services. More...

Took my vw polo to a different garage and it failed its MOT. Garage quoted nearly £400 for the repairs which seemed high to me. Contacted Steins after the garage I use in Newcastle recommended them. Craig was fantastic; I dropped the car off that afternoon and it was ready by the next morning, and they only charged £210 for the same repairs and a new MOT test. Could not recommend them highly enough. More...

Main dealer couldn’t fit me in for almost two weeks, so I phoned Steins who agreed to fit me in the next morning when I explained I couldn’t manage without my car as there’s no public transport where I live.

Fast, efficient, friendly and reliable service – highly recommended!Steins provide excellent communication, fair prices and have an honest approach to running their business. I had used another well-known garage who recommended a list of repairs after a recent service. They told me the repairs were serious and would be very expensive. I went to Steins for a second opinion after reading their fantastic reviews and they did not disappoint. They repaired the water pump at an affordable cost and confirmed that the other repairs were not needed. Compared to my experience at the other garage I felt very reassured that I can keep my car running safely with Steins. I have also used Steins for my MOT which was competitively priced, and my car went through with no problems within a couple of hours. I am a very happy customer and will be back for my next service.Many thanks to Craig and the team More...

As a women in her 20's, I get nervous changing garages but i've just recently moved to Edinburgh and now I wouldn't go to any other garage. I've had my car for 4 years and this is honestly the best service i've had. Car went in for service and MOT, Craig's dad was there to recieve it and Craig delt with the return, both with great customer service. The price was incredibly reasonable for what was wrong with my car PLUS they fixed everything so quickly that I got my car back after 3 hours and my car has never felt so good to drive!

Have been using this garage in the past few years for my MOT, annual servicing and all sorts of repairs - my old car needs a lot of care! Craig and his team are very knowledgeable and professional, identifying the problems quickly and offering cost-effective solutions as needed. For the jobs they could't do, Craig explained the problem in details, and referred me to one of the garages he knew, even with an estimated price for the job, which is usually pretty accurate! Although it is not the most conveniently located for me, I feel my car is in good hands with them and it is definitely worth the extra travel. More...

Took my 2010 Audi in to Craig. Was rattling about at high speeds and was making a lot of clunking noises etc. Just wasn't a well car at all. Craig went out of his way to meet me at 6:30am (I don't know if he wants me to say that as I think he'd rather the lie in for future customers) because I start work at that time. Kept me well informed and didn't do un warrented work. My onboard computer was saying all my brake pads were needing replaced but Craig took a look, then just replaced the front ones. Explaining my back ones were fine and that it was just the computer that needing reset. He could of easy swindled me for that but didn't. Had the car in for two full days with the amount of work needing done to it and now I've got it back it's like night and day. I'll be taking it up with the garage I bought it from 5 months ago at the condition it was sold to me in.Very straight talking and easy to deal with, nice guy all round. I've never written a google review before but this has compelled me to.Cheers again! More...
