Peter & the crew have looked after our Demo Focus ST250 since the day we got it, installing all performance parts, brakes etc including doing a complete fully forged engine build in it, advising us on the best parts to meet our requirements. Fitted the huge brakes all round which was a massive headache but they sorted it all. Cannot fault their work or advice - recommend them to everyone who requires their services.

R. A.

well all i can say is WOW The service peter and the lads provided was second to non i have had my car into 3/4 different garages and could not pinpoint the fault peter seen my post and messaged me and helped me try or sort over message which he said could be a number of faults told me to pop over and he would look at it with in 10 minutes of being there the fault was found and fixed an even better NO PARTS needed the best of it is i only know peter from the company i work for as he deals with some work on their transits would 100% recommend thanks again

J. C.

Top quality workmanship and completely honest & professional, had my 530d here to get the remap that was installed before I bought car removed and a better tune put on as it was chucking loads of black smoke out, Peter read the map on it found the issues with it, put it back to stock road tested it and checked all the smoke had cleared and it had but when car was moved found oil on the floor so he had the underside cleaned off and checked for the leak, put it on dyno and tuned it up and its a completely different car to drive now that the map has been redone cant recommend enough for the service I received and the price for the work

D. b.

After a lot of good feed back from friends I decided to use car torque to have my 2012 skoda octavia vrs cr170 remapped and they didn't disappoint the car came back at 206.8 bhp and 421.95 nm feels like am now driving a completely different car very smooth power delivery and even better MPG... Great service from start to finish would definitely recommend Thank you

M. H.

Excellent service from Peter and his team, fast and reliable with no worries. Definitely recommend this garage to anyone.

J. S.

Just had my 2nd visit to Car Torque and couldn’t be happier with the service received from Peter and the lads. Wouldn’t go anywhere else, they deliver a service beyond what you’d expect at any main dealer for a fraction of the. Price.

B. W.

Excellent service and they went the extra mile to ensure that my vehicle was in full working order. Would highly recommend.

J. H.

Supplied me with an Airtec intercooler for my Vw Golf, very helpful, highly recommend

G. M.

Audi TT stage 1 map done today by Peter/ Lads, 40bhp and 80nm increase, the torque increase being very noticeable, prior to map car had smooth somewhat slower acceleration and coming from a higher torque diesel to this petrol i noticed a lack of that punch in acceleration when you need it to get round cautious Doris in her Micra going up a slip road, dont get me wrong the TT was no slouch at stock, but now it has a touch of radgee about it, got that velocity that throws you back in your seat a bit, if your after a remap done, these lads will deliver a good service and reasonable rates, road tests done with data collected both before and after ensuring all is well, second visit with 2 different cars im sure when i change again ill be back...highly recommended if you have a need...a need for speed..

D. M.

Best workshop I've taken a car or van too. removed the DPF from my Vito and remapped it. Best it's drove and it's a 10 year old van. Extremely good customer service from the lads.

A very honest garage, i gave them a description of a fault with my sons car which turms out to be a common issue with that model they gave me a quote to repair it which was similar to other quotes from garages in the area,when we dropped the car off for the repair tourqe garage found it was not that issue but a much cheaper fix, they did the that repair and charged us a fraction of what the original quote was, i don't know how many garages would do this but i know ive found a honest one with tourqe who will be getting my business from now on thanks guy's

Great service I was working opposite the garage and managed to lock my keys in my works van as I have a problem with the central locking asked the lads if they could help and had the keys back in my hand 5mins later and no charge absolute saviours cheers Peter and the team

A. W.

First time I've used Car Torque , my vw passat had a ongoing problem. Peter was recommended by another garage, it was sorted within half a day! Peter was honest and told me what he was doing,and also asked me and gave me a price before trying anything else very happy with the service 👍😀

C. R.

Took a family member up to them Great very friendly and gave car a health check before any work was done Amazing work would recommend 👌

L. G.

Had an emissions fault and issue with my AdBlue system which brought me - after bouncing through several other garages who couldn't help - to Car Torque. It was immediately apparent that Peter knew his stuff and was confident that he could put things right. They managed to do the job same day and get me back on the road. From the outset staff were professional, friendly and didn't seem to mind me cluttering up their office while the work was done. Can't recommend them highly enough!

We have used Peter and co. @ Car Torque for over 6 years, for our car and our company vehicles. Always happy to help and great service, would highly recommend.

T. H.

Completely different car after remapping so much more responsive, and staff were friendly and professional.

K. K. R. G.

My car Peugeot 2008 GT line had loads of issues 1. Adblue system - emissions control fault 2. Fuel injector needed replacing 3. Bottom ball joint needed replacing 4. Front wheel shock absorber faulty 5. Rear disks and disk pads worn out. Car torque were just amazing and fixed everything in couple of days at pretty much decent price. They tested everything before handing over my car, so far everything has been good. I cannot thank Car Torque enough and the customer service was absolute top class. Thank you again Car Torque and will definitely come back again for regular service.

N. M.

Just replaced my wife's focus st will an rs focus which ben and Peter did a lot work on, my wife took the rs looking for some upgrades, rs has had some work done already, to my surprise everything my wife wanted to be done Peter and ben advised against, they lose an opportunity to make quite a bit from us if they simply agreed with want my wife wanted however they advice was amazing, lost a sale but gained a customer for life, But Peter didn’t mention new rear lights so will be going back to discuss true gentleman and trustworthy business not putting profits ahead of customer care well done lads Had my wife’s st back for more work, again the service communication second to none, new Milltek exhaust and low line Maxton splitters fit. My wife loves it. Order more upgrades today whilst picking the car up, Ben and Peter and the team are something else, considering they are young lads, the business maturity is very impressive. It’s not often I can say it but when spending my money here is a pleasure. Thanks again to the car torque team 🏅🏅

C. M.

I've been to many garages in my time but these guys come out on top; a true cut above the rest. Customer service is exemplary, their vehicle knowledge is outstanding - particular car performance - and their prices are competitive. Whenever I've had motor problems, these guys have been there to support and get me back on the road asap. I travel a canny distance to see these guys instead of using local garages which is testament to their service quality.

M. E.

Had my fiesta st180 in for a stage 2 remap and diagnostics of a few other issues. Car came back great, couldn’t recommend more!

A. G.

The lads were great went to them after 3 years of intermittent fault on astra GTC, been to main dealerships and smaller garages to no avail. Throttle pedal fault meant garages kept on changing accelerator pedal at £200 a pop glow plugs at £200 a pop and a new ECU under warranty. Took it to car torque the next day got the car back remapped and fault found, simple wiring fault they said however 4 other garages and 3 years of fault finding nobody found such a little thing as a wire issue. I've had the car back a month now before writing review. No issues what so ever and the lads were great even checking up to see if the fault was fixed. Truly a garage that cares and not just another number. Would recommend to anyone.

D. D.

Took my car here today absolutely great service and very helpful. Stage 1 remapping on my f pace and it feels like a completely different car. Would definitely recommend these guys and I will be back in the future for sure thank you.

K. B.

A rare find, a professional garage service with knowledge of auto electronics and software. Saved me ££££s over a main dealer experience

K. R.

Just had timing belt and water pump done at car torque customer service was brilliant. Taking the car here in the past with a boost problem, peter and the team quickly diagnosed a faulty actuator and incorrectly fitted recirculation valve. After fitting new parts and a custom remap the car was finally boosting as it should. Very knowledgeable and professional as always.

J. T.

Great service at car torque. Had trouble getting proper diagnosis with engine misfire elsewhere and these lads got to the bottom of it quick and got my car running spot on. Sound lads and very informative. Will definitely be taking any cars here in the future

G. W.

Had my Audi A5 booked in with Car Torque NE a few weeks back for DPF / EGR solution but unfortunately had to reschedule due to electrical issues with the car. The guys were more than accommodating & kept my appointment open & held my deposit for the rescheduled date. Just had the work done & couldn't be happier with the results. Great job all round, did the work in the time quoted & the resulting work speaks for itself. Amazing job lads, I'll be back soon for upgrades.

P. K.

One of the best garages in the area. They're fair and thorough. They will let me know how much an procedure costs before it happens. The staff is friendly and are helpful. It's an garage that checks to make sure something is broken, instead of needlessly preforming repairs and charging you more (which can happen at other places). Highly recommended for all major repairs.

O. J.

The only garage I’d trust. First time using Car Torque North East and definitely won’t be the last. Great experience from start to finish. Ben and the team were great and even collected/dropped off my car. Will be back for a tune soon! Cheers guys!

S. r.

I can’t recommend Peter and his team highly enough. Honest, reliable, professional, friendly, great value for money, customer service is above and beyond. I could go on and on praising them. So different to any other garage I’ve been to. I’ve been a customer of car torque 4 years now. It’s not often you look forward to taking your car to the garage for a repair! They really are the best! Thank you Peter, Ben and the team.

A. D.

Absolutely amazing bunch of guys. Diagnosed and fixed the engine malfunction issue when other garages gave up. Extra shout out to Ben for best front of house and service ever received in this industry :-)

R. D.

One of the best garages I have been to. Went the extra mile on my service. Checked my car over while it was there. Affordable prices for a high quality job. I will be using them every time going forward

r. g.

Very helpful very polite and a first class job done at a very reasonable cost would highly recommend them l will be using them again in the futere

G. M. F.

Had new turbo fitted to my car. The car wasn’t right tried 3 garages no joy. Was recommended to try car torque. Ben and Peter diagnosed the problem quickly keeping me informed on their progress and costs. very professional and can’t recommend them enough.Car back to running perfectly.

M. G.

Can't recommend them enough, good prices and the work is carried out to a high standard. I know a few people who have had work done there as well as myself and I've not heard anything but high praise. Awesome lads, all of them. Service is top class and they all know their stuff. Repairs, servicing, diagnostics, remapping, performance parts, it's all covered and they have their own Dyno too.

L. H.

Throughout my purchase with Car Torque North East I dealt with Peter, he helped me find what I was looking for and managed to secure me a really good deal which made all the other discounts I could find seem tiny. Not only this but Peter also went out his way to ensure that my purchase arrived before the following week (I ordered on a Thursday and although it wasn’t something they stocked it still somehow arrived on the Sunday). All in all I would defo recommend them to others and I look forward to purchasing more car parts from them very soon.

s. t.

Well impressed, very friendly staff, they explained what they were going to do to rectify the problem with my ford kuga. It was sorted in a day at a very competitive price. Would definitely recommend.

G. R.

Fantastic! service, highly recommend using them for any modifications. I picked my car today and I'm blown away by the performance, feels like a different car. Great, staff, very knowledgeable and friendly, will definitely use them again.

c. l.

Today 19/05/2021 I went to Car Torque North East for a stage 1 remap. Upon arrival I was welcomed by staff who were very polite and professional. At reception I was talked through the process of what was going to happen and when the car would be available to pick up. The car was ready quicker than expected and the gains from the remap are better than expected. Thanks again to Peter(owner) and the team.

J. H.

Had my Fiesta ST in for a Peron stage 1+ map. Amazing service and I genuinly couldn't rate them highly enough for the communication and the quality of the work done. The car feels amazing and the difference in power is crazy. Will 100% be back for everything else I have planned.

s. m.

Really happy with the advice from Ben on my options regarding new sports exhaust system for my AMG A45s. New EU regs mean a weak sound from even the sportiest back ends. Very courteous service from this company, was booked in and work carried out on time, really pleased. Result - a much richer sound from the system at idle and then more or a satisfying rasp under throttle, makes me smile, would certainly recommend these guys.

T. D.

Needed my Ford Transit mk7 remap and restrictor doing asap, the team were fantastic managed to fit me in that afternoon and job done. The team were fantastic and very professional, highly recommend them to anyone. They went above and beyond to help me out, highly recommended. Thanks Guys, much appreciated. Steve

N. W.

Recently had my car remapped here. Booked me in at short notice and carried out the work whilst I waited . Transformed my cars performance and drive ability. Loads more torque low down in the rev range and seems to have improved the mpg too. Owner and staff where all very friendly . Would definitely recommend for any vehicle repair work or tuning. Thanks again Car Torque North East!

S. G.

Just had a stage 1ECU remap on my mazda 3 2.2 diesel, excellent improvement on power, great price, professional, knowledge staff, highly recommended.

M. M.

A genuine honest reliable garage, service they provide is of the highest quality and I will not being going anywhere else, these guys pay so much attention to detail and is 100% worth every penny you will spend, I went in for my Peron Stage 1 pro and achieved some great figures and I’m absolutely over the moon as the car had been completely transformed. Top service from some genuinely amazing guys who take care of you.

G. M.

Great bunch of lads, went the extra mile to complete the tune of my car. Highly recommended.

N. s.

1st class service from them. Found problem within hours of dropping off and motor fixed and back to me within days.

A.

Great communication with peter and the team Had my ford focus in for a stage one remap the other day Drives like a new car Acceleration is so much better than it was prior can really tell the difference Good price and very easy process Would highly recommend Thanks again lads Al

D. M.

Don’t know where to start with these guys. They don’t normally repair large vans but I was working around the corner and thought I’d pop in and from the minute I walked in they filled me with confidence. I had an electrical problem and had been to a number of garages only to get nowhere. Peter was adamant he could sort it and pulled out all the stops to correctly diagnose and fix the fault. The constant line of communication between peter and myself was first class also, he would let me know what he found how much it would cost to repair before proceeding. Reliable/honest and very reasonable. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Thanks again for getting me back up and running. 👍

R. B.

Been here a few times for work to my car. Recently been in for a new exhaust system and remap. Highly recommend the service provided by the lads. Their work is first class and cant praise them enough for how my car is now performing.

A. V.

I went up to Car Torque North East on Friday just gone to get a module calibration on my Ford Focus ST. Got to the garage and instantly welcomed by the staff members on arrival. Peter (the owner) came out to me & very professionally explained the process of what he’s doing and how he is going to do it on my car. While waiting for this to be done, I got introduced to a few of the staff members on my visit. Credit to Peter, he’s got a great team and an awesome garage. Customer service is second to none👌🏼 Thanks so much to Peter & the team! Will be back soon 😊

B. F.

Car Torque has always looked after mine and my wife’s cars for a long time. Very professional in their approach to customers and the standard of work is a very high standard as they go the extra mile. I work in the industry and struggle to find many garages that are as focused to customer service as Peter and the team are. Top rated team 👍

P. L.

Visited Car Torque after experiencing an engine malfunction with my Smax. I can honestly say that from start to finish that every step of the process was explained in full and detail. Within no time my car had a diagnostic ran and the fault pinpointed with accuracy. Expert service at a great value. Quite refreshing to find genuine, trustworthy and knowledgeable lads right on the doorstep to leave your motoring issues with! Absolute diamonds

P. C.

Good lads,great service, very reasonable prices. Had my Fiesta ST remapped to 223BHP and 325NM for £295. It drives beautifully with no issues, mpg not affected. Well done Ben and company.

I. W.

I have used Car Torque for around 8 years now, I have seen there business grow from a small unit that Peter worked from up to a fully equipped garage with 4 members of staff, That tells me this business is doing what all good garages should do! I have total faith in all the staff and I would recommend this garage to anyone and everyone, Well done team Car Torque for the sterling service I have received and I will see you soon for my next service

J. D.

Fantastic service. Peter is a friendly, honest reliable person. Always willing to help and does a fabulous job. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. If Car Torque North East can’t fix it nobody can. First class diagnostics and the latest technology

A. P.

I've known Peter at Car Torque a number of years now, and him and his team have always sorted whatever problem I've sent his way. They are very knowledgeable, and happy to help and give a top quality service. Can't recommend Peter and the guys enough, certainly best mechanic I've found.

R. “. E. P. C. C.

had my audo a6 3.0 v6 biturbo in for some egr and dpf work and had a stage 1 put on while it was there amazing prices quick work and the lads know their stuff the car was fast to start with now its like a rocket ship will deffo use again and recommend to my friends and family

B. M.

honest and relible garage stafe very friendly i hade proble withe my mercedes vito loss of power in the last two years even mercedes specialest couldint fix the problem this garage fix it for me straight away thank you guys.

A. D.

Took my volvo 2.0 in to have the fuel system bled, other garages said it was a dealer job but these guys did it no problem. They also fixed a wiring issue that was stopping the car from running, fast diagnostics and turn around. Fair and clear price and would recommend them to anyone.

A. S.

Lovely lads, good customer service. Made it an easy experience

G. O.

I’ve used this garage a few times now and had no complaints whatsoever. I’ve a standard Vw golf gti 2017 which has been remapped to 294bhp which is awesome. I’ve also had the clutch and flywheel upgraded to an RTS twin friction clutch to cope with the extra bhp and torque and this has not affected the drivability at all. Finally I’ve just had the water pump changed which is a common fault on these cars. I got a few quotes from good independents but the quote from car torque was £200 cheaper. Ben at reception is spot on dealing with any queries and I don’t think I’ll be using any other garages as these lads now know my car.😀😀

Z. C.

Top guys with a professional and 5 star service, car went in for stage 1 guys ran a health check on car before hand car was over boosting and going into limp mode was quickly diagnosed and fixed from these guys before carrying out any tuning very reasonable prices !

A. W. (.

Service was spot on, took my golf in for a stage 1 remap and I'm happy with the result. Had the car back in a few hours and also got some decent advice about my near end of life DPF

T. T.

Best garage in the area told me the price of the job before i booked the car in i've used car torque for six years now all jobs done right first time highly recommended.

T. A.

My second (belated) review for these lads (other one is on Facebook about a Sprinter they did for me but Facebook seems to only allow one review per business). I took my Iveco Daily 35S18 3.0 in for a remap. There's not many of this particular model about so Peter took a bit of time to do his homework before he took it in, something I appreciate. Once again I am really very happy with the result. Loads of added power and the bonus of marginally better mpg. My local mechanic Scott had a drive of it not long after I'd had the remap done and he was amazed at how torquey it is now - he didn't know of Car Torque NE previously but has since, on my recommendation, took two of his own motors in to them for remaps! He's a very good mechanic himself so that's quite an endorsement. Like a lot of other reviewers I also must mention the standard of their customer service - friendly, relaxed, professional and straight with you. I'll be back next time I change vans.

I decided to book my VW Passat 2.0tdi DSG in for a stage 1 ECU and DSG remap, based on all of the good reviews on Google and Facebook and I'm glad I did. Peter and all of the lads were absolutely spot on and I couldn't recommend them enough. They all seem really knowledgeable and its clear they are genuinely interested in you as a customer. The car was running 143bhp and 318nm before the remap, its now running 192bhp with 374nm. It's transformed the car, especially with the DSG remap which has made gear changes noticeably quicker. The 'manual mode' is actually manual now which is nice. Overall I'd 100% recommend this place to anyone looking to have their car remapped.

I have used Peter and his team for years now and will not use any other garage, Excellent rates and an even better service would highly recommend Car Torque North East " You won't be disappointed" trust me. I have revered friends and family to Peter over the years. Julian Wallsend.

Had milltek active exhaust supplied and fitted on my 2017 Audi Q7, the exhaust sounds unreal and is fully controlled via milltek app that they kindly installed on my phone and gave me a full demonstration how to work the app , Could not recommend enough there customer service & workmanship was second to non. Anyone wanting any exhaust upgrades or advice on any upgraded parts for your vehicle these guys are the best around.

P. E.

Excellent service, had a new Mountune exhaust fitted to my Fiesta ST, the guys were really friendly and professional, would definitely recommend and use again.

I toom my mk3 rs focus to car torque as i had changed the front seats but this put the airbag light on and peter new straight away how to fix this unlike any other garage id spoke to about the problem. I recently had problems with my egr valve on my mondeo and again the lads sorted it and it didn't cost as much as I expected. I would/will recommend them to anyone/everyone 👍👍👍

l. r.

I used this garage after a recommendation, I had an engine fault and after talking to Ben and Peter they diagnosed and fixed my car within an hour, I couldn’t have asked for better service and workmanship, Peter and his team really know what they are doing and I will certainly be using them again!!

Fixed major issues with my 2014 BMW 3 series DPF & EGR valve. Power was non exisitant and fuel consumption had became terrible. Had all work carried out and a re-map and my car feels brand new. Saved me a fortune with their knowledge of options to sort the job out, where as other garages price you jobs based on main dealers looking for the most money and certainly not the best solutions for your vehicle . Use my car for working away from home and getting almost double out of a full tank of fuel compared to how bad it had got before I went to these lads. Top service always keeping you updated etc. Can't reccomend enough and wouldnt go anywhere else now.

Garage recommended to me by another garage which is always a good sign. Service from start to finish was first class. Before they carried out the work they rang with options and prices. Work completed and they asked that I return 2 weeks later so they could check and make sure everything was working fine. Thanks Guys.

A. B.

Had a Milltek GPF Cat back fitted to my mk8 Fiesta ST. Very pleased with the result. Has changed how the car sound, way better! Would recommend using this garage. Friendly, honest and professional. I did have one small issue, The engine management light came on after I got home from fitting. But took It back and was sorted out promptly and professionally. It was just something minor. I was impressed, as they were busy at the time but managed to get me in. Saving me having to take time off. See pics below of the finished result (please excuse the state of my car, can't seem to keep. It clean at the moment)

First time I used CAR TORQUE but it won't be the last. Ben and Peter who I only dealt with were FIRST CLASS there attitude to their jobs needs Commending . Honest garage honest guys. My car never been in better hands . Will be back for my next service and rear brake pads and discs .

J. P.

Honestly couldnt thank the lads enough. Had major issues with my car in limp mode and was stuck what to do. I emailed the team and got a response straight away. Ben explained everything and they sorted it and even after finding more issues didnt charge me anymore than the price they quoted!! Feels like a new car. Thanks (Audi A4 tdi).

R. D.

Honest, trustworthy and professional. Use them for the majority of servicing, fault finding etc and always do a great job. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy garage to have work done.

J. w.

Used the webshop to purchase a ramair intake system for my Mk7 GTI, fantastic communication and super speedy delivery, almost as quick as the install! Would recommend and will be using again! Also a few quid cheaper than anywhere else.

A. M.

Great reliable garage who know what there doing when it comes to performance, Peter helped me get get uprated spark plugs for a remap and short notice and a great price! Highly recommend Car Torque

B. D.

Great service couldn't recommend highly enough . Had an issue with my Audi A1. Pete and his teams knowledge is fantastic. Problem solved and car running better than ever.

A.

Bought a Cobra Sports Cat for my MK3.5 Focus ST from their online web shop and super fast response and delivery. A very happy customer! Highly recommended... Thanks

C. S.

Had a problem with turbo on Smax after having it fixed. Had my garage and an auto electrician look at it and they didn't really know where to start. These guys figured it out pretty quick and I was able to collect the car the same day fixed. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

A. B.

Had my VW Crafter in to sort egr issue and engine management. Was given a friendly reception, my options were explained and the work carried out in a timely and professional way on the agreed date. Van now runs great with no engine management issues. Thanks car torque ne

Recently brought my stage 1 mk7 golf 2.0 GT TDI in for DSG tune and Dyno run. After proving on the dyno that the car wasnt making the figures that it should have been from previous “generic” tune, I opted for a fresh ecu tune. Coupled with the dsg tune I’m absolutely buzzing with the final results, car torque have now transformed the car and its performing great. Great group of lads and friendly environment. I will be back for further mods.

J. F.

Great reliable service. Very trustworthy.

I came to Car Torque after my local VW garage had ruined my golf with a recall and software update. When I picked it up from Car Torque it was restored to exactly how it was before VW got their hands on it! I have been back every year since for MOT and Service. I don't even live in Tyne and Wear but Im happy to travel as I have complete confidence in their work.

F. M. F.

Been going here for the past 7 years or so for all my car needs, very professional, extremely pleasant and very reasonable, first port of call for any car needs, I would highly recommend Peter and his team.

J. C.

Fantastic service here, car went in got an MOT and the guys were more than helpful with everything that needed to be done. Everything was explained to me in simple terms which I really appreciated. Can tell they take massive pride in what they do.

G. C.

Absolutely amazing. From the start to finish the guys were excellent. They kept me updated throughout and didn't do any work unless they asked beforehand. Which was really good as there's no unexpected costs. I couldn't recommend these guys enough.

G. D.

Had my Tourneo transformed from a sluggish bus into a pleasure to drive vehicle with a smile as big as you can get. I wasn't after top speed as it's pointless in a vehicle of this size but I needed more low down torque as this van used to be a nightmare going uphill with 5 adults in. Where I live there is a long drawn out incline which used to flatten my Tourneo but after Peter had worked his magic I can fly up this hill in 4th gear or even 5th whereas before I would have been struggling to go up in 3rd. The guys, Peter and Ben, were surprised at the miles on my van 240K but what a difference this has made to the whole driving experience ...... thank you Guys it was a pleasure doing business. Couldn't recommend this company any higher!!

S. R.

Had my BMW 1 Series remapped - Great , fast and excellent service. Was the cheapest car remap around after ringing a couple of places. 10/10 recommend

m. R.

Fantastic customer service-explained and advised on all aspects of work and additional cost saving work. And I have never had a vehicle in any workshop ever that has washed and polished it before returning it.Would highly recommend Car Torque

A.

Bought a Cobra Sports Cat for my MK3.5 Focus ST from their online web shop and super fast response and delivery. A very happy customer! Highly recommended... Thanks

O. M.

I could not be happier with the service I received! I enquired about a full splitter kit and spoiler extension, all I got back was professional and excellent recommendations. I went through Car Torque for my splitters and fitting my mudflaps. I am so happy with the results, I would 100% recommend these guys. They took their time to make sure all was perfect and looked after me while I was there. I will be back in the future!

D. M.

Don’t know where to start with these guys. They don’t normally repair large vans but I was working around the corner and thought I’d pop in and from the minute I walked in they filled me with confidence. I had an electrical problem and had been to a number of garages only to get nowhere. Peter was adamant he could sort it and pulled out all the stops to correctly diagnose and fix the fault. The constant line of communication between peter and myself was first class also, he would let me know what he found how much it would cost to repair before proceeding. Reliable/honest and very reasonable. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Thanks again for getting me back up and running. 👍

A. L.

The best garage I have been to by far up in my area and they were always willing to help me and answer any questions I was querying. Honeskty couldn’t recommend this garage more to anyone else! I have been back a second time to this garage and Peter was so open and extremely helpful with explaining what was wrong with my car 100% will be going back if anything else needs to be repaired!!

m.

Just had my Audi A3 1.6 TDI stage 2 remap and Ramair induction kit fitted couldn’t be happier. Best garage in the northeast cheer lads

I’ve been using Car Torque for a number of years now with various cars and I can’t deny their amazing work, professionalism, cost and the fact they actively go out of their way to ensure the customer service is the main factor!! I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.

A. C.

Peter accurately diagnosed several fault codes on my VW beetle - he is like the Sherlock Holmes of cars! And Ben in the office was courteous and helpful in explaining everything in layman’s terms. Thankyou Car Torque.

a. l.

Been coming to car torque for 5 years now .just had the DPF removal and stage 1 re-map on my ML350cdi - awesome !! . Thanks lads 👍
