Was able to diagnose the root problem based on experience with SAABs and fixed it at economic price and with a quick turnaround.

Having tried two garages who failed to sort the problem on my car, (one of whom was a so called Saab specialist), I was glad to find Joe who diagnosed and rectified the problem promptly.

He provided a good and honest service and on that basis I would definitely use him again. An amenable and trustworthy chap.

Joe is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Saab's . He explains what needs to be done in detail and gives you confidence the job will be done properly. He sorted my suspension problems out when my normal garage tried and failed miserably. I will be using Joe for any future work which needs to be done

We took our recently purchased 2002 9-5 aero (our 4th Saab) to Joe after seeing the recommendations on this site. Having just bought the car we wanted to get it checked over and a few niggly bits looked at. Joe carried out a thorough inspection & reported any issues, carrying out a sump service & auto fluid change at our request & replaced leaking rear shocks at a very reasonable cost. She's driving much better now. Further work to be done in the near future & will definately be going back to Joe. Its good to meet a straight talking, honest mechanic who has an exellent knowledge of saabs of all ages.

Joe Pugh (AKA Surrey Saab Specialist) recently undertook an annual service and additional repairs upon my 2002 Saab 9-3 2.2 TDI hatchback. The quality of service provided by Joe was excellent and I highly recommend him to those seeking a realistically priced alternative to the "main dealer" network. His rates are reasonable and his knowledge of the Saab marque extensive. I will certainly be using his services again.

Contacted Joe when the front brakes on my 900s began binding again. Joe picked up the car that evening and had it back to me the following afternoon. He also sorted a couple of other issues at the same time and I'll definitely be using him again to fix some more minor problems!

My front brakes on my 9-5 Aero needed attention. Spoke with Joe and he swapped the pads and the discs in no time at all - very happy customer here.

I need MOT and service in March and will be calling Joe again.

Joe is very knowledgeable , tells it like it is .

I will definitely be using him again..

My SAAB 9-3 running like a dream .

My Saab 93 (2006) was due its MOT and coincidentally devoped a gearbox problem. The garage I'd used before had just gone into administration. So I found Joe via this website and was very pleased I did. He was able to repair the gearbox efficiently and without fuss and then arranged for a new MOT. Excellent value for money.

I needed Joe's help about a week ago. I have got a Saab 9-3 1.9 TiD Vector and had some frightening problem with the EGR valve (blocked). I found him on the internet and phoned. He visited me soon, examined the car and the next day I got it back like a brand new one. It runs brilliant. And last but not least it wasn't very expensive. It worth the money.

I would feel free to recommend him to everyone, real expert.

if carlsburg made a saab mechanic it would be joe

I recently bought a late 2009 VW Tiguan, shortly afterwards problems started with Diesel Particle Filter. Recommended by a friend who had the same issue with a VW Golf I took it to Joe. The service I received was excellent and will be using Surrey Saab Specialists for any other work. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Contacted Joe from the web and booked my 9-5 estate in which had an annoying clonk when going over bumps. As I had recently bought the car I asked Joe to give the car the once overas well while it was with him. This could have been an opportunity to fix all manner of problems that may not have existed but Joe sorted the Clonk (front drop links) and declared the car a goodun and no further work required.
Great service. I will certainly be back. Highly reccommended.

I bought a very cheap 2000 plate Saab 93 diesel recently with 198,000 miles on the clock, and not surprisingly it needed a lot of TLC. I found Joe through this website and phoned him. He came over that evening and took the car back to his workshop. He has the Saab diagnostic instruments so was able to find and fix the many and various faults. He also has a great contact for refurbishing electronic instrumentation such as the SID unit in the dashboard which had stopped working in my car (it's now perfect!). Joe returned the car this evening and it drives like a brand new car - this bloke's a genius and a genuine enthusiast too, plus his prices are very reasonable. I will be sending my car to Joe for all future servicing and repairs. I can't recommend him highly enough!!

Immensely knowledgable and very friendly. I would recommend this firm to anyone.

It's a great comfort to know the person who's working on your vehicle and Joe is both experienced and trustworthy - and not only on Saab. He looks after my Audi and a Golf for a member of my family. He has all the diagnostic kit for VAG, charges reasonable rates and is thoroughly reliable.

I found Joe on the Internet, emailed him. He responded quickly, we had a quick chat about the fault. He came to see car and diagnosed the problem. I had the car recovered to his garage and he fixed it faster than I expected. I very rarely write reviews on the Internet but Joe's great service, knowledge and overall competence in getting the job done at a really good price warrants a five star recommendation

I found Joe,s garage from the internet and gave him a call cos my saab was due belt change and full service!He did a package deal for me which was far more better than any other offers that i recieved!!!For a long time i haven,t got such a nice service from any other garages in the area where i live as him!He is a person who gives you friedly and totally reliable service with non cost effective bonus in the end!!!

Good, cost effective, swift and "spin-free" service.
Accurate diagnosis followed up by timely fixing at a reasonable cost.

My SAAB was due for full servicing + time belt change in august 2011. I contacted various SAAB dealers including Phoenix who gave me a quote between £800-£900. I did some research via Google and found an independent SAAB dealers via SAAB trader website. I contacted Joe Pugh
who was working more then 20 year as a SAAB technician and Service Manager for SAAB workshop. Joe offered professional and efficient service for a good price. £500 full service including time belt change. I would recommend Joe to everyone.

Joe's phone number is 07917004827 joe@surreysaabspecialists.co.uk
