Joe’s Repair Shop Should Be The Garage That All Other Garages Aspire To Be. I had various warning lights appear on my van’s dash today, so took it to Joe’s. I’ve previously had work carried out and a service done there so didn’t hesitate to use them again. Just as before, the team were polite, helpful and excellent in the work they did. I will never take my vehicle anywhere else. Thank you Joe and Team.

I bought a 1992 900 Turbo S 16v convertable that had sat unused in a garage for 12 years. Joe managed to breathe life back into it within a couple of hours. I left the car with him to get a few bits done along with a full service and MOT. I couldn't recommend Joe highly enough. He kept me informed of what the car needed and the costs involved. As well as doing all the work I had paid for I have noticed that a few bits and bobs have been done at no cost. I will continue to use Joe as and when required in the future.

"unprecedented family run garage"

By stephen lasenby, 14 January 2017

I moved to Epsom Downs and purchased a Saab, unknowing that there was Joe's repair workshop specialising in Saab's just down the road from me and stumbled across him by shear coincidence. Joe and his team have worked on my Saab and most recently on my Ford Van. I have found him to be most competent, approachable and enthusiastic at finding the problem, with a wealth of knowledge behind him. His wife Michelle has great communication skills keeping me informed of progress all the way from booking in my vehicle, to collecting it. I have spoken to various members of his mechanics team who have all portrayed level of professionalism and have been most courteous. In summary I believe it is hard these days to put your trust in garages, however have no hesitation in recommending "Honest Joe!". Its almost a pleasure to part with the vehicle repair charge as not only have I found them to be reasonably priced, one most certainly does NOT come away with the feeling of being ripped off! Nice one Joe, Michelle and team, keep up the standards that others should follow. PS one last mention, even their Dog comes out from behind the reception to say hello to me now!

"Great service from a Saab expert"

By Anonymous, 4 July 2016

Joe is the real deal when it comes to diagnosing Saabs. My 9-5 Aero Estate hasn't really boosted properly since I've owned it (2 years). I've lived with it as it's otherwise been very reliable and is only used as a business workhorse to take me to and from client visits etc. It got to the stage where I was fed up of not having the full 250bhp that I should have, so after to speaking with a number of Saab experts, I settled on Joe's Repair shop to diagnose and rectify the fault. I was fearing the worst, but Joe identified the problem, which involved freeing up the APC valve and the wastegate. This didn't completely rectify the problem, so Joe then fitted a new APC valve, which did rectify the issue. He only charged me for the cost of the part on the 2nd visit and fitted it free of charge, which he didn't have to do. I now have all horses back under the bonnet and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Joe's Repair Shop to anyone else, whether you have a Saab or not. It's not often you meet a genuinely good guy, supported by a friendly team, who is an expert in his field and puts the customer first.

Joe is looking after my Saab for a number of years now. At this occasion I booked an appointment for diagnostic, as every time I accelerated air leak noise was coming from the engine bay. Diagnosed the damaged flexi exhaust pipe as the fault within 15-20 minutes. Although I should’ve book an another appointment for the repair, luckily Joe had a spare part in stock and was able change the part immediately, saving me the return trip for a second appointment. Absolute fantastic! While I was waiting for my car I was offered refreshment and had a nice chat with Michelle so time was flying. Many thanks. Highly recommended professionals!

"Absolutely brilliant, highly recommended"

By ChrisCL, 18 December 2015

So we are about to go and collect a daughter and Grandson who are flying into Heathrow. Our trusty Saab 93 has never let us down, but this time was different - the afternoon before the collection the ignition key disintegrated - literally - and the spare which had been in the drawer for 15 years? Dead. However a friend suggested trying Joe who he thought was a Saab specialist. Thank God I did. Although in the middle of another job Joe immediately offered to supply two keys and reprogram them into the ECU. This was outstanding because a) he could supply keys off the shelf, b) there was no "well, I could do it tomorrow" or suchlike. I really couldn't believe I had struck so lucky. And it all happened just like Joe said it would, the keys worked, the daughter and grandson were collected. All I can say is thank you Joe and team and highly recommend Joe's Repair Shop.

The entire team at Joe's is first rate, overall the best customer service and work I have ever received from an auto dealership or repair shop, extremely knowledgeable, especially with Saab's, The technician accurately diagnosed and fixed my problem first time, the staff kept me updated on delays and discussed my options, these people know their stuff! The overall experience was great and professional. I was very satisfied with the costs regards the work involved and the timing and the friendly atmosphere, I will continue to go there for all my service needs in the foreseeable future, I have already recommended them to fellow Saab owners!

I've used these guys for various bits on my classic 900 now, including a strange intermittent issue with the brakes which Joe diagnosed almost immediately. I've not come across anyone who know Saabs better than Joe. He is totally trustworthy and always does a great job. Plus they are very friendly and always make time for you. He has a good knowledge and contacts for sourcing spare parts. Great value - definitely a safe pair of hands. Highly recommended.

Major service for my SAAB 95. All done to time but oil leak identified from gearbox (hot oily smell reported). Returned for what was estimated to be around £800 for gearbox out (seals maybe) and new clutch etc while the box was out. Up on the ramp - oil leak not where expected - several bolts tightened - pressure washed and run on ramp for an hour. No leak visible. Plan - take it home - run it around - come back and let us have a look. Brilliant thanks - how much? Er nothing. Little short of amazing. Went home pinching myself.

I've worked in sales in the motor trade for almost 25 years and don't usually 'do' reviews, however in this case I've made an exception. If you want friendly, honest and straightforward no nonsense advice combined with excellent service this is the place to come, all of my Saab work goes here without question(they do carry out work on all makes by the way!!) and all of my Saab customers are recommended to use Joe and his team for their future servicing/repair needs. Entrusting my own customers' future satisfaction to Joe is the best recommendation I can give but don't take my word for it, book your car in and find out for yourselves!!!!

Popped to see Joe yesterday 05/01/2015 with a problem with my Saab 9.3, within 10 seconds of driving my car he diagnosed the problem. Joe told me that he was extremely busy but if I could get to him by 07.30 am the next morning he will fit me in which i did and within 1 hour I was on my way home. It was very apparent how busy he was by the number of vehicles being brought in while I was waiting. So pleased that I have found Joe's as I have had so many bad experiences in the past even with some very big named garages. His whole set up is very customer friendly. He also took the time to advise me on certain things that I should check to see if they have been done on my vehicle. Very helpful and efficient garage. peter

I reviewed Joe's fantastic skills last year when he saved my Saab. Since then he's serviced it twice and replaced the dreaded dead amp. When I saw he'd opened his repair shop I was a bit anxious-would he be as good? Would he be as honest? Would he be as friendly? Truthfully? It's even better. Not only do you have Joe's expert, honest and friendly service, you also have Darren, his co-worker. In addition you also have Joe's lovely, helpful wife, Michelle. Nothing is beyond them. I won't ever go elsewhere, and recommend them to everyone in need of a mechanic.

This wasn`t the first time I used Joe`s expertise. My 2002 Saab 93 was loosing coolant every now and then for a very long time. It started to bothering me so much I took it to Joe. He advised it could be water pump. As he wanted to make sure that's the problem before he start replacing parts I left the car with him for a couple of days so the car can show the symptoms. Once he was confident this is the problem he replaced the requested parts and so far so good. He only using genuine or very high quality aftermarket parts from the most trusted manufacturers. He also explains why the faults occurred on the first place and what jobs he carries out. As I mentioned earlier it wasn't the first time and definitely not the last. Thanks Joe! Highly recommended!

"The Saab Surgeon"

By mintcake, 3 September 2014

I had a rare and recurring issue with my Saab 9-5 engine, and there are no Saab specialists anywhere near Hackney. My local boys could only reset the diagnostics, but not solve the problem. I took it to Joe after reading great reviews, he's super-knowledgeable and began trouble-shooting, trying a few things over a number of visits which helped. He went out of his way to get in touch months later when he'd solved the mystery. When I first met him he was operating from home and juggling cars around his drive-way, now he's running a really impressive garage with his mate. I dropped the car back, he donned a stethoscope and began carefully probing around the engine, using the sound he found a leak in the intercooler. Now that's what I call persistence, he sourced quality parts and fixed it while I waited, throwing in a brew, a bit of advice and some windscreen fluid for free. A very happy customer indeed, it seems I'm not the only one, "Joe's" is now really busy and it's great to see his success. Highly recommended!

"Superb diagnostic skills and service for my Honda"

By Massagegear, 24 April 2014

I used the services of Joe for the first time a couple of days ago and am really pleased with the work he has done on my wife's Honda Civic and also his genuine, friendly approach to customer service. The Civic has suffered from a variety of clunking noises over the past few years and recently developed a grinding/rubbing noise when turning left. Joe picked up the car and quickly diagnosed the components that were causing the issues. He explained in detail what needed to be done and on my instructions, proceeded to replace the worn parts (lower wishbone, Wheel bearing, 2 x anti-roll bar links). When he returned the car, he took the time to show me the work undertaken. The proof of the pudding came when I drove the car - the handling and feel of it were totally transformed. Based on my first experience with Joe, I intend to use his services for both our cars for the forseeable future, and....... ..... he is a really nice guy!

Can only recommend , had discs and pads (front) changed on my CRV , excellent work, very reasonable, very knowledgeable, even called me to say (whilst doing the work) that the pads were still in good order so that I would not think that he wanted to rip me off. Of course when you change discs you have to change pads as well, which I knew. How many garages call you about a detail like that ??? Main dealer (stealer...) certainly never .... Also, now the garage is just across the road from Tattenham Corner mainline station, how much more easy can it be ? You will have to travel far to find a similar combination of quality of service and very reasonable price , if you are lucky enough to find one at all....

"A Godsend - simply brilliant."

By Fiona Hinton, 29 November 2013

Having recently acquired a 51 Reg 93 Convertible, I had no idea what to do when dashboard lights suddenly went on and it went into, what I now know is called, 'limp home mode'. This all happened on Monday. In a panic I googled for a Saab specialist and fell upon this website with excellent reviews. I took the plunge and was not disappointed. When I rang Joe on Tuesday he arranged to come out as soon as he could (same afternoon). He diagnosed the problem and ordered the part - a sensor (from Sweden), he then very kindly, 'limped' my car back to his garage. As agreed, I had my car back in time for the weekend, purring happily. The cost was extremely reasonable for the trouble Joe went to, and I am almost glad that the sensor went, as I now know who to turn to for my car's servicing next year and any other needs she may have over the years. Although Joe clearly loves Saabs, he knows a lot about other makes too, so I'll be encouraging my husband to use the garage for his Volvo. Excellent, good-humoured and thoughtful service. I can't recommend Joe and his garage enough.

I stumbled across Joe and Surrey Saab Specialists through Google and am delighted to have done so. I've not been moved to reviewing mechanical services before but I think that is because I've just never had the sort of service that Joe offers. My home location is a way off but Surrey Saab Specialists are close to my work location. Joe is incredibly knowledgable and has helped me out where my garage local to home has let me down. Joe has squeezed me in for repairs and is helpful and full of great advice. I've found his cost to be competitive and the service is personal and he shows real dedication to getting things sorted. I'm a very happy customer and will look to use SSS more in the future

Joe is clearly a Saab fan (the number of them outside his house attests to this!) and knows his stuff. Having bought my 55 plate 9-3 in July, he gave it a quick once over at no cost and confirmed that I had gotten myself a great car by the looks of things. I booked a service (very reasonable) a couple of months later, and not only did Joe come and collect/drop off the car, he fixed the sticking window at no cost, and lent me his ratchet straps so I could tie my old MGB to the trailer I hired for transporting it round to my garage from where it had been laid up for a few years at my folks place. Thoroughly decent bloke, recommended for all things Saab and more!!! I will be using him for all my car servicing/repair needs in the future for sure.

Thank goodness for this website and reviews. I met Joe Pugh as my Saab Aero has had an engine warning light prevalent for five years. I had been told that it was only a sensor issue but nobody could locate a sensor and there was a two month delay in obtaining one. Thankfully Joe found one in twenty four hours, repaired a few other aspects and the car is running like a dream. he drove out to Teddington, collected the car, repaired the faults and returned the Saab in fully operational order. i can not recommend him highly enough. A thoroughly likeable and friendly man, he is every poorly car's dream. You will not be disappointed if you use his services.

My beloved Saab 9.3 convertible suffered seized water coolant and shredded timing belt. (I think that's right, but I was in mourning!) The RAC man had said it was probably terminal-it would need an engine transplant. Because I love my car I thought I'd try to see if anyone could resuscitate it, but didn't hold out much hope. I know nothing about cars, so was ready for a lot of patronising and being ripped off, going from past experiences (including main Saab dealer). Found this garage on this site. JOE PUGH is a genius. He fixed it. Not only that, it cost about half of what the RAC man had estimated. He kept me informed all the way through and I can't recommend him highly enough. He explained what future work I may need, and didn't patronise me or make me feel stupid because I don't know about engines. He really knows his stuff, and I have told almost everyone i know about him-he fixes all cars, not just Saab. Five stars just aren't enough. He is a lovely man too.

I was given this garage contacts by a collegue to rectify a problem with my Saab 93 2.8 Turbo XWD. I had previously taken the car to the franchise where I bought the car, and had no luck fixing the XWD back wheels scuffing, "said I had a wheel out of balance and was putting the axle out !" wanted to charge £280 to fit a Continental tyre, when all the others were Pirelli P Zero nero. When I contacted Joe, he was all up for the task, took 3 days, he fixed the car and at a fraction of the cost it could have been. I had nightly updates, telling me about the car, he even dropped and collected me to and from Epsom rail station. I came all the way from Sevenoaks, and glad I did. Joe has won my custom, Whitmores Chislehurst has lost my custom. To put it in perpective, Joe fixed my car for £14 more than Whitmores wanted to charge for my tyre being out of round and has been proved wouldn't have fixed the car. I would totally recommend Surrey Saab Specialist !

"Fantastic service! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!"

Found Joe through this site and so glad we did! What a top bloke! We were dropped in to town by Joe and shown where to find everything we needed, even down to a lovely park for our little girl to play in while he took the car back and seviced it. He then picked us up when the car was finished! Can't beat that for customer service!! The price for the service was very reasonable and although we had to travel a bit to get to Joes, it was well worth it. Joe is a very knowledgable mechanic and is a very down to earth, honest friendly guy. A real gem. We would use him again without doubt and would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. Very happy customers! :)

"The best mechanic I've ever come across, friendly, insightful, knowledgeable, professional and great value "

By Ida, 16 July 2013

Joe worked late on 2 occasions to help me out of a pickle, the convertible roof wasn't closing correctly and he took me trough the steps to right it without having to spend any money. He also figured out an air leak problem that affected the driving of the car for a very reasonable rate. I went to him due to the comments online and I have been blown away by his service (as a female I always feel like I'm gonna be shafted at a garage!!) and professionalism. He is extremely passionate about SAAB's and it really shows in his work - you feel like your car is in the best hands possible... I can't recommend him highly enough - I traveled almost 40 miles to get to him and I won't go anywhere else, my partner will also take his BMW to him in the future too. Thanks Joe - you are a superstar!!!

We have a Saab and went to Joe after reading some of the reviews on this site. Story of our life is that nothing is ever straightforward and fixing the problem causing the ABS & BRAKE warning lights to stay on in my Saab 93 Convertible didn't disappoint. However, Joe stuck with it but also kept the cost down by making sensible decisions about how to fix the problem. We will be going back to him for some problems we have on our other car (Citroen) and will not hesitate to use him again for any future mechanical repairs needed to the Saab. Joe is an all round Good Egg!!! :)

"Great Service"

Found Joe on this sight and after reading the reviews I decided to trust it and have him a call - am so glad I did. I was looking for someone to MOT our Saab 9-5 and repair the ABS after a previous garage had failed to diagnose the problem. When I spoke to Joe he obviously knew his stuff and he not only diagnosed the problem but got the part, fitted it and MOTd it for us - and by the following morning it was ready to collect. Will definately be using him again and would recommend anyone who has a Saab to give Joe a try.

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. Dan Thornton.

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. Mark & Vanessa. Farnham Surrey.

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 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.

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!!

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

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.
