What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Baileyfield Garage is described by customers as a dependable choice for breakdown recovery, towing and vehicle repair work across Edinburgh. Several reviewers highlight the speed of response, with tow trucks and drivers arriving well within the times quoted, and one customer notes that a delay caused by a motorway accident was handled with a phone call and regular updates. Communication before and after the job comes up repeatedly, whether customers were kept informed about arrival times or given a clear explanation of faults and the work needed.

Reviewers mention that equipment arrived in excellent condition and vehicles were loaded onto recovery trailers carefully. David is named often for his patience, friendliness and skill in manoeuvring complex loads, including the relocation of heavy machine tools, while John is praised for his helpful and attentive manner. A receptionist is credited with making a stressful day easier. Customers describe fair fees and reasonable pricing, with mechanics taking extra time to diagnose faults and source parts in order to keep costs down, and drivers going out of their way to wait with a vehicle while a battery charged or to follow a motorcycle home after a roadside fix.

Very rude man answering the phone tonight. He was inpatient, blunt and not professional at all. Would not recommend anyone to these lot. My engine light came on at 4am, I called to get some reassurance as I was very concerned I was about to break down. Just got met with blunt answers and palmed off.

Brilliant guys. Came out in good time. Professional, and kind. Tow driver went a bit extra for me and parked car up as I was a little shaken. Appreciated.

Can’t recommend Baileyfield Garage highly enough. I was in a tight spot due to my electric car shutting down unexpectedly and David went out of his way to help me out.

Amazing service - my car broke down in a car park in Edinburgh. David was so patient and my car was up and running again after a quick fix. Such a friendly, helpful guy, cannot recommend Baileyfield enough!

I wanted to share my experience of David and Baileyfield Garage. I would thoroughly recommend them. I had a complex, multi-stop relocation / removal of precision heavy machine tools. After a few discussions with David, we came up with a solid plan. David was very patient and understanding of the issues associated with a move like this. I felt like my property was in good hands. He expertly manoeuvred the items safely and without incident. Many other garages would have turned away or given up, but David came up with solutions to get the job done. He stayed late to complete the job. He even helped me manually lift and crowbar the machines into position (something that no other provider would help with). I am very grateful for his services, and I would not have been able to get the move done without him. Always pleasant and accomodating. Would 100% recommend.

So grateful for the help I got from Baileyfield Garage today. Plate underneath car fell down when in town so I couldn’t drive. I had both my toddler and my dog in the car so was pretty stressed. They were helpful as always and got to me quickly to make sure I could get home safely. Will continue to use their services in the future (although hopefully I don’t break down again anytime soon!). Thank you again.

Had to have my car towed via breakdown assist. Excellent communication and service from these guys. There was a delay in the arrival (an accident on the motorway that had priority) and the driver called me and kept me updated. He was efficient and quick in the recovery and was very helpful. Definitely recommend these guys.
