- My car recently broke down and had it recovered to Monnington Motors. I can’t recommend Adrian and the team enough. New alternator for a fair price and the car was back on the road the next day. Will certainly use in the future.Pete Snell3/19/2024A big job on my VW Golf new water pump and a new cam belt which was recommended by the garage as my car was 5 years old……they lent me a courtesy car for the 24 hours and the work was carried out and sorted …..i will use these again in the future as they were fair and freindly and reasonable on price to …..would recommend this garagekeith lane2/13/2020Brilliant! My son was stranded 300 miles from home and these guys were great! Gave me the name of a brilliant recovery chap, Graham, who was reasonable price and very helpful. the garage got the car in and out in 24hrs. Highly recommend. A+++++Lee Townsend6/23/2016
- Absolutely fantastic service! would highly recommend. Took my sons car down from Exeter and was given a loan car. Adrian called me through out the day keeping me updated on what was going on. Car was ready to collect at the end of the day and cost less than we first thought, Thankyou.Andy Rawlings1/26/2019I took a van that I was thinking about buying to Monington motors to have them check it over first. Adrian did not hang around getting me in fast and was so genuine in his deportment. Mark was also very kind, and had very good attention to detail and their experience in motors really shows. This is not your typical garage; it is very professional, very clean and COVID rules are taken seriously. Can’t fault them!Jack Outterside2/13/2021Fab service brilliant staff, my car went in for major service and mot lots of clutch issues but Adrian was fab explained all work needed doing and why even showed me the parts lent me the use of the hire car while the car was in for 3 days constant contact from the guys at the grange to let me know what was going on highly recommended.Sherrianne Cooke2/19/2018
- Used Monnington as was on holiday in Teignmouth and the van was playing up. Monnington was extremely helpful and efficient and repaired the van to get it road worthy to get us home to Buckinghamshire.Laura Summers8/16/2022I called up Monnington Motors out of the blue and asked them to check out a car I was hoping to buy. I dealt with Adrian who couldn’t have been more helpful. If I could give 10 stars I would. He arranged the whole thing super promptly, gave comprehensive account of his investigation and then was extremely on top of following up. He also charged a reasonable fee for his time. Strongly recommended.Simon Galbraith7/24/2019
- Friendly, efficient and great value for money. Really happy with the service they did on my wife’s BMW 4 series. Would have no hesitation taking our other vehicles here for service or repair. Thanks Adrian.Richard Fearn1/27/2019You know when everything goes right? And you know you’re in safe hands? Well, Monnington’s is that. Andy & Adrian were the best. Calm, confident & knowledgeable. My golf mk4 had 2 static faults that I couldn’t fix. Bish bash bosh they knew the problem & fixed it. Cost? Extremely reasonable! We’re all warry of being ripped of by a garage. Don’t be with these guys. They even did an little extra as 2 N95 tubes were a bit off. Sorted! Will I be back. Definitely. My Golfie is in safe hands. Thanks Adrian and Andy.Jason Blatch12/24/2022
- It is a bit tucked away and not on a bus route. But this is the only negative comment I can make and i have since discovered that they are very generous with courtesy cars. I have a 20 year old BMW which is my pride and joy. My wife has booked a place in the Valley of the Kings for me and the car to be buried. Not in the near future of course. It has done 205K miles, with the normal replacements but absolutely nothing major. Fantastic car (530D) The “fan” belt broke and it was towed to Monington Motors. We stay in Newton Abbot frequently but have not needed a garage. I am very fussy who works on this car and I can honestly say that I was very impressed with the garage team and the quality and speed of the work that was carried out. I would consider scheduling trips to Newton Abbot to coincide with servicing intervals. Very confident in their work. Like I have said I am very fussy who works on this car and I was absolutely confident. Thank you Adrian and team. LawrenceLawrence Patrick2/13/2020Just had my car MOT’d and it failed on the light which was priced at £720 for a new replacement. Adrian put me in touch with a used parts supplier which provided a replacement at a 1/3 of the price. He also kept in contact with me throughout the sourcing/fitting process. Great, straight forward customer service. I highly recommend Monnington Motors and Adrian is a credit to the company.Stuart Bickerton1/26/2024Absolutely fantastic customer service. I came to them with a mystery trouble other garages couldn’t suss. Problem diagnosed and fixed within 24 hours. Can’t fault the service I received. Very professional and efficient, highly recommended !Rhia Fowden1/04/2019

- Monnington were great – I had broken down in my automatic Audi stuck in park with handbrake on. They suggested a tow company that would be able to lift the car and drop in to them. They were very accommodating and understanding having the car stuck in the garage They were able to carry out the work needed and kept me updated with any information.tom edwards1/30/2023
- These guys really know their stuff and are pleasant and welcoming to boot. Can’t fault them and I will definitely return again in the future. Excellent service! Thank you for saving my S4 guys. Very much appreciated, Mick, Andy and Adrian. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Griff.Griff Graham Griffin4/13/2020These guys are heros :-0) We drove down from Lancaster to Devon on holiday only to have our VW Touareg breakdown on the first day of our holiday and on a Friday evening to boot!! Adrian at Monningtons came to our rescue and made an emergency repair slot for us on the following Monday morning and supplied a free courtesy car too. By Tuesday afternoon we had fully working car back and a holiday saved. I cannot praise them highly enough. Courteous, professional and genuinely friendly. They gave a first class, much needed repair service and were great value for money too. I just wish they were based up where we live. Thank you all once again. Mike, Penny and family.Michael Blackburn7/07/2022
- Having recently taken my car in for Bosch diagnostics I can only give them the highest praise. Nothing is too much trouble and Adrian Thompson will look after you really well. Spot on and 5 stars.

- I recently went down to Devon for a weekend holiday. I drive a VW and unfortunately it broke down. I quickly googled Local garages and Monnington Motors popped up as an option, I rang the garage and was warmly greeted which immediately put me at ease.
I was feeling panicky as I didnt really know what on earth I was going to do. I was travelling with my family and we were on route with a tight schedule.
I could not have been happier with how Monnington Motors dealt with my situation. They quickly organised to have my car taken to the garage and not only that they provided me and my family with a very good courtesy car. They said not to worry about a thing and that they would have the problem sorted. There front of desk staff could easily see that I was feeling anxious and dealt with me in the most professional way I could ever imagine. You hear horror stories about some establishments but this could not have been further from that. When it came to paying I was delighted with the quote and the only criticism I have is that sadly I live in Hampshire and they are in Devon. If they were local to me they would be mine, my families and definitely my friends preferred option as a garage. I felt compelled to review this garage as I think they do an extremely fantastic job and should be congratulated. No wonder they have been in business for so long. Long may it continue!!Peter Stevens3/11/2014What a great experience. A garage that I felt at ease in, while waiting for diagnostics on my car. Adrian was a great help and arranged for my car to be fixed the same day and then the icing on the cake was him sorting out a curtesy car to get me out of a pickle. Great service. My car is running like a dream. I’m going back for my Mot. Highly recommended.Kirsty Jenkins2/13/2019I have used these guys many times over the years and have always been very impressed. They are still my go-to Audi Independent despite the fact that I now live about 100 miles away. Most recently they did my timing belt, and fixed a couple of other issues that they found while they were in there. As always, Adrian was a pleasure to deal with and updated me whenever needed. In the past they found and fixed a front-end clunk on my Audi 80 that had defeated me (20 years DIY spannering), my nearest Independent (who is very good), and the local Audi Dealership before they got their hands on it. If only I’d gone there first…
Good mechanics, fair pricing and a pleasure to deal with. Use them.mcnile8/27/2022 - It is a bit tucked away and not on a bus route. But this is the only negative comment I can make and i have since discovered that they are very generous with courtesy cars.

LawrenceLawrence Patrick1/19/2020THANKYOU so much for all at Monnington Motors for the repair of my lovely van.

I’ll be back!Juanita Jones5/18/2023Excellent service 👏 I was very impressed with there Customer service , after 3 months backwards and forwards to a main dealer. I was recommended by a friend.
All my cars problems were sorted, I was kept up to date with progress, of fault finding. Not all garages do this!

Andy & Adrian. There work & customer service second to none.
Keith, volkswaggon CC.Keith Andrews4/02/2022 - Took our T4 to Adrian at Monnington Motors and feel we have to leave a review. The standard of service we received from the guys, Adrian and Darren, were second to none. They went out of their way to communicate with us, explained everything and took their time with our pride and joy. We will definitely use them again, not only for our t4 but Golf and daughters car too and have told our friends and family how great they were. Simply can’t recommend them highly enough. Roger and JoJo Hardwick9/07/2019
- Monnington Motors came to the rescue for us at short notice to replace our water pump when we were staying locally while on our way to Cornwall on holiday. They fitted us into their tight schedule and got us back on the road so our holiday wasn’t ruined. Excellent service. Thanks a lot guys.Philip Harvey9/13/2022Amazing work from Monnington Motors. They managed to fit me at very short notice and did a great job installing the Dashcam in my Audi. Adrian was always giving me updates about how the work was progressing and even found a way for me to could collect my car after hours. Definitely recommend!A. Pedro Carvalho8/22/2022
- I don’t usually write reviews but felt Monnington Motors deserve a mention. I was working in the area and I needed a service on my Audi as soon as possible as I do alot of driving with my job. I googled companies and came across Monnington Motors. I spoke to Adrian and he said it was no problem, he got my car booked in the next day. Steve was very helpful on the day, the work was done for a very reasonable price and my car washed. Being a lady on my own I often worry about ‘being taken for a ride’ but I needn’t have worried, the staff are genuine and honest. I would have no problem recommending this garage to anyone.Sue Cook2/13/2021We’ve been using Monnington Motors for over 20 yrs to Service & Maintain our vehicles. Excellent all round service & we wouldn’t go anywhere else. – Ashburton Taxis Ltd. ��Donna Wilson5/01/2018Incredible service from Monnington Motors. Cannot thank Adrian and his team enough enough for their help with repairing my car and dealing with my car’s warranty provider. I know it wasn’t easy but pulled out all the stops and I am pleased.Patrik Nicholls1/31/2022

Can’t fault them!Jack Outterside1/20/2021Took my skoda to them about an on going leak problem that other garages could not deal with they had it located and sorted within 20 mins. The manager and staff that i dealt with were great so cannot fault them at all if i lived in newton abbott i would certainly use all the time.lloydspark lloydspark5/23/2015Adrian is really helpful and gives good advice. Good service and fair prices.Andy Braund10/13/2020 - Thank you Adrian and team for keeping me informed and for great work on my SkodaJames Aldred11/16/2022Can’t fault these guys. Andy and the team have always been spot on. Been getting our car serviced here for years and it’s always top notch. Always a friendly approach and would recommend them to anyone.David Pemberton2/13/2015Really helpful team led by Adrian. Always lend me a courtesy car. Three recent examples of excellent service: gave me pictures of a specialist component to help me get it repaired rather than just shell out £1,000 for a replacement; gave me excellent contacts in the trade for a body repair and also a towbar; gave me good advice over the phone when I was in the Midlands with a brake pads warning light showing.David Trim4/02/2018

They the team. Paul,, Mike, Adrian and the rest of the fellows handled what was for us a traumatic set of problems was amazing and very much appreciated. YhetirRobert Hayward5/31/2016
- Monnington Motors were fantastic! We were on holiday in Devon and had driven from Denmark in our car when the battery died and the handle to the bonnet broke. Monnington Motors were extremely friendly and service minded. They fitted us in despite their busy schedule. They ordered the needed spare parts and changed the battery within 1,5 day and did an additional oil check and filled up with washer fluid and all for a very reasonable price. All in all great service.Emily Jane Thomsen7/28/2023Nice guys Always being greeted with a great smile, I must admit, the Monnington bros. have earned their place as one of the best in the area. Absolutely professional, super service, super people.davidfordham9/09/2014Took my newly purchased Lexus GS300 to the dealership to have some issues diagnosed. They quoted £1,400 to have brake and suspension issues fixed. One phonecall to Monnington Motors and they booked me in within 24 hours. £244 later and all issues fixed (and tested by myself) with a courteous and polite service I can safely say this is the best independent garage I have visited. Outstanding, cheap, exceptional service despite having over 40 cars in on the day, they got my car back to me within 24 hours. Highly recommended.A T1/31/2014
