I am writing to let you know that I was very, very pleased with the service I received from Apex Vehicle Repair. Although it was only a minor piece of work, it was carried out with conscientious professionalism. This, coupled with the cheerful, helpful people I encountered when dealing with Apex over the phone, made for a very pleasant experience overall. This unfortunately is a rare occurrence when dealing with garage repairs, if only more people took at leaf out of the Apex book!' (A Powell. Hewlett Packard)

'Your help and kindness after my accident was really beyond the call of duty, and the care you have given to the restoration of my VW has been first class. I recommend you to everyone' (C Cheatham)

'I just wanted to let you know what a fantastic job Sarah and Lyn are doing. They could not have been more helpful. They were always friendly and professional and never once failed to phone me back when asked to - in fact most of the time pro-actively telephoned me with progress.

When you've had an accident it's already upsetting and a lot of hassle - Sarah and Lyn did their utmost to ensure that with Apex at least, any further trouble was minimised and I knew their advice could be relied upon.
Please pass on my thanks once again, and I just wanted to email you to ensure they get the recognition they so thoroughly deserve.' (L Joslin)

'And thank YOU for not giving me a single complaint in the whole time you have carried out work on our behalf. You should get an award. If all repairers dealt with repairs in the same way as your company had, I would most definitely be out of a job' (J Barnetson, Albany Assistance)

Company Profile APEX VEHICLE REPAIR CENTRE LTD was incorporated in April 1994 to meet the growing demand for professional car body repairers in the Thames Valley at that time. Wholly and equally owned by the same two directors who founded the company, Trevor Prince and Jonathan Bryce, Apex was based on a vision of a bodyshop run with honesty and integrity. Firmly established for nearly sixteen years, we have a solid reputation for professionalism, quality repairs, excellent communication skills, an understanding of customers' needs based on experience and a strong focus on customer service and care.

Within that time, Apex has received many awards and accolades, such as Small Business of the Year, RMI QC, BS EN ISO 9001:2000 and our latest accreditation, the PAS125:2007 Kitemark, awarded by the British Standards Institute.
