After back to back bad mechanics in the city I was glad to get the recommendation for here. I needed a whole new clutch system and they delivered it timely and with a fair price. I’ll be coming back, hopefully outwith MoT month again.

Full clutch replacement from crank seal to gearbox.
Thanks to the guys at the garage my car is back in squeal free operation, which was no small job being a Mazda 2.2 diesel. The staff are always friendly and I've been back again and again. I've recommended them to many of my friends and they've always been there to save the day.

Whilst visiting family in Edinburgh, one of the coil springs broke on my car. I tried other garages before Carnies and was quoted 3 to 6 weeks before they could do the work. I phoned Carnies and was asked to bring it in the next morning, which was good as I was traveling 400 miles home the next morning. I got a quote and an estimate that it should be ready by lunch time. The work was completed in 2 hours and the cost was over £45 cheaper due to the cost of the 2 coils. Very nice people, very professional and a pleasure to do business with.

I have bought several cars over the years from Kevan and continue to go back for all servicing and MOT. He and his team always get the job done. They are polite and will go the extra mile for customers. If there is an issue (rarely and usually with parts) they contact me and give a clear timescale. Been going here 24 years and cannot see why anyone would go elsewhere. A++++

Was quoted almost £300 for work none of which was necessary by a national chain. Got Carnies name from Edinburgh Trusted Trader. In fact no parts were needed only a small adjustment. Now I have someone trustworthy who I can go back to next year for a service and MOT. Appreciated - thank you very much.

Staff are always polite, both office and garage staff. The mechanics explain any issues and are prompt with the work, never had an issues after any completed work, and its easy to book in
The staff always make space if they can!

I have had my car back and forth for several years for M.O.T's, and have always found this garage very fair financially compared to others previously.

I certainly will return, and will promote the excellent service of all staff at the garage to family and friends.

I contacted Carnies after another company provided me with an unsatisfactory explanation for a rattle that had developed after they had carried out some work on my car.

Kevan inspected my car while I waited and found that the rattle had been caused by a loose nut in the area the previous company had repaired. The job took around 10 minutes.

I'll be using Carnies again in future. I found them friendly, informative, efficient and trust worthy. Highly recommended.

Carnies has done a lot of work into my car, first time was my track rod end. They fixed it straightaway at an affordable price. Second time I took my car to another garage and my car failed MOT, I was quoted £890 to fix it. After bringing it to Carnies, they checked it all over and turned out half the stuff didn’t need done! They fixed all the issues, and re MOTed it and it was less than £500. Fab, fast and reliable service. Will definitely be back.

We're else would I get a free sausage roll, a jam doughnut and cup of coffee while I wait??....yes checked my invoice and deffenetly not billed for them lol!.
Fantastic garage that will have you going back again and again. Very Friendly bunch, you even get included in the work place banter! Ha ha!
I own an older vehicle, and these guys are constantly sourcing parts for me, and patching the old girl up.
Keeping her road worthy.
What you see is what you get at this place, hard working knowledgeable guys, do a great job time and time again.
They've gone above and beyond on a couple of occasions for me, really helping me out.
Highly recommended.

First time I have used Carnie’s and will definitely be back! I was very impressed by the service I received today when I took my car in for its MOT. It was done quickly and efficiently and Kevin was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and advised me (in simple terms I could understand) what some of the ongoing ‘niggles’ I have with the car are, why they are happening and how they can be resolved.
Would highly recommend.

Very helpful replacing a trashed wing mirror. Their quote was almost 4 times cheaper than another. The colour match isn't perfect, but who cares when done quickly, efficiently and at such a competitive price.

Have used Carnies garage fore about 6 years now and never once have I thought that I was being “done” Kevin and his team are friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Not knowing anything about cars I rely on them to diagnose and fix in the fairest and most economical way. They have always down this for me. Would recommend them for friendly local car services.
Keep up the good work. Cheers

I took my car to the garage for its annual service and from start to finish the customer service received was spot on. From getting it booked in a couple weeks before, to turning up on the booked day. The service was completed quickly and efficiently with no hassle and any other factors that came up were clearly communicated to me and resolved. Would recommend Carnies for efficient service and good value for money too.

Edinburgh, Tuesday the 19th of February.
I am a new customer at the firm. M.O.T. was due and a repair to the steering rack, plus "bits and bobs".
My wife had "discovered" this very good garage by pure coincidence on the Trusted Trader of Edinburgh webpage while mainly seeking for a plumber and I have not regretted to give it a go. The test was conducted with no fuss at all, they also fitted in with the date that was most suitable to me. Work was completed rather swiftly with no delays.
This guys have all the qualities some would expect when dealing with the public, you name it and I am certainly not attempting to over praising them by making such a statement, it is the pure truth.
To say the cost of the work done has been extremely reasonable it might be an understatement. When I had later visioned the bill at home I believed they had made a mistake, but at a closer inspection I came to understand there was no error. That was the true cost. Amazed, to say the least!!! I have been taken for a ride to the cleaners all this years with all implausible reasons given of why the repairs to my luxury vehicle always had to be so astronomically expensive and today I was presented with a bill for £112.00 pounds.
I am awarding them with five stars score and an A+++++ for they truly deserve it.
I do highly vouch this "Mechanics".

I took my camper van conversion in to get an MOT and Kev and the guys were brilliant. Was sweating a bit that it was going to be a write off but they made me feel much better about it all when they told me what needed done. Welded chassis beautifully, changed fuel filter and adjusted the brakes in no time at all and even let me hang around and learn a few things!

The age of my vehicle means that it will definitely require more work in the future, but I am now happy I have contact with a team of pros to keep me on the road. Highly recommended.

After a bad dealership experience (years ago) I tried Carnies as it was close to my workplace. I no longer work near by but the 25 mile drive is worth it. Routine servicing and larger repairs have been done and I have had no issues with any of it. Emergency repairs have been done as quickly as possible. The location is convenient to bus and tram services too. Prices are fair and appropriate. True it doesn't look like an upmarket marque dealership but then YOU end up paying for the expensive tiles on the floor and so on.

It is a shame I can only give five stars as they deserve six!

Highly recommend the Carnies Autocentre. The staff are friendly and trustworthy and really reasonably priced, especially compared to other garages.

The staff are really knowledgable and will give you an honest account of work that needs done.They kept me up to date on the progress of work being carried out and jobs was completed in reasonable time.

I have used them for bigger jobs such as getting cluch replaced as well as servicing and MOT's and would not take my car elsewhere.

We were recommended by a neighbour and on two occasions the service provided by Kevin and his Staff has been exemplary. On both of our cars high repair costs were quoted by two nationwide dealers. Carnies carried out the required repairs and provided MOT's at considerably less cost, in one case a third of the price quoted previously. This is one garage that will have our custom for many years to come. Thank you for a job well done,

Words fall short in expressing my appreciation to Carnies, the knowledge, professionalism and first class customer care I received was second to none. Furthermore going above and beyond in ordering parts from ebay as it is so difficult to get parts in the UK for a Chrysler not to mention fixing my very heavy cumbersome rear view mirror that would not stay up for love nor money (free of charge I may add) just proves my point on the exceptional customer service and value for money I received at Carnies I cannot thank you enough and HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO ANYONE that is looking for an honest reliable garage.

Been using this garage for over 15 years and have never had a single complaint. The one time they forgot to do something (a brake switch) they fixed it for free and never charged for the part either. It is a well run and friendly business who won't tell you want you hear just the truth. If you want an honest and good value service then look no further. Kevan and his team are excellent.

Have used these guys a good few times now and honestly can't say enough good things about them - great workmanship, they always call to let you know what needs done before doing it, source the best value-for-money parts rather than going with cheap rubbish or wildly overpriced gimmickry, and on top of that - the car always comes back FIXED. None of this coming back later because the problem persists!

I've used Carnies for a couple of years now, I wished I'd used them instead of the main dealers before that.
Great customer service trying to fit into my schedule rather than me fit in with them. The mechanic also takes time to explain what and why they're doing.
It's also very handy for dropping the car off and getting into town.
I'll be back :-)

As a female who doesn't know a lot about the service/maintenance of cars, Carnies always put my mind at ease and offer me excellent service.

I always trust that they are giving me the best advice and service that is available.

They offer a friendly and welcoming service and I often recommend them to others
