Time flies when you are keeping the wheels turning! It feels like just yesterday we opened the workshop doors at Unit 2 on the Blackfriars Trading Estate here in Nailsea. This month, we are officially celebrating an incredible milestone:

5 whole years of Blackfriars Auto Services!

From day one, our goal was simple: to provide Nailsea and our neighbouring communities in North Somerset—from Backwell and Clevedon to Wraxall and Yatton—with reliable, expert, and entirely trustworthy vehicle care. Whether it’s an annual MOT, a routine service, a tricky mechanical issue, or keeping you cool with air-con re-gas, we’ve dedicated the last half-decade to keeping you safe on the road.

But we didn’t reach this milestone alone. This celebration is entirely about you—our amazing customers.

Why Our Customers Drive Our Passion

Every squeak we’ve diagnosed, every tyre we’ve changed, and every vehicle we’ve handed back running like a dream has been built on a foundation of honest customer service. We know that finding a garage you truly trust can be a challenge. That’s why we treat every car and van that enters our workshop as if it were our own.

Nothing makes the hard work more worthwhile than when our community takes a moment to share their experiences. To celebrate our 5th anniversary, we wanted to highlight a few of the outstanding 5-star Google reviews that have kept us smiling over the years:

Here are just a few of our 52 5-star Google reviews…..

“Nicky and Lee are absolute stars. Every time we use their service we are more and more amazed by the friendliness, honesty, and amazing professionalism. We would recommend nowhere else”!!! -Kate W

“Fantastic experience! Had problems with my BMW that not even the dealer could identify. Lee worked patiently to identify and resolve the issue and get it through the MOT. Thanks Nicky and Lee”! -Andrew P

"First class service" "I have used Blackfriars for my family's MOTs and servicing for several years now. They are always incredibly professional, prompt, and completely transparent about costs. It's rare to find a team this honest and accommodating. Highly recommend them to anyone in the North Somerset area!" — David M

"Brilliant local garage" " Took my campervan in for a full service and MOT. The team kept me updated throughout the day, gave clear advice on what needed doing immediately and what could wait, and the price was very fair. A gem of a local business." — Sarah T.

Looking Ahead to the Next 5 Years

Whether you drive a petrol, diesel, or hybrid vehicle, technology is changing fast, and our team of experienced technicians is continually evolving right along with it. While the tech updates, our core values will stay exactly the same: high-quality workmanship, transparent pricing, and a friendly, jargon-free chat whenever you visit.

To everyone who has trusted us with their vehicles over the last 5 years—thank you. You are the heartbeat of Blackfriars Auto Services, and we look forward to looking after you and your cars for many more miles and years to come!
