Auto Matt

Auto Matt Auto Matt Garage offers all aspects of car and motorbike repair and servicing to the highest standards, including MOT testing, without the big garage price.

Proud to be the top rated garage in the Petersfield area. Auto Matt Garage first opened its doors to the public in 2015 after Matt Bartlett became disillusioned with the way the Motor Trade was moving. Matt started out in the Motor Trade in 1996 as an apprentice in an independent Rover Specialist. After he finished his apprenticeship he moved to SE Thomas in Godalming, a Citroen Dealership. In 200

3 Matt moved to the Peugeot Main Dealer in Haslemere, Concours Motor Co. where he was employed as a diagnostic technician until the garage closed. For the next 8 years Matt then worked for an independent garage in Guildford, Fox's of Guildford and became an MOT Tester. It was during this time in Guildford that he realized that independent garages were so far behind modern trends in the way they did business. As time progressed Matt became more and more frustrated at his bosses reluctance to move the business forward, he quit! Matt then started Auto Matt. Right from the outset Matt was insistent on educating his customers so that they can make more informed decisions rather than emotional ones when it comes to repairing their cars. Another core principle at Auto Matt Garage is to use technology, so when there is an issue with customers cars they will use photos and videos to explain what's wrong, and show where their car needs attention. This concept is also used to let Auto Matt's customers know what a good part looks like against a bad one. This ethos has stood Auto Matt well, and because of their open and informative approach to what's needed, and what's not, has gained them a good following and customer base.

The heatwave may have gone, but did it expose a tired air conditioning system? 🌞❄️

We've topped up and re-gassed plenty of customer cars this week after they discovered their air con wasn't quite as cool as they thought.

If your car was blowing more disappointment than cold air, now's the perfect time to get it checked before the next warm spell arrives.

One of the most expensive phrases in motoring:

“I’ll leave it another couple of weeks.”

Most major repairs start as something small:

• A slight vibration
• A warning light
• A strange noise
• Tyres wearing unevenly
• Battery getting weaker

The earlier problems are diagnosed, the easier - and usually cheaper - they are to sort.

At Auto Matt we’re big believers in preventative maintenance and proper diagnostics, not guesswork.

If your car doesn’t feel quite right, get it checked before a small issue becomes a recovery truck situation.

Big thanks to James for the great review 👊

His Audi A4 Avant came in for front suspension work on both sides, and we made sure the whole process was smooth, clear, and hassle-free from start to finish.

Even better, the job took less time than expected… so we knocked the bill down accordingly.

Fair pricing, honest advice, and solid work. That’s how we do things at Auto Matt.

Serious jobs need proper access.

This van’s up on one of our BendPak two-post lifts, giving us full underside access and the height we need to work safely and properly. It’s built to handle vehicles like this without compromise, so we can position it exactly where we need and get straight into the job.

Front end stripped back and no guesswork. We’re into the structure, checking everything behind the panel and putting it right where it should be. This is the level of work we’re known for when it needs doing properly.
