About Steins Garage


Craig thought he would just mention, I can do a car pick up service, when there's a place to park my car, my route to work, Fisherrow end of Musselburgh, through Portobello then either up Portobello Rd or along Seafield Rd then Lochend or Leith Links (bottom rd), car pick up at 7am to avoid traffic,expect your car back at around 5pm, this will be fine for most types of repairs, just ask me Craig when you book please and thanks. With many years' experience in the MOT testing, servicing and repairs sector, Steins Garage is a long established family run business, offering reasonable pricing to customers throughout the local area.

The products Steins Garage use are quality for everyday use and can help keep motoring costs at a fair price. Steins Garage are FEMALE FRIENDLY. The garage knows Women are professional shoppers who can be demanding on occasion. Yet despite the undoubted value of their business few females enjoy their garage visits, because they worry about being baffled by jargon, patronised for being female or being overcharged. This leads to many women postponing their visits to garages until they have to and can be overly assertive when they do, for fear off being ripped off. This is not good for business nor is it a good basis for a long term customer relationship something Steins Garage are actively doing. Steins Garage have proved the garage is female friendly through the reviews section alone.

Dropped car off for MOT at 7. 30am, Steins phoned back mid-morning to say work complete. Staff friendly and also provided good advice. Will book car in for a service in the spring.
Emma K
Edinburgh
I booked my MOT 5 days before and they were able to offer me two great appointments early in the morning, meaning that I would get to work on time. My car needed two new tyres, and they were great value for money at x2 £45 +VAT. They also changed a headlight and this was all completed in under an hour! I was extremely impressed with the service and will be coming back here without a doubt next year. Highly recommended.
Response : Hi Emma,Thanks for the kind words of Steins Garage,we can sometimes do repairs this quickly,we were lucky our dedicated tyre guy Steven was here doing other tyres as he had 2 on his truck, enjoy your night,Kindest Regards Craig Stein of Steins Garage.

NOT and service today. First but certainly not the last time we'll use Steins. Always felt ripped off by the big boys and we are now fully committed to using this garage for any repairs/MOT/service in the future. Thanks for a great job.
Response : Hi Kenny,Thanks for the kind words of Steins Garage,Kindest Regards Craig Stein of Steins Garage.

MOT and service carried out for the second year running. Very easy business to deal with - no fuss, no drama, and very reasonable prices on both occasions used. From my experiences, I would highly recommend this garage.
Response : Hi & good evening, we are happy to help!

Service and MOT. Excellent friendly service and great value for money. Craig and his team make you feel valued and treat your car as if it were their own. A pleasant change in the current environment to feel that you are getting a fair deal in a highly competetive and often challenging market.

MOT, service and brakes fixed. Steins is very clean and organised, good customer service and put my faith back in a local garage. Will be taking my car back again.

I had some major repairs carried out as well as a MOT and Service, as a result it was quite costly but I was very happy with the level of customer service, friendliness and how everything was clearly explained. Thanks Craig.
Response : Hi Stuart,it was unfortunate that your car needed major works,but it is now upto date, Kindest Regards Craig.

Had Steins check over a leak, brakes and a faulty air conditioning unit. The guys are all really polite, know what they're doing and they won't charge for anything that didn't need doing. Anything that does need doing they gave a really good price for. All in all an excellent experience and will be back again.
Response : Thanks Luke,you are welcome anytime!

Abi Lawson

I would absolutely recommend Steins garage! Fast and efficient service! Stick to the quote and do not make up false issues. You can be assured if your are as clueless about cars that' you will not be ripped off. Craig is friendly and helpful and will keep you informed all the way. Even if no work is required! I'll continue to use in the future.
Response : Yes Abi,We are a very understanding garage!

Excellent service from Craig at Stein's, I have had Craig carry out work and repairs to my cars on several occasions and every time have been very satisfied. Most recently he carried out a service on my Yaris -his reply to my job posting was very quick, arrangements were made very quickly and easily by both phone and email to suit me ( posted job Thursday PM, booked in and completed on Monday AM). I was able to drop off the car early, beating traffic and causing minimal disruption to my day and collected it again the same day, early afternoon. Also I had originally requested a full service and MOT but in fact only needed a partial service without MOT and there was no issue with adjusting to my job requirements, the final cost also reflected this. Craig actually lowered his charge from the original and the revised quote, though I would have gladly paid the expected amount regardless. Friendly, reassuring, trustworthy mechanic and garage. He even remembered me from the last time I had used them, impressive given the timescale involved and the number of customers they clearly have. No unexpected costs, no attempts to push for unnecessary work. I will be using Stein's again and have no hesitation in recommending them to others should a need arise.Moreexpand_more

Just had front brake pads replaced at Steins with Brembo ones for a good price. Very good communication and honest diagnosis from Craig. Went to another garage first who told me I needed new brake discs as well. Craig said although the discs were slightly worn, they certainly didn't need replacing! I knew this much as I do have some knowledge about cars but not the experience to do the job myself to a professional standard. Also showed me the older pads and how worn out they were. Will certainly be using this garage for all future motoring services/mot's etc. And also like the fact that I could specify the exact parts/makes I want. Glad to have found an honest garage in Edinburgh. Highly recommended!Moreexpand_more
Response : Hi Ziggy,Thanks for review,I really appreciate it,See you next time! Kindest Regards Craig.
Ross McDonald

I reached out to Steins garage after being let down by a few of the larger garages around edinburgh for a service and mot. From the start the service I received exceptional professional service. From arranging when best to service my car around my schedule to completing the service and MOT and having my car ready for collection well before I was originally advised of when I dropped the car off. I would highly recommend this garage to everyone and will be definitely using the garage again.
Response : Hi Good evening Ross,Thanks I'm happy to help you out Sir!
Rhonda Robertson

First time using this garage and was made to feel like a valued customer and welcome at the garage. Craig is very friendly and approachable, carried out the work I needed at an excellent price and very quickly as I was waiting. Would definitely take my car back for future work and recommend to other people.
Response : Thanks Rhonda,thanks for your kind words!

I rang Craig up after my failed to start. He immediately accommodated my problem and said he would take a look. I managed to get the car to the garage on Gordon street and left it with him for the day. He explained everything he was going to be doing to the car in detail. The next day he had sorted the initial problem, car was back to running again. Craig charged a very reasonable price for the excellent job he carried out. He is a very knowledgable and highly skilled mechanic and can not recommend him enough. If you are looking for someone experienced, skilful and that won't rip you off then Craig at Stein Motors is your guy.
Response : Happy to be of help Sir,Kindest Regards Craig Stein of Steins Garage.

Thanks to Craig for service above and beyond the call of duty today. I had a problem tracking down my MOT (not from Steins) and was really stuck. However, Craig promised to do a little detective work and was as good as his word. He found the MOT history and rang me back. Can't thank you enough Craig - it was really cheering to speak to someone helpful and thorough. I'll be recommending you to my Edinburgh friends - and anyone else.
Response : Hi Michelle,I'm glad I helped you out today,Kindest Regards Craig.

I needed a load of work doing on my car so put it into stiens who I had never used before. The service, price and communication was outstanding and it is a place that you know work being done is to the absolutely highest standard by people that you can trust. I can not recommend them highly enough and wouldn't go anywhere else in Edinburgh now.
Response : Hi Chris,look after the car on your long trips Sir!
