How do I get to you from Potters Bar?

Reverie Autocare is at 57 Great North Road, Welwyn Garden City, AL8 7TL, on the B197 at Stanborough, just west of the A1(M).

From the centre of Potters Bar there are two main routes: up the A1000, about 8.8 miles, or by the A1(M), about 12.3 miles. Off-peak the drive takes about 19 minutes. At the morning rush it can take much longer: if you are aiming to arrive for 8.30am on a weekday, allow up to about 35 minutes. Check your route before you set off.

Can I get everything done in one trip?

That is how we plan it. Tell us everything the car needs when you enquire, and we will fit it into one visit where we can:

Servicing to the manufacturer’s schedule.
An MOT in our own Class 4 bay. If it is due soon, book it with the service.
Tyres and brakes, quoted for your car.
A warning light or a noise you want looked at. Describe it when you book so we can allow time to diagnose it.

Can I come on a Saturday?

Yes. We are open Saturday 8am to 1pm, as well as Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm. We are closed on Sundays. A Saturday morning booking means you do not lose a weekday; ask when you book whether your job fits into one.

What if I cannot wait for the car?

Collection and delivery and a courtesy car are available. Ask when you book whether they cover your address and suit your job.

If you drop the car off yourself, the nearest station to us is Welwyn Garden City, about 5 to 6 minutes by car or taxi and more than half an hour on foot.

If you would rather stay, there are three customer waiting areas, a co-working space with Wi-Fi, a multi-faith prayer room, a quiet room and Lavazza coffee.

Which cars do you work on?

We are an independent specialist for German cars and Jaguar Land Rover: BMW and MINI, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, SEAT and Škoda, and Land Rover and Range Rover.

How will I know what is happening while the car is with you?

You will not be round the corner, so we keep you informed wherever you are:

We test to prove the cause of a fault before any part is fitted.
We send you the evidence, with photos, and a written price, so there is no surprise invoice when you collect.
Nothing extra is done without your written approval.
We tell you when to expect your next update.

Do you work on electric and hybrid cars?

Yes. Electric and hybrid work is carried out by technicians qualified to work on electric and hybrid vehicles.
