Huge thanks to Elliot and the team. Unusual fault on my Lamborghini Spyder roof fixed in a timely and efficient manner. Fabric cleaned and treated, now looking brand new. Fully recommend CarHoods Northern to anyone and well worth travelling a distance to.

After no-one locally would even attempt to look at the roof problem on our RS5, we found these guys online. One phone call and a 2 hour drive later we arrived at their garage. Both lads were welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. After explaining the problem they knew exactly how to solve it. All parts were in stock and 2 hours later we had a working roof again. The total charge was no where near what we thought it was going to be so that was also a massive bonus. A huge 5 stars from us and will definitely be a returning customer.
Many thanks

Had a rear boot seal fitted on my Audi A5 convertible. Whole experience with Elliot was super smooth. He explained exactly what the problem was and gave a clear time frame for the work to be completed. The Job was completed as promised and I would have no qualms about returning to Carhoods for any future issues. Many thanks Neal

Elliot went above and beyond to make this happen for me.
I bought this vehicle as my dad’s dream car, and we needed a red roof fitted as it didn’t come with the original spec. The work was done to an incredibly high standard — everything was handled professionally from start to finish.
More importantly, Elliot really went the extra mile to make sure the whole experience was perfect, especially for the day I surprised my dad with the car.
I couldn’t recommend them highly enough — true professionals, great value for money, and I’ll definitely be coming back for any future work.
