As the countdown to the end of 2025 commences, it’s time for us to celebrate our final Trust A Garage Top Work of the month! This month, the crown goes to Hitchin-based Auto Service and Tuning Centre Ltd.
Auto Service & Tuning Centre Ltd is an independent automotive garage based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, England. Established over 30 years ago, it has built a reputation for dealership-standard servicing, diagnostics, and repairs, serving customers across North Hertfordshire and neighbouring towns such as Letchworth, Baldock, Royston, and Stevenage. The business operates as a Bosch Car Service–approved garage, ensuring high technical and quality standards in line with Bosch’s Code of Practice.
Founded by Claudio Segameglio, the company began at 91A Bedford Road and, after 32 years of operation, relocated to a larger site at 42 Wilbury Way in 2023 to support expansion. The move enabled greater MOT capacity, an expanded workshop, and enhanced customer facilities, including larger parking and reception areas.
The centre provides comprehensive mechanical and electrical services: MOT testing, diagnostics, air-conditioning, brakes, clutches, timing belts, ADAS calibration, and hybrid or electric-vehicle maintenance. Though recognised specialists in German marques: BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volkswagen, and Mini, they handle all makes and engine types.
Auto Service & Tuning Centre promotes transparent, “jargon-free” communication and uses only high-quality or manufacturer-approved parts to maintain warranty compliance. Which could be why they have an amazing 4.91 stars out of five, from over 130 reviewers. Here’s what just a few of their happy customers have got to say:
"This garage is brilliant. They're super helpful, knowledgeable and professional. They really take pride in doing a great job and taking care of their customers. The new premises and waiting room is lovely too. I wouldn't want to take my car anywhere else!"

"Really helpful guys, very understanding and know their stuff. Fast, efficient, and at a great price. After visiting a few local places I went to these guys, I was hesitant because of the whole “Bosch” name, I expected them to be expensive - I’ll be honest - not only were they very reasonably priced, but they got my MOT done on the same day, despite the issues my car had with various wiring faults. Top quality, would recommend."

"I am so grateful to Ben & the team. Professional, friendly and so incredibly helpful. I was quoted for my timing belt at an official dealership. Phoned Ben and he has saved me a lot of money. Thank you."
