Magpie Automotive Solutions Reviews 

I had a major issue with Lane Departure camera on a Citroen C5 Air Cross. In short the car was due to go back after the end of the lease period and couldn't as the dash showed the fault. I was looking at a £850 plus bill from Citroen to replace the camera. Citroen failed to source the camera and I was stuck with the car indefinitely. I would have overrun my lease and was therefore looking at a full annual service plus MOT (all in I estimate I was looking at a bill of £2k) and that's IF Citroen could even get the part. I mean what if they took 6 months??

I got on to Dave at Magpie Autos and within a day had a new camera ready to go and it cost less than £400 new.

On installing the camera the fault did not clear, so I called Dave and this is where the awesome service just continued. Dave sent out a diagnostics tool and link to some software that enabled him to remote in, update firmware and get to the bottom of the problem. He also sent a spare camera just incase. This was all done with any messing about. Within about an hour of remote connecting the fault was resolved and I was able to hand the car back on schedule on 21/07/25....

Dave at Magpie Autos gave all the necessary support with clear instructions where a main dealer network had failed to even order the parts.. I would highly recommend Magpie Automotive Solutions. The customer service and prices are 100% spot on.

Website was easy to navigate, offering was clearly explained. Really quick service with my order, ordered Thursday afternoon and arrived Saturday. Good communication for order confirmation and dispatch confirmation.

Really friendly highly recommend quick easy process

I purchased a newly released 2024 Vauxhall Corsa Hybrid, which unfortunately was involved in an accident. The collision severely damaged the ABS pump, rendering it beyond repair. Due to the vehicle being a brand-new release, there was very limited information available on how to program a replacement module or carry out a hybrid crash reset.

David was incredibly helpful throughout a lengthy and technically challenging remote diagnostic process. He successfully virginised a used ABS ECU pump and programmed it to work seamlessly with the vehicle. On top of that, he also carried out a hybrid crash reset—something even main dealers were unable or unwilling to do.

David’s expertise in advanced diagnostics is truly impressive and goes far beyond standard dealership capabilities. I highly recommend his services to anyone needing specialist automotive diagnostic solutions.

I had an issue with the front radar sensor on a Peugeot 3008 hybrid. Magpie diagnosed and resolved the issue while I waited, they were very friendly and helpful and I definitely will be using them should I have any other diagnostics or coding issues.

David is dedicated to his work and will always try to find a solution.

I can’t recommend Magpie Autos highly enough. I needed the touchscreen replacing in my Mazda MX-5 as it had become delaminated and was frosting over and becoming unresponsive. David was very pleasant to deal with, very knowledgeable and great at communicating, taking trouble to ensure he had correctly understood all the issues before my visit. The job took around an hour and the screen is perfect. A quality outcome at a very competitive price. I would definitely use Magpie Autos again.

This company was fantastic! Good old-style service where they did exactly what they said they would, and in a short time. Chuffed to bits, because they charged me just a tenth of what I was quoted by the dealer..albeit I removed and refitted the receiver.. Could not recommend more highly.

Very good company, fix my issue with speakers in my car in 20 minutes which one I can’t fix for a few years.
