Google Review

“Got to know Northwest through another trader — needed key programming for a Volkswagen. Never looked back since. Probably one of the best things to happen to us as a car dealer. Reliable, knowledgeable and they do not let you down. If anyone needs anything doing to Volkswagen or Mercedes cars, do not hesitate to contact them.”

“I contacted them late on Saturday evening about my 2023 Mini Cooper head unit not working. Many people said it could not be done or wanted a ridiculous amount. Northwest responded ASAP, kept me updated, managed expectations and still sorted the issue. Amazing experience — highly recommend.”

Google Review

“I had a selector issue on my Golf Mk8, along with faults for the collision sensor and SOS system. North West Car Coding updated the software and cured both sensor issues, reset my service light and sorted everything properly. An absolute gentleman, a true master of diagnosis and a proper problem solver. Not many tradesmen operate like this anymore.”
