OUR TEAM
Miles
Miles is the 3rd generation in his family to have run Brownings Garage. He has worked here in Angel, Islington for 20 years and pushed the workshop redevelopment through. Training has been through Frank Massey (ADS), James Dillon (Technical Topics) and Bosch. He has worked on and repaired a wide spectrum of cars over the years, from vintage Bentley’s through to the latest offerings from VM’s. He raced in the Benjafield 24 hour (his team finishing 5th), the Goodwood sprint in April 2015 and will stubble race in September this year. His favorite jobs are electrical fault finding and engine management system problems.
Gary
Originally from Marlborough, Gary has been a technician for 11 years, completing his apprenticeship on cars and HGV’s. He joined the Brownings team in February 2011 and grabs every Land Rover/Range Rover that we have in. He loves bicycles and was in his element at the Benjafield 24 hour race in Portugal. He used to be a county long distance runner for Wiltshire. His claim to fame is that he was runner up for the milky bar kid advert 21 years ago.
Matt
Matt joined in May 2015 as a workshop controller (you’ll probably speak to him when you phone). Originally from Sydney, he started his career as a technician for 5 years with Audi and then moved onto become a parts advisor. We had worked with Matt ordering bits from his old firm and were impressed by his efficiency and accuracy (some parts advisors are a breed unto themselves) and he has become an invaluable team member. Strangely for an Australian he has no interest in Cricket or Rugby.

I have been using Brownings for 15 years for both annual mot/service and other repairs/tweaks on a variety of vehicles. The staff are lovely and can offer advice on all things ' motoring ' as well as fitting me in at a moments notice for a general check if I'm going on a long journey. They are very professional and friendly and I think they are
brill ! Highly recommended

I have been using Brownings for over 5 years and i have to say they are fantastic. No job has been too small or to big. The garage its self is immaculate and that says a lot about how they would look after your car. Keep up the great work and Thank you once again.

Nice, professional. Dropped in to the garage as my car started making an odd beeping noise when I braked. The team were booked up but did me a massive favour by taking a look at my car. I'd never been to the garage, and didn't have loads of work done, but they were super friendly, courteous, thorough and went out of their way to help me. I'm not used to garages, but I was really impressed by their professionalism and courteousness and I got the sense that they were reliable and thorough. They said it's family owned business with history, and I felt that - I felt it was a business with heart. It's also quite beautifully situated and airy. Thank you!

Excellent customer service, they made an appointment with us quickly and professionally. They thoroughly checked the car and highlighted issues, that we had suspected were there, but other garages had missed. They were honest and really easy to deal with, could not recommend higher.
