The Work

EVERY CAR TREATED LIKE OURS.

Independent workshop, fitted out for everything from a routine service to a major repair. Honest diagnostics, fair quotes, and the same standard whether the car is two years old or twenty.

Why Us

FOUR REASONS
YOU'LL COME BACK.

Fair on parts pricing

We use OE-spec parts at trade price, not main-dealer price. The mark-up is sensible. If you have your own part we are happy to fit it for a labour-only charge.

Honest quotes, written down

Quote first, work second, payment when you collect the keys. If a job grows, we stop and ask before doing more. No surprises on the bill.

Manufacturer-level diagnostics

Live data tools that talk to all major makes the same way the main dealer does. We trace electrical and intermittent faults that other garages send away.

Decent waiting area

Proper coffee, fast Wi-Fi and chairs that do not punish your back. Or we can drop you home locally and bring you back when the keys are ready.

Servicing

THREE THINGS. DONE PROPERLY.

No upsell scripts. No mystery line items. Quote first, work second, payment when you collect the keys.

01

MOT Testing

DVSA approved Class 4 test bay. We test cars and light vans the way the regulations say they should be tested, no shortcuts. If you fail on something small we can usually sort it the same day and free retest within 10 working days.

From £40
02

Full Servicing

Interim, full or major service to manufacturer schedule. OE-spec oil, OE filters, plugs, and a stamp in the service book. Printed report of every check we did, with photos of anything that needs attention. We do not invent jobs.

From £149
03

Tyres and Wheel Alignment

Premium and budget brand tyres at trade price. Four-wheel alignment on a proper Hunter machine. Free puncture repair check before you commit to a new tyre, where a repair is safe and legal.

Tyres from £55 fitted
About

WHO WE ARE.

Every mechanic in the workshop started here as an apprentice. We have never poached a fully trained tech from another garage. It takes longer to grow the team this way but the standard ends up identical bay to bay, because everyone learned it the same way.

RECENT JOBS.
AND WHAT WE LEARNED.

Real cars on the ramp. Real fixes, photographed and explained. Honest about the awkward ones too.

22 March 2026 / Repair

DPF that was actually saveable

Passat with a DPF warning. Plenty of garages would have quoted a new unit. We forced a regen, drove it, monitored differential pressure. Cleaned it without removal.

Questions

THINGS PEOPLE ASK.

If your question is not here, just call us. Plain answers, no jargon.

Can I get my MOT done before it expires?

Yes. You can MOT a car up to one calendar month before the expiry date and keep the same renewal date. We recommend booking two to three weeks before to give yourself room if anything needs sorting.

When should the cambelt be changed?

Follow the manufacturer schedule. For most modern cars that is somewhere between 60,000 and 100,000 miles, or every 5 to 7 years, whichever comes first. We always replace the water pump and tensioner at the same time. It is cheaper than going back in twice.

Is there a warranty on the work?

Yes. Parts and labour are covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. If a part we have fitted fails inside that window we will replace it free of charge.

What if my car will not start to come in?

Call us. For local jobs we can usually arrange recovery at a fair rate. If you have breakdown cover, your provider will recover to a garage of your choice, so ask them to bring it to us.

Do you handle fleet work?

We do. Several local businesses use us for routine servicing, MOTs and tyre changes on their vans. Monthly invoicing available. Ask for a fleet rate sheet.

What payment methods do you take?

Card, cash, Apple Pay and bank transfer. For larger jobs we can arrange interest-free instalments through Payment Assist, subject to status. Ask when you collect the keys.
