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.

We explain the work in plain English

No jargon. No drama. If you want to know what the part does and why it has gone, we will tell you. If you just want it fixed, we will get on with it.

Independent, not a chain

No upsell scripts from a head office. No targets to push extras you do not need. The same mechanic looks after your car each time you come in.

Work that does not come back

Twelve-month parts-and-labour warranty on everything we fit. If anything we have done fails inside that window we put it right at our cost.

Local customers come back

Most of our work is repeat. People bring the next car. Their kids bring theirs. That only happens when you do the work properly the first time.

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

Electric and Hybrid

Routine servicing on EVs and hybrids. Regen braking, 12V auxiliary battery, cabin heat-pump checks and high-voltage isolation. We work on Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Toyota and Tesla. Battery health diagnostics included with every EV service.

From £119
03

Air Conditioning

Regas, leak detection and pollen filter on both standard R134a and the newer R1234yf systems. We check for leaks before we refill rather than just topping up and sending you on your way for it to fail again in a month.

From £79

We are not the cheapest garage in town and we do not pretend to be. What we are is honest, careful and slow to take shortcuts. If we tell you a job needs doing it is because it needs doing, and if we tell you it can wait it is because it can wait.

RECENT JOBS.
AND WHAT WE LEARNED.

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

Questions

THINGS PEOPLE ASK.

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

Can I wait while my car is tested?

You can. We have a small waiting area with proper coffee and Wi-Fi. An MOT takes around 45 to 60 minutes. If we find anything that needs attention we will speak to you in person before doing any further work.

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.
