From the Workshop
RECENT JOBS.
AND WHAT WE LEARNED.
Real cars on the ramp. Real fixes, photographed and explained. Honest about the awkward ones too.
Astra failed on three things at once
Track rod end, indicator bulb, perished CV boot. Quoted to fix and retest same day. Customer was driving home by five.

Qashqai clutch that wasn't
Owner told the slip was the clutch going. Turned out to be a worn dual mass flywheel. Quoted the full job up front, no surprise add-ons.

Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost. Wet belt service is non-negotiable. Why we always book the water pump at the same time.

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.
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.
Photos of every job we open up
If we recommend a repair, we take a picture of the worn part and send it through before we touch anything. You see exactly what we have seen.
Servicing
THREE THINGS. DONE PROPERLY.
No upsell scripts. No mystery line items. Quote first, work second, payment when you collect the keys.
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
Brakes
Pads, discs, calipers, hoses, master cylinder. We measure pad thickness and disc wear on every car that comes in for any reason, and let you know when you have about 20 percent left. No surprise red lights on the dash.
From £129 per axle
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

Questions
THINGS PEOPLE ASK.
If your question is not here, just call us. Plain answers, no jargon.
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.
Will a service with you affect my manufacturer warranty?
No. Under the Block Exemption Regulation we can service your vehicle to the manufacturer schedule using equivalent parts, and your warranty stays intact. We stamp the service book and provide a written report.
Do you offer a courtesy car?
Subject to availability, yes. Ask when you book and we will let you know what we have free for the day. If we cannot offer one, we can usually drop you home locally and collect you when the car is ready.
How much is an MOT?
The DVSA sets the maximum MOT fee at £54.85 for a Class 4 car. We charge £40 as standard. If your vehicle fails we offer a free retest within 10 working days, provided the repair is done with us.
Do you do air conditioning regas?
We do, on both standard R134a systems and the newer R1234yf gas used on cars from 2017 onwards. A regas takes around 45 minutes. We will also check for leaks before refilling rather than just topping up.
Are quotes binding?
Our written quote is the price you pay, provided the job is what we quoted for. If we open up a wheel and find something else needs doing we will stop, send you a photo and a revised quote, and only continue with your approval.
