Fail

All repairs

How a job runs

The same five steps for an MOT, a service or a repair.

Book a slot

Send a booking request or ring the workshop. We confirm the day by phone or email.

Drop the car off

By 08:30 on the day, or drop the keys through the letterbox the night before.

We look and ring

A mechanic puts the car on the ramp and rings you with a written price, item by item.

You decide

Say yes or no to each item. Advisories can wait for another day.

Collect

Pay at the counter. The old parts are in a box in the boot, so you see what was changed.

An independent garage, not a dealer

We work on every make and model, petrol, diesel and hybrid. Servicing follows the maker’s schedule with parts of matching quality, so the car keeps its service history.
