The garage on Kiln Street
An independent repair garage and MOT test centre, run by the same family since 1994 (sample). All makes, plain prices, a phone call before any work.
Two ramps and a phone on the wall
The garage started in a rented unit with one ramp and a phone on the wall (sample). Today there are two ramps, a separate MOT bay and three mechanics, and the phone still rings before any work starts.
Most of our customers live within a few miles and bring every car they own. We would rather tell you a part can wait than sell you one you do not need.
