    Really friendly staff and very knowledgable mechanics. Have had several odd jobs done on my VW Beetle which were speedy and reasonably priced.

    You normally only have to wait behind one car to get petrol, and the attended fuelling is speedy. Selection of honey and other local goods available in the building where you make payment. Contactless and cash accepted.

    Always helpful, always greeted with a friendly smile. Recently had my car serviced and afterward one of the computer functions was unavailable. Simon went out of his way to help get to the bottom of the problem (way beyond) and even contacted a dealer he knew well to get the software issue resolved at the best possible price - and with the least inconvenience. Moreover, he did this even when... Read More

    Repaired two cars for me since we moved to the village recently. The first was to find and fix a very strange petrol leak. The other was discs and pads. Both jobs done on time and at a reasonable price. Great comms throughout and helpful and friendly staff. Cannot rate this garage highly enough.

    All nice and tidy with polite and helpful members of staff - Wil definitely use again and recommend to others.

WHY YOU NEED TO SERVICE YOUR CAR

1

Keep Your Family Safe: Don’t put you or your family in a life-threatening situation. Each year thousands of accidents could have been avoided had the owner serviced their vehicle.

2

Keep It Running Like New: Your car was intended to run like the day you bought it, servicing is essential, not only to prolong its life, but to ensure your safety.

3

Hidden Troubles: Forget failed MOTS. And, let’s not get started on those awful early morning breakdowns. Regular servicing keeps your car reliable. It reduces unseen problems and boosts the chance of your car passing its MOT.

4

Everyone Loves To Save Money: Because servicing catches problems before they become expensive, you save money. You’ll even save money by improving your miles per gallon too.

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN MY CAR NEEDS SERVICING?

If you travel between 10,000 and 20,000 miles, or it’s been a year since your last servicing, it’s time to get your vehicle serviced. Manufacturers recommend it.

Fortunately and more conveniently for you, you no longer have to have your car serviced at your main dealership either. Bring your vehicle to us and get an identical service for up to 60% cheaper!

Your Service Checklist

1

Lighting & Visibility – Your front and rear lighting is rigorously checked for optimal performance, as is your glass, wipers, exterior mirrors and registration plates. We leave nothing to chance.

2

Under Bonnet  – A full under bonnet inspection ensures no leaks and everything is working order. If necessary, we’ll replace service items such as your air filter, oil filter, sparks plugs or drive belts.

3

Vehicle Interior  – Your interior is as important as your exterior. So, all seat belts, horn, hazard lighting and vehicle controls are inspected. We’ll also check for any warning messages, and ensure the driver displays are correct. This includes analysing your vehicle computers for intermittent or permanent faults.

4

Steering, Drive & Suspension – All joints, gaiters and wheel bearings are extensively inspected, as well as your front and rear shock absorbers and road springs.

5

Braking – The importance of perfect brakes isn’t a secret. That’s why both front and rear brake components are checked and measured, allowing us to accurately report on their service life. Brakes save lives.

6

Under Vehicle – After your under trays are removed, the engine oil is drained and transmission checked for leaks.

7

Tyre Inspection – Your wheel health is vital. All road wheels and tyres are inspected for any issues and pressures adjusted prior to refitting. We’ll even check your spare wheel or inflation kit.

8

Final Checks – We’ll finish up with your brake fluid and antifreeze test, before filling your engine with new oil.

Keeping You In The Loop

We’re hardworking locals – born and bred. That’s why honesty is a huge part of our philosophy. With this in mind, our service is totally transparent. You’ll be kept in the loop with everything that’s going on with your vehicle.

We’ll never do anything to your vehicle without consulting you first.That’s a promise! If your car needs something unexpected, we’ll be in touch to discuss it with you first. You’ll never be hit with hidden costs.

How Long Does It Take?

The simple answer is around three hours for a full service with no additional work. However, as each car is unique, it may take longer. Either way, we’ll keep you up to date each step of the way.

Vehicle Collection

Forget having to arrange how you’ll get your vehicle to us, if you’re pushed for time we’ll collect your car and drop it back once the service is complete.

Courtesy Car Options

If you need a courtesy car, that’s no problem. We have a range of courtesy vehicles to keep you mobile whilst your vehicle is in our care. To reserve a courtesy car, just let our team know when you book your car service.
