About

A local garage. A team you can trust.

Our workshop sits on Blucher Road in Killingworth, and between us we have over 30 years of combined experience.

We're a close-knit team who take pride in looking after our customers and their cars. Whether it's a routine MOT, servicing or repairs, we'll always explain what needs doing, why it matters and what it'll cost before any work goes ahead.

No unnecessary work. No unexpected surprises. Just straightforward advice and a job done properly.

How we work

Three things we stick to

No scripts and no sales pitch. This is a workshop for everyday cars, the school run, the commute, the car that simply has to keep going, and this is how we treat every one that comes through the door.

  1. 01

    We explain before we replace

    A fault code or a new noise is only the start of the conversation. We tell you what we actually found, what it means for your car in plain English, and what your options are. Then it is your call.

  2. 02

    We agree the price first

    Our starting prices are on this site, so there are no nasty surprises waiting for you. We confirm the exact total for your car before anything is booked, and we come and ask if something else needs doing.

  3. 03

    We talk like people

    No assumed knowledge and no pressure. If you would rather talk it through on the phone than type a message, that is just as good. Ask us to explain something twice and we will.

What we do all day

MOT
Class 4 MOT testing for most cars and light vans, with a clear explanation of any advisories or failure items.
Car servicing
Oil and filter changes through to a major service, with the work listed in plain English before you book.
Diagnostics
Fault-code scans and up to an hour of investigation when a warning light or running problem needs proper testing.
Repairs & maintenance
Brakes, suspension, clutch, cooling, exhausts and electrical faults, quoted against your actual vehicle.

Between us we have seen most of what a car can throw at you, so nothing here is a first for us. Prices for each of these are published on the prices page. Repair work is quoted for your vehicle.
