Old cars, new cars — we love them all

A 30-year-old classic deserves the same care as a car fresh off the forecourt. Our team has the experience (and the wiring diagrams) for both.

Modern engines ask a lot of their oil, filters and diagnostics. Older cars ask a lot of the person holding the spanner. Our IMI and City & Guilds trained team combines decades of hands-on experience with advanced, OE-level diagnostic equipment — carburettors to common rails, distributors to drive-by-wire.

Older & classic cars

A car worth keeping is worth keeping right. We take time with older vehicles — sympathetic servicing, careful sourcing of parts, and honest advice about what genuinely needs attention.

  • Servicing to keep it usable, not just pretty
  • Brakes, cooling, fuel and electrics revived properly
  • MOT testing with an understanding of what’s era-correct
  • We’ll never ‘modernise’ a car past the point of sense

Newer cars

New cars deserve more than a quick once-over. We follow manufacturer schedules to the letter, protecting your warranty while costing you far less than a franchised dealer.

  • Manufacturer-schedule servicing that keeps warranty intact
  • Advanced OE-level diagnostics for complex systems
  • Timing belt, wet belt and chain intervals, DPF-aware maintenance
  • Service records stamped and documented

Petrol & diesel is our specialism. It’s where our experience and tooling go deepest — every era of combustion engine, from carburetted classics to the latest common-rail turbos.
