About Us
I always had a love for anything with a engine from a very young age, I served my apprenticeship in a main dealership gaining the best diagnostic techniques available.

This is also reflected in saving my customers thousands of pounds from other garage quotes as there are so many repair options on today's modern cars.

Car Servicing in Southampton – Expert Garages, No Upfront Payment
Southampton’s roads work hard year round. The M27, M3 & M271 corridors feed the docks and city centre and can snarl at peak times or during overnight works, so staying on top of servicing helps you avoid breakdowns when traffic is slow moving. As a major cruise port with five terminals, weekend turnaround days bring surges around the Docks and city approaches and the Southampton International Boat Show draws large crowds to Mayflower Park every September, affecting parking and local routes.
All of this means a reliable car is a must. And that means finding a great local garage to provide expert servicing and repairs.
