Testimonials
What drivers say afterwards
Reviews left by people who brought a car in, paid what they were quoted, and came back the next year.
“Quoted £240, charged £240. First garage in years that has managed it.”

“They showed me the worn pads on the bench and explained what I was looking at.”
Daniel Harnes
Kiln Road
“My engine light had been on for a month and two places had guessed at it. Axle & Co put it on the reader, found a split hose, and rang me with the price before doing anything. Home by four with a bill under a hundred pounds.”
Maria Clayton

Advice
Worth knowing
before your next service
Plain answers to the questions drivers ask us at the counter, written down so you can read them before you book.
What actually happens in an interim service
An interim service is not half a service. It is the short list of things that wear out twice as fast as everything else.
The MOT advisories worth fixing now, and the ones that can wait
An advisory is not a failure. Some of them are a bill you can plan for, and two of them are a failure next year.
Why the engine light comes on, and what we do about it
The code is where the diagnosis starts, not where it finishes. A reader costs twenty pounds and tells you almost nothing on its own.
When to replace tyres, and how to read the date on them
Tread depth is the obvious number. Age, uneven wear and the four digits on the sidewall matter almost as much.
Brake pads and discs: what wears out first
Pads are consumable, discs are not quite. Knowing which is which is the difference between a hundred pounds and three.
