Questions
Frequently asked questions
What we get asked at the counter about prices, quotes and what happens when a job turns out to be bigger than it looked.
Always. You get a written quote before a spanner comes out, and if we find something else while the car is up, we stop and ring you. Nothing is done that you have not agreed to.
Yes, on site, and you can book a service and an MOT on the same morning. If the car fails, we quote the repair separately and the retest is free within ten working days.
We keep two, free for any job booked to last more than half a day. Ask for one when you book, tell us your licence details, and we will have it ready.
No. We service to the manufacturer schedule using parts that match the original specification, and we stamp the book. An independent garage servicing your car keeps the warranty intact.
We keep them, labelled, until you have collected the car. If a part was changed you can look at why. Anything you do not want to take away we recycle.

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.”
David James
Marbury
“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.”
