Blackfriars Auto Services

Time flies when you are keeping the wheels turning! It feels like just yesterday we opened the workshop doors at Unit 2 on the Blackfriars Trading Estate here in Nailsea. This month, we are officially celebrating an incredible milestone: 5 whole years of Blackfriars Auto Services!
From day one, our goal was simple: to provide Nailsea and our neighbouring communities in North Somerset—from Backwell and Clevedon to Wraxall and Yatton—with reliable, expert, and entirely trustworthy vehicle care. Whether it’s an annual MOT, a routine service, a tricky mechanical issue, or keeping you cool with air-con re-gas, we’ve dedicated the last half-decade to keeping you safe on the road.
But we didn’t reach this milestone alone. This celebration is entirely about you—our amazing customers.

Let's face it: getting your car's MOT done can feel like a last-minute scramble. You check the expiry date, panic, and then race to find an available slot at a garage. But what if there was a better way? Booking your MOT with a three-week lead time is the perfect sweet spot for avoiding stress and ensuring your car stays road legal and safe.

We are delighted to be celebrating 4 years of Blackfriars Auto Services on 16 August.
We would like to thank all our amazing customers, our suppliers, and the fantastic team here at the workshops and to everyone who supports us.
We thought you might like to see just a few examples of the rave reviews we receive. We are so proud of our 45, 5-star Google Reviews!
“Great friendly service, will use again!”
“Well worth a visit to Blackfriars. A happy, competent, and kind garage that is second to none. Thank you,”
“Fantastic experience! Had problems with my BMW that not even the dealer could identify. Lee worked patiently to identify and resolve the issue and get it through the MOT. Thanks, Nicky and Lee!”
“I see why it’s this garage only has 5 stars. Absolutely lovely receptionist! Really knowledgeable and friendly. Bonus points if you bring your dog!! Really speedy service even asked if I needed it for a specific time. As a woman going there, I did not feel unsafe or ripped off at all! This will be my regular garage for anything I need doing from now on! Thank you very much everyone”
“Fantastic service from the team here. They were able to diagnose the problem and fix it quickly. Very good pricing and the team were honest about every step. Will definitely be coming back for any future issues, MOTs and servicing!”
“You'll always get an honest, reliable, and friendly service from Blackfriars. My MOT, service and add ons were all dealt with within a day.”
“Make this your go-to garage, you won't be disappointed”

“They're good people here, always answer the phone, happy to give advice and explain things. They gave me some good money-saving advice about buying a recon part- which worked out really well.”
“Great garage on my doorstep. Excellent service and very trustworthy, wouldn't go anywhere else.”
“I love this garage! I brought in my Nissan with a broken undercarriage, and they fixed it on the spot. What sets this garage apart is their honesty. They never try to overcharge; instead, they always recommend the best and most cost-effective solutions. This is why I will always return to this garage.”

If you would like any help with an MOT, servicing or repair, please give us a call on 01275 853708 and we will be delighted to help!

On 8 May 2025, we mark the historic 80th anniversary of VE Day, with the peoples, families and communities of our great nation coming together to unite and celebrate 80 years of peace since the end of World War II in Europe that so many millions paid the ultimate sacrificed to achieve it.
VE Day 80 is not only a tribute to those who fought for the freedom we all enjoy today, but also a powerful reminder of the resilience and unity that have defined our country ever since.
We encourage everyone to take part and gather in the streets, gardens, town and city halls, clubs and pubs, and at home too, and be part of this anniversary providing a day of joy, reflection, and celebration, as part of the Commonwealth’s 2.4 billion people, reaffirming our commitment to world peace, ensuring future generations understand and cherish its value.
At 9am Town Criers will undertake the VE Day Proclamation as the VE Day 80 flags are raised, and at 12noon, Pipers will play a unique tune especially written for the occasion entitled ‘Celebratum’ from the top of the UK’s four highest Peaks and at 6.30pm, Cathedrals and Churches will ring out in united celebration throughout the nation, and at 9.30pm over one thousand beacons and hundreds of Lamp Lights of Peace will shine throughout the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, with the flames from them both, representing the ‘light of peace’ that emerged from the dreadful darkness of war, along with the nation coming together in city and town squares to village greens, and all other manner of locations at this special and unique one moment in time, and sing the great British Hymn ‘I Vow To Thee My Country, standing side by side in gratitude, honouring the many sacrifices that secured our freedom.
“Together, we honour the past and celebrate a future built on unity, hope, love and peace"
We will be open as usual on Thursday and we will be observing the 2 minute silence at 12 noon.
