Well… we did it.

And by “did it”, we mean came absolutely DEAD LAST in the Cambridge Dragon Boat Race.

Not second from last.
Not “we gave it a good go” last.
LAST last. 🏆😂

Turns out dressing 10 people as 118 118 does not make them remotely athletic.

Pat, our drummer, had absolutely NO rhythm whatsoever. Half the boat appeared to be paddling to different songs, we nearly capsized TWICE and at several points we’re fairly sure the main objective became simply making it back to dry land.

BUT… we didn’t capsize. 🙌🏼

And more importantly, our helm told us we were the funniest group they’ve ever had — which, considering we clearly weren’t taking home a trophy for speed, we’ll bloody take.

A massive thank you to everyone who donated, supported us and came along to cheer on the slowest boat in Cambridge. Most importantly, we did it all to raise money for Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust, which made the complete lack of sporting ability worthwhile. ❤️

Normal service will resume at Robbie’s tomorrow.

Although judging by yesterday’s performance, we strongly recommend bringing your car to us rather than anything water-based.

Robbie’s Garage — Haverhill’s largest garage. Cambridge’s slowest boat. 😂

DON’T FORGET — WE’RE CLOSED TOMORROW!

A very rare Saturday closure for Robbie’s Garage… and no it’s not Christmas.

Tomorrow the Robbie’s team are swapping spanners for paddles and taking part in the Cambridge Dragon Boat Race, raising money for Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust

With the weather looking… questionable we’ll be keeping you updated on socials throughout the day.

If there are no updates, please assume we’ve either:

1. Won.
2. Sunk.
3. Drowned.
4. Found the bar.

Wish us luck — I think we’re going to need it 😂

Back open as normal Monday!

Robbie’s is CLOSED Saturday 5th September.

Yes, you read that correctly. Robbie’s. Closed. On a Saturday.

Before anyone checks the calendar, no, it’s not Christmas. In fact, it’s still 111 days away 😂

Pretty sure the only Saturdays we’ve ever closed have been because Christmas has fallen on one, but we’re making an exception because Team Robbie’s is taking part in the Cambridge Dragon Boat Race raising money for Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust.

We’ll have the Robbie’s gazebo there with some chairs, so if any of our customers, friends or family fancy coming down to support us, you’re more than welcome.

If you can’t make it but would like to donate, we’ll put our fundraising link in the comments. Anything you can spare is massively appreciated.

We’ll be back open as normal Monday morning.

Providing we all make it out of the river.

🐉🚣 TEAM ROBBIES ARE SWAPPING SPANNERS FOR PADDLES… WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? 😂

On Saturday 5th September, we’re taking on the Cambridge Dragon Boat Race to raise money for Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust

We’re not promising speed.
We’re not promising coordination.
And we’re definitely not promising to stay dry. 😂🌊

What we ARE promising is to give it everything we’ve got and raise as much money as possible for an amazing cause.

So please sponsor us — even if it’s only a couple of quid to watch us publicly discover that fixing cars and rowing boats require VERY different skill sets. 😂

👇 DONATE HERE 👇

Every penny helps… and the more you donate, the less embarrassing it’ll be when we come last. 🐉🚣‍♀️😂

We are taking part in the Cambridge Dragon Boat Festival 2026, in aid of Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust (ACT). We have decided to support ACT because... (enter your companies motivation here).

When was your Hydrolastic fluid last changed… go on, be honest.

Was it during the war?

Back when British Motor Corporation thought bouncing down the road was peak comfort?

If your answer is “I’ve genuinely got no idea”
chances are it’s well past its best.

And let’s be real… these cars were built for smooth roads and Sunday drives — not today’s roads that have more potholes than a quill and ink diary

Old Hydrolastic fluid = saggy ride height, wallowy handling, and your car feeling like it’s sailing rather than driving.

Get it checked before your pride and joy turns into a vintage boat.
We can get it riding like it should.

After an egg-hausting March…
we’re giving our team a well-earned break this Easter to spend time with family and eat their body weight in chocolate!

We will be CLOSED:
• Friday 3rd April
• Saturday 4th April
• Monday 6th April

Because after a month of non-stop graft, it’s only right they get a chance to crack open some Easter eggs & spend time with their family!

Don’t worry—we’ll be back, fully recharged and ready to shell out top service as always on Tuesday 7th.

Happy Easter from all of us at Robbie’s 🐣

After a bit of a shuffle around in the office today we’ve come across a pair of wireless headphones that must have been left behind at some point.

We’ve popped them on charge in the hope the owner might be able to track them. If they’re yours, please give the office a call or pop up to collect.
