We know you all love our animal posts so here’s a fun one for Friday!

With the warmer weather this week we decided to take a leaf out of the new assistants book and work at his pace. 🐌 ☀️

🌞🔥 TOO HOT TO BE RUNNING AROUND? WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED! 🔥🌞

Let’s be honest… in this weather, nobody wants to be sitting in their car, walking home from the garage, or waiting around for their car to be ready!

That’s why we offer:

✅ Vehicle Collection & Delivery*
✅ Lifts To & From The Workshop*
✅ Friendly Service (and usually a bit of banter!)

So whether your car needs an MOT, service, repairs, diagnostics, or just a bit of TLC, you can stay cool while we do the hard work.

Drop your vehicle off, let us collect it, or grab a lift with us – whatever makes life easier for you.

🚗 Your car gets looked after.
😎 You stay out of the heat.
🤝 Everybody wins.

Give us a call or send us a message to get booked in!

Like many industries, we’re continuing to see rising costs from manufacturers and suppliers, with engine oil prices being one of the highest increases, which in turn is affecting vehicle servicing.

While it would be easy to switch to cheaper oils to offset these costs, that’s not a route we’re prepared to take. Your vehicle deserves the correct, manufacturer-approved oils that protect performance, reliability, and longevity.

Instead, we’re working hard behind the scenes, negotiating with suppliers and challenging price increases wherever possible to keep servicing costs as fair and competitive as we can.

Our priority has always been delivering quality workmanship and using the right products for your vehicle—not cutting corners to save a few pounds.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we do everything possible to absorb costs and minimise the impact on our prices.

Fridays fun fact - it’s been a while and it’s a good one!

Volkswagen has, in some years, sold more of its Currywurst sausages than actual cars.

The sausage — officially called the “Volkswagen Original Currywurst” — has its own VW part number: 199 398 500 A. There is also a part number for tomato sauce too! It’s served in factory cafeterias and sold in supermarkets across Germany.

VW has reported annual sausage sales of around 8–9 million currywursts, while global vehicle deliveries in the auto-market years have dipped below that figure.

So yes: one of the world’s biggest carmakers is also unexpectedly successful in the sausage business
