TLC Autocentres
We are open as usual, offering the same reliable service as always. Things are a bit different at the moment. We're sorry, but you need to book in with us online or call us before bringing your car in. Attended to both my vehicles. One was a Peugeot 207SW with broken front suspension spring. Excellent work carried out with a free driveshaft boot gaiter clip replaced (on a different wheel) at the same time.

Tony and the team on top form. More as usual. I broke down on Friday night had my car taken to TLC. Saturday morning I had a phone call with the cost of repairs and that afternoon a call to say all work was carried out and the car was ready for collection. The staff are friendly. More and very helpful, they talked me thought what's wrong with the car.

Chris Fitzpatrick and Tony Jackman (the founders of TLC Autocentres) have worked together for many years in the Basingstoke area, having worked and trained with VAG, Ford, BMW and Nissan main dealerships along with working for National Independents carrying out MOT's, Servicing, Repairs and Diagnostics to all makes and models of cars and light commercial vehicles.
Find the answer to all your motoring questions and learn more about the services provided by the expert team of mechanics at TLC Autocentres. 3 generations of my family live around Basingstoke, can we apply for a Fleet Multi-Car Account?. As long as your Family Group collectively have 5 vehicles or more, located within a 10 miles radius of Basingstoke, we will be able to offer you attractive discounts.
Book your vehicle's MOT test online and relax, safe in the knowledge that it's in safe hands. To make life easier in the future, why not register your MOT expiry date with us and we will send you a reminder next time it's due. Our Basingstoke MOT centre is authorised to issue roadworthiness certificates confirming that your car, van or truck conforms to the environmental and road safety standards required by DVSA.
At TLC Autocentres in Basingstoke we have experience in repairs and servicing on most makes of cars, including Classic, American and High-Performance vehicles. We are keen to help ensure that your vehicle running costs are kept to a minimum and believe that regular servicing and maintenance can help achieve this.
When you're driving - whatever the speed or conditions - your only contact with the road are the four postcard-size 'footprints' of your tyres. The law demands that tyres have a tread depth of 1.6mm in a continuous band around the centre three-quarters of the tyre. These levels represent the absolute minimum and tyres as worn as this should be replaced immediately.

I have been using this garage for about 4-5 years for MOT, service and any other jobs. It is the best garage I have ever used. They are so helpful and give advice in language you understand without making you feel stupid. You can honestly tell that they care about their customers and giving them the best service at affordable prices. I recommend this garage to everyone I know.

TLC have been servicing all our vehicles (VW T5 van, old problematic Mazda 6, Nissan 350Z & 370Z) for many years. We wouldn’t go anywhere else. Both Chris & Tony are beyond helpful and very very good at what they do. Extremely competitively priced and the client service they provide is second to none. Wouldn’t hesitate with recommend no matter what vehicle you have.

Whilst working away from home, my car developed an engine fault, after speaking to Chris I took it in. Within half an hour it was all repaired at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend

First class service from the original phone call, to being greeted on arrival and then driving away with a super cool car after having aircon rer-charged.. Would recommend them to anyone wanting friendly professional help.
THANK YOU.

Local family run business with a cast iron reputation, I cannot praise these guys enough, absolute trust and reliability. You will be given open and honest feedback and an explaination as to why work is required, there’s no hidden agenda here. Forget the National chains, use local

Fantastic service at a really good price. Unfortunately my car needed quite a bit done this week (clutch, brakes & air con condensor) and the whole experience from start to finish was excellent. The lady called and text me promptly with prices etc and Chris was very thorough and did a fantastic job. Thank you.
