Scotland's No.1 independent garage. We offer a range of services to meet all your motoring needs, all from our unique Edinburgh city centre location. Having broken down on my way into Edinburgh on a mini holiday, I needed to ensure it got fixed up in just a couple of days. Not only did they sort out a dodgy clutch, but also kept me appraised and it runs smoother than before I started my trip!

Services
You can get maximum value-for-money car servicing from a top-quality local garage, without the fear of invalidating your vehicle warranty. As a member of the Motor Industry Code of Practice we offer genuine replacement parts, the most up-to-date diagnostic equipment and our staff are trained to the highest technical standards.
Lochrin Autos (Edinburgh) Ltd is approved by the Government appointed Vehicle Operator Services Agency (VOSA) and all MOT tests are completed by MOT testers nominated by VOSA. During the MOT test the nominated tester will conduct an inspection and a comprehensive series of checks around the vehicle.
These gases leave heavy deposits on the air intake tract, fuel injectors, EGR and intake valves, restricting the air and fuel flow. If left to build up, these deposits will reduce the economy, performance and increase emissions. The Diesel Particulate Filter will eventually become restricted, further reducing power and economy.
The power steering pump produces high pressure between 800 - 2000 pounds, with high heat. This leads to fluid breakdown and failure, resulting in less responsive, noisy steering and ultimately - expensive breakdown. Symptoms include groaning and whining noises, erratic steering and pump leaks.
Solution: A powerful cleaner suspends and dissolves varnish and gums in the power steering system and then all the old fluid is replaced with new high-tech power steering fluid for both conventional sector and rack and pinion.The benefit will be a quieter-operating, longer lasting power-steering system.

A conventional transmission service drains only a small portion of the old, oxidised fluid, large amounts remain causing deposits to form on the components. These deposits can cause erratic shifting, malfunction or even failure.
The Transmission flush installs and circulates a flushing compound to completely remove oxidised and contaminated fluids in the transmission, valve body, torque converter, pan, filter element, transmission lines and transmission cooler.This service should be performed every 2 years or 30,000 miles for long, trouble free transmission life.

I needed a new EGR valve on my car, having rung around various garages I kept being told it was too big of a job, or that the garage couldn't fit me in for weeks. I rang Lochrin, they were happy to assist and got the job done in one day, keeping me updated throughout. They gave an estimated cost which was accurate and made sense and then they returned my car, repair done, washed and valeted. Fab service, thank you.

On a trip from the Scottish Borders with wife and four children onboard I experienced steering wheel shudder and a smell of burning. As we entered the centre of Edinburgh the brakes started to fail and we pulled into the side of the road. The heat coming from the front off-side wheel was immense. A quick Google search and the nearest garage was Lochrin Autos.
We managed to drive in first gear to get us there and was met by Michael Mortazavi who immediately identified the issue - ceased brake caliper. He took time to show me and explain the problem. He was fully booked for the day, but on learning

I've been using Lochrin Autos for two years now and it is without a shadow of a doubt the most reliable garage I've ever been to. Car fixed in a day and such an amazing knowledgeable and friendly mechanics.
I have a BMW serie1 2006 and the car is working smoothly thanks to this guys. The last time last week when the sensor of the ABS decided to stop working, again, car fixed within hours. On top of that, I always pick up my car clean & shiny :P.
Highly recommend this place. Many thanks !!!

Lost brakes on car due to leak from old corroded brake-pipes. First day of holiday so no idea garages to call and Lochrin garage was first option. Michael M. from Lochrin said they were extremely busy, but they would assess the job as my car is 17yrs old and everything could be badly rusted. Advised they'd have to drop the exhaust and fuel tank (half-full with diesel) in order to access and replace the two main brake lines running front to back. Advised approx cost and I agreed. Expensive job, but can't compromise safety. The mechanic had to work the whole day and they capped the charge. Excellent

Lochrin Motors get 5 Stars across the board from me; whether that be for professionalism, service, communication or value. I have gone to them with a number of repairs and routine work for many years now and they continue to impress, without fail. Look no further than Lochrin Motors - you will not be disappointed.

I used Lochrin Motors a few weeks ago for new tyres after they were recommended to me by a friend. They were friendly, efficient and didn’t try to upsell me at any point. Everything was sorted on the same day and my car (rather embarrassingly) came back cleaner than when I dropped it off!
They will now be my go to garage. Highly recommend.

My audi had an issue so towed it to lochrin and within 2 hours told me my audi timing chain had snapped and it would cost me £3800 for a replacement engine they didnt even look i found another garage and they… stripped it down and surprise the timing chain was perfect the audi has no compression which will result in a few 100 quid in repairs but not a replacement engine absolute waste of time folk that cant be bothered doing a job what mechanic diagnoses a fault without even looking wont ever use them again

I have two cars BMW X6 and Mazda 5. I put both my cars for service, MOT and repairs. I found Lochrin Autos very professional, efficient and great communication for all the repairs and improvements that were required for both of our cars. The cost was very reasonable for such professional works. I found Michael, the owner, and the team very friendly and helpful. I do not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you, Michael!

Been using Lochrin auto for a few years for my car, and had my van MOT’d there for the first time this morning. Excellent service, despite the horrendous weather. The boys in the garage were brilliant and… turned it around quickly to let me get home ASAP, and Jane is great and always explains everything to me in non-technical words I can understand!
