Services
Although we have been known for many years for our expertise in servicing Air Cooled vehicles we now service all models from Citroen, Peugeot, Renault, Audi, Volkswagen, Skoda and Seat. We will undertake the servicing of most vehicles, old and new, and have full access to all vehicle schedules and specifications to ensure that not only is your car properly serviced but that the correct settings and tools are always used.
Whatever vehicle you drive one thing is certain. One day it will need repairing. Either because it has broken down or, more likely because it has failed on an aspect of the MOT or because some component is not working properly. Unlike many main dealers we will generally try to find the problem and repair or replace components only as needed rather than simply replace parts until the problem goes away.
An annual MOT test for your car is mandatory if your vehicle is over three years old. This test is carried out on behalf of The Ministry of Transport at our premises by approved and tested inspectors. This annual test is essential to ensure both your safety but also that of other road users. Failure to hold a valid MOT is an offence under Section 47 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and can result in a fine of up to 1000.
These guys efficiently identified and fixed a problem with our air conditioning which had been misdiagnosed by another garage. So glad we came to them for a second opinion - it saved us a substantial amount of money. I have been using them for a number of years after they were recommended to me by the RAC.
Most modern cars now come equipped with Air Conditioning and this feature is wonderful not only to keep you cool on a hot day but also as an aid to de-misting your car on those damp days as well! Like your engine, for it to work efficiently, your Air Conditioning system should ideally be serviced every 2 years rather than waiting for it to stop working.

My husband has used this garage for nearly 20 years. He has remained a loyal customer due to the honesty of this garage. You can leave your car with them knowing they will do a good job and not try to rip you off. This garage is especially good for MOT testing because they won't use it as an excuse to find imaginary faults to ramp the bill up, something that is unfortunately all too common a practice these days.

Where do I start with so many positive comments about this garage.
Dale and his team have kept myself and my families vehicles on the road for many years. When you come across a garage ( and i've certainly used a few!) that gives a service and prices second to none, you stay with them. No job has ever been to big or too small. Very professional, curteous and above all honest. I would happily recommend them to anyone. Many thanks.

I recently had a part fitted by Air Cooled Engineering which proved faulty a few months later. I was concerned as needed to drive across the country a few days later. Dale ensured I was seen immediately and had the part replaced the next day. Excellent service by an honest and reliable company.

I have been using Air Cooled Engineering since I moved to the area 11 years ago, I soon will be moving away and wanted to take the opportunity to say a big thank you to Dale and the team. The service has been fantastic, always honest, friendly, helpful and they clearly communicate what needs to be done and likely costs, which have always been very reasonable. If you are in need of a reliable garage that does not charge the earth then look no further. Thanks once again.

Got my MOT sorted with the faults repaired for good value! Took my car to air cooled for the first time after being recommended by my housemate, and walked out feeling like I could really trust the garage - a rare feeling indeed! Appreciate the tips, friendly service and quick repairs. Highly recommend!
