Services
Established in 1973 by John Handley, John Handley Motors Ltd in Fulwood & Preston is a local, independent garage which offers customers the family values they deserve and expect along with experienced workmanship at reasonable prices. We have 4 friendly staff here to help and advise you and excellent facilities to repair and service your vehicles.
Accreditations & Organisations that John Handley Motors Ltd is proud to be affiliated with. Customer experience is at the heart of our company's growth, as we consistently engage with customers to ensure we continue to develop our already much praised business model.

Delphi Automotive PLC is a global vehicle components manufacturer and provides electrical and electronic powertrain safety and thermal technology solutions to the global automotive and commercial vehicle markets.We carry out driving tests, approve people to be driving instructors and MOT testers, carry out tests to make sure lorries and buses are safe to drive, carry out roadside checks on drivers and vehicles, and monitor vehicle recalls.
The vast majority of new cars have air conditioning as a standard feature. These systems have become highly efficient and reliable but everything breaks down eventually without proper care. We offer all the services your air conditioning system needs to continue running safely and efficiently - anything from inspection, coolant recharging and anti-bacterial cleaning to a leak test, repair or replacement of the system.
The very first job any vehicle has is to start - preferably on the first try. However, an older or poorly maintained battery can struggle to do that in the best of conditions, let alone in cold weather or under the heavy drain of today's stereos, sat navs and accessories. Let us test your battery and we can tell you if it needs replacement.
At John Handley Motors Ltd we offer both performance testing and in-depth inspection of your vehicle's brakes. Your brakes are not just vital safety components, they are key to maintaining proper performance (not to mention passing your MOT). Any faulty parts found can be repaired or replaced with high quality components, ensuring both the safety and maximum performance of your vehicle for years to come.

Positive: Professionalism
Booked in my Honda Jazz in for an annual service. No fuss and a very straight forward process. Car was collected from my work and returned a few hours later. Good value, car was cleaned, service book stamped and a health check completed. Good, honest people to deal with, will use them again.
Service: Oil change

Critical: Value
Told them not to do any work on my car till I know what is wrong, (mot) I go to pick car up and he had changed a head light bulb an charged me £21 for it, charged £7 for a bulb that I could have got for £1.80, the bulb that was originally in the head lamp is fine! It looks like it had only dislodged, don't trust them again

Fantastic garage, honest and reliable. Managed to fit us in at short notice. Other garage had our car for a week and couldn't fix. These guys rang us about 2 hours after receiving it to say they'd spotted the problem (turbo hose connector was lose I believe) and fixed it. Also their hygiene/ covid measures were great; seats, wheel, geststick and handbrake etc were plastic wrappped on pick up. Recommended!

My wife had an accident. They had a cancellation so were able to fit her in to check the car. My father in law was a long standing customer and they remembered him. They were very reassuring and turned the car round in the afternoon.

Coronavirus is having a great impact on us all, and a lot of small businesses like my parents. If you do one thing today in isolation, I’d be grateful if you’d be kind enough to please:
1) Go to the business page: John Handley motors 2) Scroll across the top to the right and click “Community” 3) Click “Invite friends” 4) Click “All”
Wait 10-15… seconds for the invitations to send - it’s as simple as that 💪🏻
Comment DONE with the name of your business and I will do the same for you in return 🙏🏼

Was quoted nearly 2 times the price for an exact same part ( same model, make, brand, part number) ie identical) and when i requested that i purchase the part , they wouldn't install it. BEWARE what your paying them. Ripp off merchants...... Not only are they charging for the Labour, they are inflating the price of the parts (approx 200% in this case)..... Trying to get double whammy charges of the innocent customer.... Totally unacceptable .. BEWARE
