The Motor Garage
Welcome to the Motor Garage - a friendly village garage which has been around for nearly 100 years! We specialise in the restoration, servicing, maintenance and repair of Classic Cars, although we do work on modern cars too! We also have a modern, secure and discreetly located Storage facility around the corner, just 5 minutes from the A303.

In addition, we are a registered MOT test station. We have a comfortable and family friendly reception and MOT viewing area, with sofa, tea and coffee, magazines, toys and puzzles for the children and nice toilet facilities! If your car is over 40 years old, you don't actually need an MOT test, but we would recommend one anyway for your own safety.
Services
We have literature and photographs of the garage dating back to the early 1930s but believe its origins date back further, we believe to the 1920s at least. There is an interesting print of the garage in the 1950s hanging in reception. If you have any history or photographs please do let us know.

The garage is a deceptively large building, and the rear "shed" was formerly attached to the old Post Office (the red-brick house on the r/h side of the garage) and was used to service and maintain GPO vans.The telephone number at this time was "Netheravon 1"! A solid communications cable apparently ran between the Post Office and the air-base at the top of hill.
The Motor Garage is a family owned business. The team has been considerably expanded and strengthened in recent years. Our capabilities in both the modern and classic sides of the business have never been stronger. Everyone who works with us and for us shares our commitment to customer service and our values.
Our scanning equipment and software can interface with all makes and models facilitating quick diagnosis and remedy of faulty equipment. Sometimes all that is needed is to clear a fault code which has been thrown up by a software glitch. In that case we simply charge half an hour's labour. You are entitled under EC law to have your vehicle serviced by an independent garage.
We take great pride in our garage and in what we do. We value our customers' feedback so we can understand what we are doing well and, acknowledging that we are only human, what we could do better. You can speak to or email James, our Managing Director, if you are not 100% satisfied with the service you receive from us.

The mechanic was honest and made it clear that work didn't actually need done, which goes along way in my books

Friendly, professional, really good communication and good value for money. Did an MoT and some minor maintenance on my non-classic car. Would highly recommend.

I’ve just had my 47 year old Land Rover repaired at the Motor Garage and prepared for its annual MOT. Great service, they kept me fully informed and explained every detail. Good honest workmanship, nice people to deal with and it now has a full MOT. Highly recommended if you have an older classic.

This garage keeps the old honest traditions alive with great customer service and second to none workmanship. There's no uncertainty that you're not getting what you pay for and what you pay for is affordable. I've been using this garage for a few years now and have never had any complaints. Well worth checking out for vehicles of any age and category.

Cheerful staff, fantastic service and affordable.
Couldn't recommend this place higher for customer service and for honest professional service. They never go over quote unless absolutely necessary for driver safety.
As a self confessed auto-illiterate male, they are never talk condescendingly like many other garages do and instead always explain work that needs doing in patient and simple manner.
Also they always have stunning cars that they are working on restoring!
