It is easy to take your tyres for granted, but tyres are crucial to your safety and the safety of other road users.
Services
Regular servicing is essential for the reliability and smooth running of your vehicle. Main dealer labour rates have meant that the cost of even a basic service can sometimes be extremely high. We offer extensive vehicle servicing that exceeds the level of quality you can expect from a main dealer.
It is easy to take your tyres for granted, but tyres are crucial to your safety and the safety of other road users. They are the only point of contact between you and the road so it is not wise to ignore them. The legal limit is 1.6mm of tread depth across the central 3/4 of the tyre all the way round.
Most modern vehicles come equipped with air conditioning or climate control systems. These systems rely on compressed refrigerant gasses which can escape from the system over time. Major motor manufactures have been quoted as saying that up to 10% of the gas can be lost each year. Any significant loss of gas will result in reduced performance of the system.

Excellent service. I took our car in for a pre-MOT service and new set of tyres. Minimal waiting for an available slot. Friendly, efficient, warmly recommended.

Go here for yearly service, in and out in one day. Great attention to detail and always give a list of parts that need attention. Haven't had anything they couldn't fix or diagnose including engine warning light for crank angle sensor, turned away by other shops. Very friendly customer sevice with reception having an in depth knowledge of vehicles as well, not just back of house mechanics. Next to very good MOT as well, convenient. Only down side is they are about 10 to 15% more expensive then other average mechanics around Oxford but well worth the extra pennies.

I had a serious fault with the Adblu sensor on my Citroen C4 Grand Picasso a few weeks ago. These guys are the only garage that could fix it no one else had a clue. I spoke to a very helpful guy called Shane. He booked the car in, and the part was ordered. The day after they got the part the car was fixed. Very fast service. All the mechanics are very helpful they answer all your questions and they are the experts when it comes to French/ Italian cars. The only other Citroen dealer was in Reading, way too far. So if you have a fault on a French/ Italian car go see these guys first.

I've been using this firm for years and from the guy who books you in (& calls with clear updates and summaries of options) to the mechanics who do the work, I'm delighted with the service I receive.
Just had clutch replaced and I wish there was a sixth star - job took them longer than budgeted for in the quote they gave me but they stood by the quote. Top marks.

Quality work and excellent customer service. They are completely transparent with costs and I've gone back to them for different repairs on my car over the past few years. They have built a trusted, reliable business here! Wouldn't go anywhere else in Oxford.
