Meet the team
Terry "Tuck" Uttley
Technician
Terry has worked as a technician since 1989 and also trains young apprentices. He is very experienced with cars built from the 1960's to brand new models with the latest technology or custom built racing cars. Whatever the issue Terry has probably seen it before and always goes the extra mile to make sure that his customers are satisfied.
Keith King
Technician
Keith grew up working on cars with his Dad in their family business before moving on to BAE.
He joined us in 2016. There's not much he enjoys more than working on cars with Terry, and nothing is too much trouble.
Carol Ann Ainsworth

She has worked for our workshop since 1982 and has a wealth of knowledge enabling her to source the right parts at competitive prices and pass the benefits on to our customers.

Fast turn around
We know you rely on your car so we will have it back on the road in the shortest possible time, we can often arrange onward transport to get you home or to work so you aren't inconvenienced and then we'll phone you as soon as your car is ready.
Summer checkup
Why not get your car checked over before you head off for your Summer holidays. We can check your tyres, wipers, lights, air conditioning etc so you can relax and know that you'll be ready to set off whatever the British weather throws at you.
Free quote before we begin the work
For complicated repairs we are happy to provide you with a quote so you know how much it will cost before we begin work then you don't have an unpleasant surprise when you come back to collect it. We are very competitive so it's unlikely that you'll find a better price.
