With over 35 years of experience, we prioritise customer education and preventive maintenance to avoid costly repairs.
Vehicle Servicing
Our servicing includes interim, full, and major checks tailored to your vehicle's needs. Using manufacturer-recommended procedures, we inspect brakes, fluids, and engine components to maintain performance and warranty validity. Regular servicing improves fuel efficiency and prolongs vehicle lifespan, supported by our commitment to honest, no-upsell practices.

Nothing is too much trouble for Alan and Ian. I have been a customer for many years now and you always get excellent service with a smile. Recently helped me with a breakdown, putting themselves out in the process. Can't recommend them enough.

I'm a loyal customer to Northowram garage, having had MoTs, services and a used car from them. Customer service is always top quality and staff are friendly. I bought a Peugeot 207 from Alan after my previous car was stolen, it's by far the best car I've owned and was priced very fairly. Would always recommend.
