Specializing in Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1, and Peugeot 107 models, we offer carefully inspected pre-owned vehicles sourced from trusted dealers and fleet providers. Our inventory typically includes 20+ cars, with options available for various budgets. We provide transparent pricing, vehicle history checks, and personalized assistance to help customers find the right small car for their needs.
Servicing
Our on-site workshops deliver competitive servicing packages for Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1, and Peugeot 107 models, including interim and full services with optional MOT testing. All services use quality parts and include complimentary checks of critical components. Free courtesy cars are available during repairs, subject to insurance conditions.
MOT Testing
As an established MOT station, we offer while-you-wait MOT testing Monday-Friday with experienced technicians. The process takes approximately 35-40 minutes, with options to drop off vehicles for convenience. We provide free re-tests for minor repairs and can perform necessary fixes on-site, ensuring compliance with current MOT standards.
Repairs
Our workshops handle mechanical and electrical repairs for small cars, including diagnostics, exhaust replacements, and cam belt changes. With decades of combined experience, our technicians address common issues in Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1, and Peugeot 107 models. We offer free initial diagnostics and use manufacturer-specific tools for accurate fault detection.
Part Exchange
We consider part-exchange vehicles to help customers upgrade, though availability depends on current stock requirements. Vehicles undergo thorough inspection to determine fair valuation. This service focuses on small cars within our specialization range, ensuring competitive offers based on market conditions and vehicle condition.

I don't what to say about this garage but it is raw customer service. Honesty is paramount and it's a very old school traditional feel to how a customer should be treated when purchasing a car or when an issue is being dealt with. I can't say anything but nice words about Andrew and his approach to us when purchasing a lovely car. When we had a problem that needed dealing with this is when you know a good person and garage when you see one. Probably one of my best experiences of dealing with a car garage. There are not many garages or people like Andrew who operate with this type of integrity
