Collect · Prepare · Deliver

We collect your car, do the work, and bring it back.

Servicing, MOT, repairs, paint and valeting — without losing a day off work. We collect from your home or your workplace, do the job in our own workshop, and have the vehicle back to you when it is done.

Why we exist

Nobody should lose a day’s pay to a garage.

Booking a car in usually costs more than the bill does. A morning off, a lift there, a lift back, and a day of wondering whether it will be ready. Most people put the job off because of it, which is how a cheap repair turns into an expensive one.

So we come to you. Tell us where the vehicle will be — your drive, the street outside your office, the yard at work — and we collect it, carry out the work in our own unit, and bring it back. For most customers the whole thing happens while they are sat at their desk.

And because servicing, MOT work, mechanical repairs, paint and valeting all happen under one roof, a vehicle needing four different things is still one booking, one contact and one bill rather than four.

How it works

Three steps, and you only make one of them.

  1. 01

    Collect

    Tell us where the vehicle is and we go and get it — your forecourt, the auction hall, a part-exchange sitting on a customer's drive. Trade plates, driven or transported, whichever suits the car.

  2. 02

    Prepare

    The vehicle is assessed, priced and booked through the work it actually needs: servicing and MOT, brakes and tyres, SMART repairs and wheels, machine polishing, and a full clean inside and out. You approve the quote before anything is started.

  3. 03

    Deliver

    Back to you photographed, plated and ready to advertise — or straight out to your buyer if that is easier. You get the vehicle, the photographs and one invoice covering the lot.

Already have a garage or bodyshop you use? We will work to whatever part of the list you want us on and leave the rest alone.

What we do

Everything between the auction and the forecourt.

Not every vehicle needs all of it. Tell us the standard you sell to and we will put the car through what it takes to get there.

One supplier

One place, one point of contact, everything sorted.

You are not co-ordinating four suppliers and hoping the dates line up. The vehicle is with us, the work is ours, and if something is not to standard when it comes back, it comes back to us — not onto your bill.

Mechanical repairs, servicing, diagnostics, MOT preparation, bodywork and paint, valeting and detailing. Same unit, same job number.

That is what most of our customers are actually buying: their own time back, and a car they can put on the forecourt the day it arrives.

  • Private customers

    Your own car, serviced, MOT'd or repaired without you taking time off. We collect from home or from work, keep you posted on what we find, and bring it back the same day wherever the job allows. Main-dealer standard work without main-dealer prices or the wait.

  • Vans and work vehicles

    A van off the road is a day not earning, so they go to the front of the queue. Clutches, servicing, MOT work and bodywork, scheduled around your jobs — including evenings and weekends where we can.

  • Businesses with a few vehicles

    Company cars and liveried vans kept legal, serviced and presentable without somebody in the office spending their week ringing garages. One contact, one schedule, one invoice.

  • Dealers, traders and fleets

    Where we came from. Retail-standard preparation at volume: mechanical, paint, wheels and valeting under one job number, with collection from auction and delivery back to your forecourt.
