Classic Car Mechanic is a family-run garage business, a team of passionate, experienced engineers and technicians who will keep you on the road safely in a car that brings you pleasure and that you can be proud to drive.

The work we carry out includes MOT, servicing, repairs, inspections, and restoration on all cars, not just the classics.

We will serve you with old fashioned values, keep you informed about the work carried out, won't ever present you with an unexpected bill and will treat your car with the respect it deserves whether we are completing an MOT or a complete restoration.

Our expertise includes:

Service

There are good reasons why you should make sure your vehicle is serviced at the right intervals and while it is an expense none of us want when our vehicles are running OK it is a wise investment and almost always cheaper in the long run.  Anything that might be deteriorating and could become dangerous will be reported so that we can work together to deal with any problems in good time.

Repair

An engine light has come on, your car has lost power, developed a knocking noise or a leak overnight. Maybe you have broken down at the side of the road? We'll do our best to keep your car running or get you back on the road as quickly as possible, always putting safety first.
Your vehicle can be collected if it is not driveable. You can trust us to only carry out repairs that are really required. And remember, you will always enjoy good old fashioned customer service values as well as competitive and transparent pricing – no hidden fees.

Restoration

Having custody of your cherished classic so that we may return it to its former glory is, we know, a privilege and a responsibility we take seriously.  The process of restoration is a collaborative one and we work closely with our customers to make sure that the result they expect is achieved.

We can bring your classic up to a show winning concours condition, a great show car or safe, presentable and reliable depending on your requirements and budget.

MOT

As an MoT test station we have to work within strict guidelines set out by the DVSA which tell us what items to check and how to check them.  We do our best to get our customer’s cars through the test successfully and will top up fluids or change bulbs if that is what’s needed.

If a vehicle is over 40 years old it may be exempt from the MoT test although we would still recommend having it tested.  It is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to demonstrate that the vehicle is safe and roadworthy.

Pre-Purchase Inspection

When you have decided to purchase a car a pre-purchase inspection will give you peace of mind. If you need an inspection for insurance purposes or any other reason, we can inspect and provide a comprehensive report including an estimate for any work required.

Vehicle Health Check

If you have purchased a car or you want to get your treasured car back on the road a comprehensive vehicle health check will help you understand where to start. It includes a check of the condition and function of all the systems and components of your vehicle. A report and estimate for all of the suggested work is included.

Collection and Delivery

We work alongside a number of experienced, specialist car transport companies and can arrange transport of your cars to our workshops from your home. The teams we work with will all treat your car with the care you would expect. 

What we work on

Veteran, Vintage and Classic, plus modern!

The generally accepted definitions in the UK for Veteran is pre-1905 and Vintage are generally between 1905 and 1930.

But many would argue that there are cars built less than 40 years ago that are undisputed ‘classics’.

However you define your classic car we know that you cherish it and will want it to be serviced, repaired or restored by someone with classic values who respects that. It’s no less than you and your prized possession deserves.
