Bickenhill sits right by the NEC, Birmingham Airport and the M42, which makes it one of the busiest corners of the region for traffic. For the people who live in and around the village, that means a lot of motorway miles — and a real need for a garage that keeps cars reliable.
Bickenhill is a small village wrapped around some very big neighbours — the NEC, Birmingham Airport, Resorts World and the M42 at Junction 6. Living here usually means doing serious mileage, whether it's the daily commute or constant airport runs, and that puts cars under real strain.
We're just a short hop away in Meriden, at Home Farm on Meriden Road (CV7 7SL), reachable via the A45. For Bickenhill drivers we're the sensible, honest choice for keeping a hard-working car in good health.
High-mileage cars need real attention
Lots of motorway miles mean your cambelt, tyres, brakes and oil all need keeping on top of. It's tempting to let servicing slide when the car “feels fine,” but high-mileage engines are exactly the ones that punish a skipped oil change. We help you stay ahead of it.
Quick, honest, and out of the chaos
One advantage of being in Meriden is that we're just outside the constant NEC-and-airport bustle, so it's an easy, calm drop-off. We quote clearly, work quickly, and keep you posted — ideal if your schedule revolves around flights and meetings.
