Dorridge is a smart, leafy commuter village south of Solihull, with its own station on the Chiltern line into Birmingham and London. It's a place that values quality — and we offer Dorridge drivers dealer-quality work without the dealer-sized bill.
Dorridge, neighbouring Knowle, has that prosperous, well-kept feel — good schools, the railway station, comfortable family homes. The cars tend to be newer and well looked after, and owners here want them serviced properly, not rushed through a chain.
We're a short drive away in Meriden, at Home Farm on Meriden Road (CV7 7SL), reachable via the A4141 and local roads up towards the A452. Plenty of Dorridge and Knowle drivers have made the short trip their habit.
Newer cars, done right
Modern cars need proper diagnostic kit and current know-how, both of which we have. We can service newer vehicles to schedule with correct-spec parts — which, thanks to Block Exemption rules, keeps your manufacturer warranty intact while saving you money over the dealer.
Quality without the hard sell
We give Dorridge customers careful work, clear quotes and honest advice. No invented problems, no pressure, no dealer-only-parts dogma when a quality equivalent is the sensible call. Just proper service from people who take pride in it.

“I called in a panic when my usual garage couldn't help and they saved my engine. So impressed that I went straight back after a later prang. Genuinely grateful — they came through when it really mattered.”
