Shirley is one of Solihull's biggest and busiest suburbs, strung along the A34 Stratford Road with its shops, the Parkgate development and constant traffic. All that stop-start driving is hard on a car — and we're a short run away to put it right.

Shirley is proper suburbia at scale — a long, busy high street, big retail parks, and the endless stop-start of the Stratford Road. It's convenient for the shops, but that kind of crawling traffic is some of the hardest driving there is on brakes, clutches and cooling systems.
We're a short drive away in Meriden, at Home Farm on Meriden Road (CV7 7SL). From Shirley it's a manageable run out towards the A45 and Meriden — and well worth it to escape both the traffic and the dealer prices.
Point 01
Crawling along the Stratford Road day after day wears brakes faster, works the clutch hard, and is tough on diesels that never get a proper run. These are exactly the things we check during a service, so small issues get caught before they become big bills.
