After a successful career as a Business Development Manager, I decided it was time to use my business skills to set up and run my own business. I couldn’t think of an industry I would enjoy more as I have always had a strong interest and passion for cars. My earlier career was in the motor trade having inherited my passion for cars from my father who was a very hands on mechanic all his working life, and I spent most of my free time working and learning from him. So, when my own son subsequently secured a Land Rover apprenticeship at the age of 16, it was clear the passion for cars was in our genes! It seemed a natural and sensible progression to start up our own company, V17 Auto Services. I am pleased to say we are going from strength to strength and building an excellent reputation with a growing and loyal customer base.

A qualified and experienced Land Rover trained to Master Technician, with the up-to-date diagnostic skills and mechanical knowledge. After 6 years working in a Land Rover dealership, I took the opportunity to move to an established motor company to work as a Workshop Controller and have developed a wide knowledge and hands on skills working on all makes and models of cars. My Dad and I have the perfect combination of experience and motor industry knowledge and we are prepared to go that extra mile as we know how important it is to keep your vehicle in good shape, roadworthy and on the road without incurring high end dealership rates.

Did you know that 70% of UK motorists prefer independent garages over main dealerships?

The ultimate reason for this is the scale of the operation, lower price and robust customer satisfaction. Here at V17 we offer a personalised service, where you will have a direct conversation with the mechanic actually working on your vehicle. We also offer a localised collection and drop off service and will carry out work during the evenings and weekends to alleviate the inconvenience of being without your vehicle.

The personal touches offered by us are one of the most attractive features of using an independent garage. We are always there to guide you through the entire repair process whether it is a full service, battery replacement, clutch repair, brake service etc.

We have grown our customer base from word of mouth, by providing exceptional customer service, competitive price and customer satisfaction. Your car is worked on by a qualified and experienced vehicle technician who has trained and worked in a professional dealership so you can be assured of a high level of training and knowledge.

Your budget is considered and respected, and we will give you the option to choose genuine parts or more cost-effective parts which will fit in your budget plan with the same quality servicing.

At V17 Auto Services we offer honest advice, zero hidden costs and inform you of any service or recommendation beforehand.

We aim to exceed customer expectations and pride ourselves on high levels of repeat business and long term client relationships.
