Whilst the garage down the road might deal with every sort of vehicle, used or new, it is usually more cumbersome having to look for a garage dealing with the service and repairs of your classic or luxury car.

Specialists for Classic Cars

You may have to travel for quite some distance before you can book your classic car in for a service or repair job, since, depending on the make and age of your classic car, you will undoubtedly need a specialist to handle the work.

Many specialists collect and deal in classic cars from the post-war era including, but not limited to, brands such as Alvis, Aston Martin, Bentley, Jaguar and Morgan. They not only carry out service and repairs but can acquire good quality cars for their clients. When you are ready to move on to a new car and they usually welcome part-exchange of such vehicles for any of their existing collection.

A good garage will deal with anything from the complete service and restoration of your vehicle, from bodywork, paintwork, electrics, mechanics, hydraulics and trim work to just a simple oil change and lubrication. They should be well stocked with part numbers for the brands they deal with and should have the ability to quickly deliver almost all parts needed to keep the classic cars they deal with in good working order and repair. They should provide sales, service, restoration, performance modification, advice and support as their overall package.

Specialists for Top of the Range Contemporary Cars

Some garages deal exclusively with a particular brand or in some cases, a country of origin, such as German or Italian cars for example. You should look out for a garage which has built up a reputation for high quality servicing and repairs for all the top range cars dealing with the country of your own car’s origin. An independent garage, with fully qualified mechanics and engineers, will usually only employ people who are passionate about what they do. If their mechanics love working on Audis, mending Mercedes and running diagnostics on BMWs for example, then they will treat your own car with all the respect and due care that the consumer could wish for.

Whoever carries out your service should have the latest in diagnostic technology, so they can tune your engine, replace your exhaust, fix your brakes – in other words, enable your car to run the way a top quality, luxury car is supposed to run.

A reputable specialist garage will make it their business to build on recommendations and repeat customers. They want their satisfied clients to come back time and again, and if customers tell their friends about the amazing service and competitive pricing then so much the better. Don’t be afraid to lodge a complaint, if you feel you have not been treated fairly or if the work wasn’t carried out to your satisfaction.

The garage should only use genuine parts and their mechanics must be fully trained and qualified, if your chosen garage is independent instead of being affiliated with the top end manufacturers they can charge independent garage prices. This in turn enables you to get a top quality service for your car, but you won’t have to pay the top dealer prices for your service.
