Wet belt specialists: Ford EcoBoost and PureTech
Ford's 1.0 EcoBoost and the 1.2 PureTech in Peugeots, Citroëns, DSs and Vauxhalls have a timing belt that runs in the engine oil. When it wears, bits of belt can block the oil pickup and starve the engine of oil. We change a lot of these.
Bodywork and paint, done in-house
Mark repairs scratches, scuffs, dents, rust and accident damage, then paints in our own spray booth. That covers anything from a scuffed bumper to a full panel, and alloy wheel painting too.

What customers say
“I can honestly say this garage gave me the best customer service I have ever had. I was 23 miles outside Brixham on my way for a weeks holiday when my car went into limp mode. I got to where I was going and then tried many garages that either couldn’t do anything to help or didn’t appear to want to. I put a post on Spotted Paignton and these guys not only answered me but came out around 9.30pm that night to check car. They cleared the fault temporarily so I could get it to them the next day. Fault was located and repaired the same day and for a very reasonable price. Can’t sing their praises enough. Friendly, quick repair and reasonable. They honestly couldn’t do enough to help. Absolutely brilliant. What’s not to love ?? Highly recommend. Please give these guys a try you won’t be disappointed”
★★★★★“Had our Citroen DS3 serviced by Russ who even washed the car afterwards. The cost was very good compared to the franchise garages. He's genuinely a car enthusiast and cares about customer service and included a general and helpful health checkup on the car, informing us of things to monitor. Our other car has been booked in for a dual mass fly wheel change and again the quote for the work using the same parts came in substantially less than franchise dealers. Thoroughly recommend.”
★★★★★“Russ provided a fantastic service, clearly a very solid and honest mechanic. Would definitely use again in the future. Thanks very much”
★★★★★“Top quality work, at amazing prices, highly recommend”
