Garage equipment repairs across Bristol and the South West
Workshop equipment does not fail conveniently. A lift that will not raise, a compressor that will not build pressure or a brake tester that has stopped talking to the console is a bay you cannot book into, and the cost of that adds up faster than the repair does.
Most of what we repair is equipment we supplied, some of it fitted decades ago and still on the service run. The rest is whatever a workshop in the South West has ended up with over the years — a lift somebody else installed, a compressor that came with the building, a tyre machine bought at auction. We are not precious about whose badge is on it.
Work happens on your floor where it can and back at Kingsland Road where the job needs a bench. Vehicle lifts, MOT equipment, compressors and air systems, tyre and alignment machines, presses and jacking equipment all come through.
Where a part is available we fit it. Where it is not, or where the economics have stopped making sense, we will say so rather than sell you a repair that will not hold. That is a slower way to run a business and the reason a lot of our customers have been with us for three generations.

2 productsGarage Equipment Repairs — questions we get asked
Do you repair equipment you did not supply?
Yes, and a lot of what we see was fitted by somebody else. Tell us the make and what it is doing.
Do I have to bring it to you?
Not usually. Most equipment is repaired where it stands — see on-site repairs. Anything that needs a bench comes back to the workshop.
What sort of equipment do you cover?
Vehicle lifts and MOT bay equipment, compressors and air systems, tyre changers and balancers, alignment systems, presses, jacks and jacking beams, lubrication equipment and air tools.
Can you tell me whether something is worth repairing?
Yes, and we will tell you when it is not. There is no sense putting parts into a machine that has come to the end of its life.
