At Emerson’s Garage, we carry out almost all mechanical repairs and servicing, from brakes, clutches and suspension to engine and gearbox work. We also offer a full tyre service, including supply and fitting, wheel alignment and camber adjustment.
We also carry out ADAS calibration, making sure safety systems like lane assist and automatic emergency braking work correctly after a windscreen replacement, alignment or suspension work.
On top of that, we have strong experience in vehicle programming, airbag faults, and ECU and body control module problems. Having worked alongside main dealer technicians from many different brands, there are very few faults we can’t find and fix. And for the rare tricky one, we have trusted contacts in the trade we can call on.

We are fully equipped to tackle any mechanical repair, from fitting a new bulb to replacing an entire engine.
We want to take care of every car, so whenever yours needs a little TLC, from damaged body, paint or mechanical repairs, we can help.
ENGINE REPAIR
Our experienced mechanics start with a full diagnostic check to find the cause of any engine problem, whether it’s an internal fault or an external one.
We’ll then report our findings to you with a full quote for the repair or, if needed, a complete engine rebuild. Work only begins once you’ve approved it.
BRAKES REPAIR
Even with minimal information, you know how vehicle brakes are important in your failing NCT test, although bad brake performance can put your life in potential danger on the road. Our mechanics will check your whole brake system to find out why it delivers terrible performance, then they will change and replace it with genuine parts and accessories or repair your brake system.
GEARBOX REPAIR
Whether your gearbox needs a service, maintenance, repair, or reconditioning, keeping it in good working order is critical. Poor performance or a noisy gearbox will affect how your vehicle drives.
After a diagnostic check, we’ll give you an estimate of all costs and how long the work will take. Repairs only begin once you’ve approved the quote. All our parts are made by trusted brands using high-quality materials.
CLUTCH REPAIR
The clutch is one of the most important parts of your vehicle, and clutch problems are among the most common issues drivers face. Our experienced mechanics carry out clutch repairs and replacements on all makes and models.
We start by diagnosing the fault, whether it’s clutch slip, judder, or drag. Judder, for example, is often caused by misaligned clutch components. Once we’ve identified the problem, we’ll give you a quote for the work, and the repair or replacement only begins after you’ve approved it.
SUSPENSION REPAIR
Suspension faults are one of the most common reasons cars fail the NCT. Ignoring a worn suspension makes your car less stable and less safe on the road. Problems can build up gradually without you noticing, and damp weather like ours speeds up wear and corrosion on suspension parts.
We offer a free suspension check, inspecting all the key components, including shock absorbers and springs. We’ll then report any faults to you, and the repair or replacement only starts once you’ve given the go-ahead.
The owners manual of your vehicle has a detailed section outlining the intervals that your car should be serviced. The schedule also lists the items that need particular attention at each of those intervals. Most modern cars have a service reminder light that illuminates on the dashboard when your service is due.
If you own an older car or don’t have the owners manual then the general rule of thumb for oil and filter change is every 7000 miles or 6 monthly, whichever comes first.
The time taken to service your car varies depending on the service interval e.g. the service relevant to the number of kilometres you’ve travelled or age of your car in months since purchase, whichever comes first. The average time for a standard service is 1-1.5 hours. You will need to allow more time for major services which involve attention to additional items such as: air; cabin and fuel filters; brake fluid and coolant; transmission and other lubricants; timing belts and so on.
