Free Local Vehicle Collection & Return
Getting a car to the garage shouldn’t cost you half a day. We offer free local collection and return — from your home or workplace.
Available by arrangement within approximately five miles of our Sunbury-on-Thames workshop. Further afield? Just ask us.

How collection works
Tell us the address and when the car is available. We collect, carry out the agreed work, keep you updated and return it.
Five miles is a guide rather than a hard boundary — if you’re a little further away, ask.
