Car Servicing & Repairs in Shortlands — FAQs
Do you service all makes and models?
Yes, from small hatchbacks to vans and 4x4s. We follow the manufacturer's schedule and use quality parts, so your service history stays valid.
How quickly can you reach me in Shortlands?
Shortlands is about 9.3 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 30 to 50 minutes, normally coming in via Shortlands Road and Beckenham Lane. Traffic, the time of day and how many jobs are running all move that, so when you ring 07961 100260 we give you a real window for that moment rather than a best case.
Will servicing with you affect my warranty?
No. Under block exemption rules you can have a car serviced by an independent garage without affecting the manufacturer's warranty, as long as the work follows the schedule and uses suitable parts — which ours does.
Do you cover all of BR2?
Yes — every street in BR2, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Bromley, Beckenham, Downham and Bickley, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
How long do accident repairs take?
It depends on the damage and parts availability. Light cosmetic work can take a day or two; structural repairs longer. We give you a realistic timescale with the quote.
My car won't start at Shortlands station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Shortlands, usually for a flat battery after the car has sat all day. Tell us which car park and roughly where you are parked. If it has a height barrier or a pay-on-exit gate, mention that too and we will send the right vehicle and sort the exit with you.
Is collection and delivery really included?
Yes, within our normal area. We collect the car, carry out the work and bring it back, so you do not have to take time off.
I have broken down on Shortlands Road — what should I do?
Put your hazards on, stay visible and ring 07961 100260. Give us the nearest house number or junction and we will tell you exactly where we will load. If the street is tightly parked we may winch the car out rather than reverse in, so it helps to know how much space there is.
Will you call me before doing extra work?
Always. If we find something beyond what you booked, we call you with a price first. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Shortlands?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Shortlands, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
