The people behind the ramps

An independent Sheffield garage where the person who quotes you is the person who fixes your car, and you can watch them do it.

Our story

Built on the jobs we talked people out of

Sheffield Auto Care started because too many drivers were being sold repairs they did not need. Our reputation has been built, more than anything, on the times we have told a customer that the noise they were worried about was nothing, or that a worn bush could safely wait another six months.

We are a genuinely independent garage. We are not tied to a franchise and we have no manufacturer targets to hit, so the only thing that decides what goes on your invoice is what your car actually needs. We use manufacturer-specification parts and fluids, we record everything on your digital service history, and servicing here will not affect your new car warranty.

Come and watch through the workshop window if you like. Most people do, and most people end up asking Sarah what she is doing, which nobody here minds at all.

How we work

The team

Three people, and you will meet all of them

    Master Technician

    Sarah has been under bonnets since she was sixteen and holds IMI Level 4 Master Technician status - the highest technical qualification in the UK trade.

  • Portrait of James Wilson, Service Manager at Sheffield Auto Care

    James Wilson

    Service Manager

    James runs the workshop diary and makes sure nothing is done to your car that you have not agreed to first. He came up through the trade as a technician, so when he explains a quote he genuinely understands the job behind it. He is the person who will ring you with an update rather than leaving you wondering.
