Dockside has put 5,000+ cars through the shop since 2010. Nothing gets worked on until you’ve seen the photo and approved the price — and everything leaves with a 12-month parts and labour warranty.
The garage trade runs on trust, and trust runs on proof. So before any work happens, you get photos of the actual problem on your actual car, a priced list, and an approve/decline button per item.
No mystery line items, no ‘while we were in there’. Decline anything — the car comes back with the photos so the next garage can quote it too.
What we do
The work that keeps you moving.
Three bays, four lifts, and the diagnostic kit the dealers use.
Servicing & MOT
Manufacturer-schedule servicing that protects your warranty, and MOTs with a free pre-check so failures don’t ambush you.
Diagnostics
Warning lights read properly — dealer-level kit, a printed report, and a fix priced before anything is touched.
Brakes, clutches & suspension
The big mechanical jobs, photographed before and after, warrantied for 12 months parts and labour.

Fifteen years on Dockside Lane.

From the forecourt
What drivers say.
★★★★★
“They sent photos of my worn discs next to a new set. First garage in twenty years of driving that showed me instead of telling me.”
Carmen Silva
Brakes & MOT, three years running
★★★★★
“Dealer quoted four figures off a warning light. Dockside’s diagnostic found a sensor, not a gearbox. The printed report paid for itself forty times over.”
Ade Bakare
Diagnostics, then a very small bill
★★★★★
“Booked the courtesy car online, dropped mine at eight, had it back by four. The approval texts made it painless.”
Freja Nilsson
Clutch replacement
That noise isn’t going to fix itself.
Most inspections are photographed and priced before noon — the approval link does the rest.
