Always first class service,
Have had a couple of late visits, Always helpful to get me booked in.
Used often.
Lovely staff, great service
Brilliant service
Took my car in to ask advice regarding the awd system. Did a complete health check and road test and it was pointed out the rear brakes were only just working which I was aware of. Took it back for a rear brake replacement and full service, car runs beautifully now and is a pleasure to drive so will be going to Cavendish from now on.
Mark at Cavendish went above and beyond repairing our car. Faced with innumerable faults due to a broken EGR breather, he and the team worked through them all. The final bill was pretty big, but it would have been a lot bigger if they'd just replaced everything rather than cleaning it. Here's a picture of what came out of the manifold. The DPF was worse apparently.
Marc and the lads are extremely helpful, went in with an issue with my car, no hesitation from the lads and instead of having it booked in they worked on it straight away. First class service and will continue to take both mine and my partners car here for any work that needs carried out. Highly recommended
My VW Touareg has been to Cavendish Motor Company twice and both times Marc and his team have provided me with first class service.
They have gone above and beyond my expectations and put in the extra effort to ensure that my car was returned in first class condition.
I would definitely recommend this company for all your maintenance work and MOTs.
I will certainly be taking... Read More
Ordered some new tyres via BlackCircles for my Focus and had them fitted at Cavendish, very polite and efficient service. Will use Cavendish again.
Marc & his team as always do great job & always look after the car .
Wouldn't dream of going anywhere else , we had problems which were caused by us using backstreet garage, Marc came to rescue & since then we have let Cavendish do the job . They always let you know what's needed , what's going to be required next time & keep in touch with you whilst working on car
Just had my vw touareg serviced by mark and the team at cavendish, managed to get me booked in at short notice and completed a full service and check over including report about worn brake pads at a very competitive price, and what's more it's on the doorstep.
Mark is excellent, very reliable
Took my mazda in to sort out a blocked dpf and engine management light the customer service and advice was well above and beyond fixed my issue and was reasonably priced would recommend them very highly excellent job
Great bunch of lads, are very thorough making sure that the job is complete to high standards and are very helpful and reasonably priced.
Very professional and friendly. Thorough and honest on every job.
Spot on service
Top service from Marc and the lads, got my alignment bang on where another garage couldn't.
Explained everything throughly, really knows his stuff!
Will be back 👌
Called on off chance to see if they could remove a dog seatbelt which had become stuck and would make vehicle fail MOT due in 7 days. Despite not being a customer, they spent time trying different things and eventually resolved the problem. Seven days later my car was in Stratstone BMW for MOT and when car collected discovered they had been unable to do MOT due to technical problems. With... Read More
Helped us out a short notice. Professional, friendly and good price. Would definitely recommend.
Always get a good service.
Brilliant service from Marc and his team. Potentially saved me hundreds of pounds by going above and beyond investigating and fixing an issue I had with my gearbox. He took the time to explain the issue and showed me exactly what had happened. Can't recommend them enough.
Satisfactory explanation of vehicle issues and very reasonable prices. I will bring my car here for any further problems. ?
Very good and definitely use again cheers lads
Definitely one of the most customer friendly garages I've used. Fitted my car in short notice and seem to work to a very high standard.
The guys at Cavendish are very knowledgeable and experienced. The advice I got was nothing short of truthful advice ? thanks for today and see you again soon
Went over and above with customer service. I could not pick my car up before closing so Mark came in next day especially to let me pick it up. Thank you. Serviced car and changed timing belt. Good job done. Will definitely use Cavendish again in the future and recommend to everyone.
Contaced Marc by E mail asking about a wheel alignement check. Replied very quickly. Having just fitted new front suspension bits it was important to have the Tracking checked. I asked the price and if their equipment was avaiable to fit a check in. There was an afternoon vacant slot, turned up sharp, booked in, left the car and had a walk up to the high street a few mins away.When we returned... Read More
If you’re unsure when your MOT is due, don’t worry. It’s a question we get asked all the time. Just give us a call and we can find out for you.
Then, once you’ve had your first Ashington MOT at Cavendish Motors, we’ll make sure you’re always reminded a month prior to being due.
This way you can relax, we’ll keep you up to date.
An MOT is an annual legal requirement, which checks your cars roadworthiness and its emission standards.
It is mandatory and to be caught without a valid MOT could mean you face a 4-figure fine and invalid insurance.
As Ashington’s leading MOT garage, we’re open 5 days a week and have a comfortable waiting room.
We’ll normally be able to book you in within a few days of your call. And, if your car needs any repair work doing before we can issue your MOT certificate, we’ll always try our best to do it there and then so you can get back on the road that day.
Absolutely. We actually recommend booking your MOT early, doing so means you don’t have to worry about it anymore.
As long as you don’t book it any earlier than a month before it’s actually due, you’re good to go and won’t face any penalties.
As a local garage, we’re focused on an honest, trustworthy experience every time. That’s why we promise you’ll never be hit with any hidden charges. You’ll never face any unexpected costs because if there’s any work that needs doing before we can issue your MOT certificate, we’ll let you know before we go any further.
At Cavendish Motors, you’re guaranteed a competitive, great value MOT. Find someone cheaper locally, let us know. We’ll try to match them.
Either way, we have a great set of interest-free payment options available to make splitting the investment easy.
MOTs are stressful. We understand. That’s why we’re always open and honest with you, to reassure you every step of the way, without all the confusing jargon you might be used to.
Once you’re in, we’ll give your vehicle an initial assessment, then discuss any repairs that may be required prior to issuing your MOT. And, if you need work doing to get it through the MOT, we’ll do it straight away.
All our MOTs are undertaken in house, combining the finest testing equipment with our fully trained technicians. This means your MOT will only take around 45 minutes. And, to save you time and stress, we’ll happily arrange pick-up and delivery of your vehicle. We’re sure you’ve got other places you need to be.
If you need a vehicle whilst we repair your car, no problem. Just let us know when you book in.
Would you like to spread your repair payments? We’ve got several easy plans to help you out.
We’re open 5 days a week and are always here to help.
