Independent workshop in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, run by enthusiasts. Menu prices for everyday jobs, dealer-level diagnostics for the cars most garages turn away.
Oil service from £149, aircon from £79, brake pads from £119. MOT arranged for you. See the price, ask for a slot.
See prices and bookWarning light, limp mode, a noise you can't place. Diagnostics £79 — you get a written estimate before any work starts.
Describe the faultWe're not VAT registered, so the price is the price. Oil services, brake pads and aircon can be done while you wait, in a warm waiting room with a coffee. While you wait
A fault code names a symptom, not a part. We test until we know why, with dealer-level kit (BMW ISTA, Mercedes XENTRY, VW ODIS and VCDS), and you approve a written estimate before anything is fitted. Diagnostics and auto electrics
Automatic gearboxes. Our dynamic exchange machine replaces nearly all the fluid, not the half a drain-and-fill does. ZF, Mercedes 7G/9G-Tronic, DSG and CVT, from £399, priced to your car. Most automatic BMWs, Jaguars and Land Rovers use the ZF eight-speed, often sold as filled for life. Find your gearbox
Rootes Motors began as a place to service our own cars properly. Friends brought theirs, and it grew into a full-time workshop. Read our story
The Rootes Standard
You get a fixed price in writing before any work begins. If we find anything else, we send you photos and a link to approve or decline it — nothing extra is done without your yes.
12-month warranty on parts we supply (wear items and consumables excluded), and every job is road-tested and checked before handover.
A seat cover, steering-wheel cover and floor mat go into every car before we touch it, and we work in clean overalls — never in a customer's car in dirty clothes.
On a while-you-wait job you sit in a warm, dry waiting room with a coffee — not stood outside in the cold and rain.
Booking is paperless. Every job is recorded against your car, and we email you the documents confirming the work completed.
Every registered customer gets automatic service and MOT reminders by email, so a due date never slips past.
We arrange your MOT at the DVSA-approved test centre on our street, take the car there and back, and fix anything that fails.
Describe the fault or the job. We'll come back with what it needs and what it costs. If it's faster to talk, call us.
