British Classic Car Workshop

We are best known for our expertise with MGs. This is the marque that the business owes its heritage to and has been associated with since we started in Ted’s garage at home in 1979. Now-a-days our four mechanics are all very experienced with British classic cars, whether that be MG, Triumph, Austin Healey or even a Gordon Keeble. From routine servicing to full restorations we have the skills, knowledge, and enthusiasm to look after your car to the highest standards.

MG ROVER SPECIALIST WORKSHOP

We are as close as you can get to a MG Rover main dealer, only better. Since the introduction of the MGF in 1995, we have been working on MG Rover cars. Andy is our specialist MG Rover mechanic and is extremely passionate about maintaining the marque to the highest standards.

In the nearly 20 year period since the sad demise of MG Rover and their dealership network our workshops have been busy with customers pleased to find a trustworthy garage specialising in and looking after their modern MG or Rover.

Please call our Workshop Manager, Tom, on 0118 988 4774 to discuss your requirements or to make a booking.

Services

Whilst we can undertake any type of maintenance or restoration on a classic car, here are some of the things our customers particularly value and we are rather good at.

  • Expanded storage facilites

    Struggling for secure undercover storage?

    We would be delighted to offer a safe place for you to keep your cherished classic.

    In addition to providing a home for your vehicle, we offer a range of related services including trickle charging, vehicle exercising, tyre trainers plus much more. We can also attend to regular servicing, paintwork rectification and full detailing whilst in our care.

    The site is secure and discreet.

    Rates are dependent upon the size of the vehicle and the range of services that you require.

  • K-Series Head Gasket

    The K-Series engine can have an issue with its head gasket. Here at Beech Hill Garage every vehicle we change a cylinder head gasket on is fitted with one of our own "reconditioned" cylinder heads. Each unit is crack tested, pressure tested and face skimmed. By doing this we know we are fitting a good unit to your car. We use the latest evolution of gasket. This is a genuine MG Rover multi layered steel (MLS) gasket and stainless steel dowels. No other gasket will do.

  • Hydrogas Ride Height Adjustment

    An important part of owning certain models is the adjustment of the Hydrogas suspension. We have the right tools, environment and experience to make this routine.

  • Mazda Gear Box Conversion

    If you are going to use your MGB for everyday use, for competition, or your current gearbox is giving you trouble then our Mazda gearbox conversion might be an ideal solution for you.

  • MOT for Your Classic Car

    Classic cars are special, and we can provide MOT testing for yours.

  • Exide Vintage Batteries

    Fitting the correct battery to a classic is crucial. We stock Exide Vintage 6V batteries.

  • Waxoyl Treatment

    We clean and air dry the underside of your cherished classic and treat with a choice of clear or black waxoyl.

  • Classic Car Storage

    If you need to store your classic car for a short period or more long term, wouldn't it be reassuring to know that it was being stored by a highly skilled professional team who love their work?

  • Courtesy Cars

    When your car is with us we have a wide selection of courtesy cars for you to use.
