Every job here is done by James Snow, the owner and mechanic. The person who quotes your car is the person who turns up to it.
SV Autos covers Exning from our base in Soham, roughly a quarter of an hour away. That makes us a properly local mobile mechanic for the village, not someone driving out from Cambridge or further afield. We come to you, work on the car where it's parked, and get most jobs finished there and then.
Exning sits just north-west of Newmarket, close enough that a lot of people here work in the town or commute on towards Cambridge. Instead of booking a garage in Newmarket and sorting out how to get home, you can have the work done on your own driveway while you carry on with the day.
There are 1,567 cars licensed in Exning, 46% more than in 2011, and another 136 are currently declared off the road.
Putting one of those back on the road means taxing it, and you cannot tax a car without a valid MOT.
What can you do at my home in Exning?
Most jobs a garage does, done on your driveway. Open any service for what's involved and how we price it.
Stud country, and the traffic that comes with it
Exning is ringed by stud farms and gallops, so the lanes around the village see their share of horsebox and 4x4 traffic alongside the commuter cars. If your vehicle is doing regular short hops on those narrow roads plus the run into Newmarket, it's the stop-start mileage that catches up with brakes and the clutch first. Worth having looked at during a service rather than left to become a bigger bill.
This is chalk, not fen
Exning sits on the chalk heath west of the fen edge, so the roads here aren't the cracked, sinking peat lanes you get further north. That's easier on your suspension and alloys, but the everyday things still wear at the usual rate, tyres, pads, discs, battery. We'd rather catch those at a service than have you stranded on the verge somewhere between here and Newmarket.
Thirteen minutes away, so it is usually quick
We're about thirteen minutes up the road in Soham, which is close enough that a car refusing to start in the morning is often a same-day or next-day job rather than a wait for a slot. We turn up with the diagnostic kit and the parts these jobs usually need, so most of it is finished in the one visit, wherever the car is sitting.

What if it doesn’t go to plan?
You get the price before anything starts. If we open it up and find something else, we stop, tell you what it is and what it costs, and you decide whether to carry on.
Some jobs genuinely need a ramp. We say so rather than have a go, and point you to a workshop. The £20 call-out still applies, because we have come out and looked at it.
There is nothing to pay up front and no cancellation fee. You settle up once the work is done, by card, cash or bank transfer.
