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 Fulbourn from our base in Soham, about half an hour up the road. It's a village on the south-east edge of Cambridge, so a lot of people here are commuting into the city or over to the biomedical campus rather than driving out into the fens. We come to you and sort most jobs on your own driveway.
That short, daily city run does a particular kind of wear. Constant stop-start traffic getting in and out of Cambridge is hard on brakes and clutches, and it's the sort of thing that creeps up quietly until a service or a brake check catches it. We'd rather find it early than have you booking a tow.
There are 1,798 cars licensed in Fulbourn, 12% more than in 2011, and another 187 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 Fulbourn?
Most jobs a garage does, done on your driveway. Open any service for what's involved and how we price it.
At the campus or on the drive, whichever the car is on
If you work at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus the car is sitting in a car park all day anyway, and that is usually the easiest time for us to get to it. At home in Fulbourn most streets have a drive or room to pull off. Either works, so long as there is space to support the car safely for anything that needs a wheel off. Tell us which it'll be and we'll confirm before you book.
A commuter village, not a fen one
Fulbourn sits on the chalk on the Cambridge side, not out on the drained peat, so the roads here aren't the cracked, pothole-heavy fen droves you get further north. The wear we see is city-commute wear: brakes, clutches, tyres and batteries doing short stop-start runs day in, day out. A proper interim or full service keeps that mileage honest.

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.
