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 Haddenham from our base in Soham, roughly fifteen minutes away on the A1123. That means a local mobile mechanic who actually knows the area, not someone charging you for a long drive out from Cambridge or Ely. We come to your door and get most work done on the driveway.
Haddenham sits high for a fen village, up on a clay island above the flat land around it, and most people here are driving out to Ely, Cambridge or the A10 for work and shopping. Booking a garage usually means a lift there and back, so we bring the job to you instead.
There are 2,093 cars licensed in Haddenham, 14% more than in 2011, and another 324 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 Haddenham?
Most jobs a garage does, done on your driveway. Open any service for what's involved and how we price it.
The lanes off the hill are hard on tyres and tracking
Haddenham stands on a clay island, but the roads dropping off it and running out across the fen are laid on drained peat that shrinks and settles as it dries. That's why the fen lanes crack, ripple and throw up potholes. It's rough on tyres, alloys, suspension and your wheel alignment, so if the steering has started pulling or a tyre's wearing on one edge, it's worth getting the tracking checked before it eats a set of tyres.
Farmland all around means filters clog sooner
There's open farmland right up to the edge of the village, so air and cabin filters here fill with dust quicker than they would in town, which effectively shortens the interval before they need changing. Come harvest the tractors leave plenty of mud on the lanes too. It's a small thing, but a clogged filter drags on fuel and cabin airflow, and it's the kind of check we sort while we're already with the car.
By the Great Mill and across CB6
We cover all of Haddenham, from the streets up by the restored Great Mill windmill to the newer houses on the edges, plus the smaller places nearby like Aldreth and Wentworth. From here we also reach Wilburton, Sutton, Stretham and Witchford.
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.
