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 Isleham from our base in Soham, about ten minutes to the west of you, so you get a mechanic who's genuinely local rather than one charging you for the drive out from Ely or Newmarket. Isleham sits out near the Suffolk border, and whatever you book, the car still has to get there and you still have to get home. We come to you instead, so neither of those is your problem.
It's a big fen village with a lot of people commuting out each day, over towards Soham and Ely, out to Mildenhall, or down the A11 and A14. We come to the house and get most of it done there and then while you carry on with your day.
There are 1,776 cars licensed in Isleham, 30% more than in 2011, and another 217 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.

Isleham and the places around it
Isleham sits out by the River Lark near the county line, and from here we also reach Freckenham, Prickwillow, Fordham and across to Mildenhall.
Fen roads are hard on tyres and suspension
The lanes out to Isleham run over drained fen peat, and that ground shrinks and sinks as it dries, which is why the roads out here crack, ripple and throw up potholes. That's tough going for tyres, alloys, suspension and your tracking. If the steering's started pulling to one side or a wheel's begun to judder, it's worth getting looked at before it wears the tyres unevenly, and we can check it on your drive.
Surrounded by farmland, so filters fill up faster
Isleham is ringed by open farmland, and around fields like that the air and cabin filters clog up quicker than the book intervals assume, so they're worth checking more often than a town car's would be. Come harvest time the lanes get a coating of mud off the tractors too, which is just something to bear in mind on the drive out. We keep an eye on the filters at every service.

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.
