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 Kentford from our base in Soham, about fifteen minutes up the road, so you get a local mobile mechanic rather than someone driving out from Cambridge or Bury. We come to the car wherever it is sitting, at home or at work, so nothing has to be dropped off and nobody has to run you back.
Being just off the A14 close to Newmarket, a lot of the driving people do here is dual-carriageway commuting, over to Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds or further afield.
What can you do at my home in Kentford?
Most jobs a garage does, done on your driveway. Open any service for what's involved and how we price it.
Fifteen minutes out, and finished in one visit
Kentford is about fifteen minutes from us, so a car that will not start is usually a same-day or next-day job. We bring the tools and the parts these jobs normally take, and the car does not move: we work on it at the house or at your work, as long as there is a safe, legal spot with room to support it. For most people that is the difference between losing half a day and getting on with things.
On the A14 corridor east of Newmarket
Kentford sits on the chalk and breck edge just east of Newmarket, close to the River Kennett, with the A14 running right past and the A142 nearby up to Newmarket. It's a fast, busy road, and plenty of local cars rack up steady commuting miles on it towards Cambridge or Bury St Edmunds. That kind of mileage quietly wears brake pads, tyres and clutches, so it's worth having them checked at a service rather than waiting for a noise or a warning light.
Kentford and the villages nearby, covered too
From Kentford we also reach Moulton, Gazeley, Higham and across to Newmarket and Red Lodge.
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.
