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 Stretham from our base in Soham, roughly ten minutes away, so you get a local mobile mechanic rather than someone billing you for the drive out from Cambridge or Ely. James comes to the village, works on your own driveway, and turns up with the tools and the common parts to finish most jobs in one visit.
Stretham sits right on the A10 between Ely and Cambridge, and a lot of people here are running that road every working day. We'd rather catch it at a service on your drive than have you stuck on a verge somewhere.
There are 1,643 cars licensed in Stretham, 28% more than in 2011, and another 214 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 Stretham?
Most jobs a garage does, done on your driveway. Open any service for what's involved and how we price it.
The A10 is where the miles pile on
Stretham is on the A10 that links Ely to Cambridge, and it also meets the A1123 that runs out west towards Wilburton and Haddenham. If you're commuting one of those roads daily you're doing the kind of steady mileage that eats pads, discs and clutch plates without much warning. A proper interim or full service keeps on top of it, and we do it at your house while you get on with your day.
Fen roads are hard on wheels and suspension
This is proper fen country, and the land here is drained peat that shrinks and settles as it dries out. That's why so many of the roads and droves around Stretham are bumpy, cracked and prone to potholes. It's rough on tyres, alloys, suspension and your tracking, so if the car's started pulling to one side or the ride feels off after a bad stretch of lane, that's worth a look before it wears the tyres unevenly.
Stretham and the places around it
From Stretham we also reach Little Thetford, Wilburton and Haddenham, with Ely a few minutes up the A10.
Nearby areas we cover
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.
