Pickwell Auto Centre has over 5 years serving Reading, Basingstoke and Wokingham with MOT testing, dealer-level diagnostics, German car expertise and hybrid or EV work. Our IMI certified technicians offer budget-friendly repairs, same-day service, warranty on repairs, and a friendly local garage experience with free WiFi, courtesy car and collection and delivery when booked in advance.
We are DVSA-approved for MOT testing and RAC-approved as a garage. That means you book knowing we meet independent quality standards, not just our own.
For us the approach is simple. Find out what the car actually needs, tell the customer clearly, quote before we start, and do the job properly. No extras added without agreement. No pressure. Just good work.
We aim to keep every vehicle safe and roadworthy, with advice you can act on. If a job can wait, we say so. If it cannot, we explain why.
