About the journey
Your local garage for Hockley drivers
Hockley is the inner-city Birmingham district just east of us, next to the Jewellery Quarter, and most Hockley drivers reach Cranford Street in under 10 minutes by heading west through Winson Green. It is one of the shortest journeys of any area we serve.
Hockley mixes workshops, small manufacturers and jewellery trade businesses with newer flats and older terraces. The vehicles we see from Hockley reflect that: vans from local businesses, practical cars from residents, and plenty of cars that only ever do short city trips.
Short city journeys are hard on a car. Engines rarely reach full temperature, diesel particulate filters struggle to regenerate, and batteries never get a proper charge. For Hockley customers we pay particular attention to DPF health, battery condition and oil quality at every service.
Stop-start driving around Hockley Circus and the Jewellery Quarter also wears brake pads and discs faster than mixed driving. We measure them at every visit and show you the readings rather than guessing.
We carry out the full range of work for Hockley customers: MOT testing, servicing, brakes, tyres, diagnostics, timing belt changes, clutch and gearbox repairs, and mechanical work. Call 0121 461 6097 or book online to confirm availability.
Around 1.5 miles west of Hockley — under 10 minutes via Winson Green.

Common questions
- How far is the garage from Hockley?
- About 1.5 miles. Head west through Winson Green towards Cape Hill and Cranford Street is just beyond. Under 10 minutes outside rush hour.
- Can I drop off and collect same day from Hockley?
- For most MOTs and routine services, yes. Book online or call 0121 461 6097 and we will confirm a realistic collection time before you leave.
- My car only does short trips around Hockley — is that a problem?
- It can be, especially for diesels with a DPF. Short trips stop the filter regenerating and let moisture build up in the oil. We check both at service and advise on whether a longer run or a DPF clean is needed.
