About the journey
Your local garage for Solihull drivers
Solihull is an affluent West Midlands town about 25 to 30 minutes from our garage via the A441 north through Hopwood and then the A435 towards Solihull. It is one of the further areas we regularly serve, but we see a consistent number of Solihull customers — often those who have been disappointed by main dealer pricing, want a second opinion on a quote, or are looking for a garage that communicates clearly about what needs doing and what can wait.
Touchwood shopping centre in the heart of Solihull town centre is the main retail landmark, and the wider Solihull area is closely associated with Jaguar Land Rover — the JLR Solihull plant at Lode Lane manufactures Land Rover Defender, Discovery, and Range Rover models and is one of the largest car manufacturing facilities in the UK. As a result, we see a disproportionate number of Land Rovers, Range Rovers, and Discoveries from Solihull customers compared to most other areas. JLR vehicles in particular accumulate service and diagnostic issues over high mileage, and owners who want to move away from main dealer servicing costs often look for an experienced independent as an alternative.
Shirley, at the southern edge of Solihull, is the closest part of the metropolitan borough to the A441 corridor and therefore the easiest for Solihull customers to reach Bromsgrove. Shirley itself has a number of independent garages, but customers from the Shirley end of Solihull who have visited us often say the additional 10 to 15 minutes on the A441 is worth it for a garage they trust.
Dickens Heath and Cheswick Green, newer residential developments between Shirley and the open countryside on the Solihull southern fringe, sit at the very edge of the metropolitan area. Blythe Valley Park and the surrounding Dorridge area are further into Warwickshire but within a comparable travel window. Customers from all of these settlements reach us on the A435 and A441 routes.
The Solihull vehicle mix is skewed towards newer, better-maintained cars compared to many other areas we serve. Premium brands — Land Rover, Jaguar, BMW, Mercedes — are well represented, and customers from this area often want a garage that is comfortable working on these vehicles rather than defaulting to the main dealer for every job. We carry out diagnostics, servicing, and mechanical repairs on premium marques and explain what we find in plain terms rather than technical justification.
We carry out MOT testing, full and major servicing, diagnostics and fault code reading for premium brands, timing belt replacement, brakes, tyres, clutch work, air conditioning regas, and all standard mechanical repairs for Solihull customers. Book online or call 01527 336608 — we will give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Approximately 25 to 30 minutes from Solihull via the A441 south through Hopwood into Bromsgrove.

Common questions
- Is it practical to come from Solihull to Bromsgrove for a garage?
- Many Solihull customers find the 25 to 30 minute drive worthwhile — particularly those who have received expensive quotes from main dealers and want a straightforward second opinion from an independent. We give clear pricing before work starts and explain what was found rather than presenting a list of line items.
- Do you work on Land Rovers and Range Rovers from the Solihull area?
- Yes. Given Solihull's association with JLR, Land Rovers and Range Rovers are a regular part of our work from that direction. We carry out servicing, diagnostics, and mechanical repairs across the Land Rover range — Defender, Discovery, Freelander, and Range Rover models.
- Do you carry out diagnostics on premium brands like BMW, Mercedes, and Jaguar?
- Yes. Our diagnostic equipment covers premium brands as well as mainstream vehicles. We read manufacturer-level fault codes and live data rather than relying on generic OBD readers, which matters for complex fault diagnosis on premium marques.
- What is the best route from Solihull to the garage?
- Take the A435 south from Solihull towards the A441 junction near Hopwood. Then take the A441 south into Bromsgrove. The garage is at 49 Kidderminster Road — approximately 25 to 30 minutes from Solihull town centre.
