Essex About Us

About Thornwood Motor Company

With 40 years of experience in the industry, my journey began with a traditional five-year apprenticeship at the Post Office. I spent 3½ years working in their car workshop, followed by another 1½ years in the HGV workshop, specialising in Arctic vehicles and trailers. I completed my City & Guilds qualifications during this time.

Just before turning 21, I became an RAC patrol in the West End, earning the distinction of being the youngest RAC patrol in the British Isles. I spent many years in rescue and recovery, developing an advanced skill set in diagnostics. At one point, I served as the transport manager for a large rescue and recovery company.

I operate an appointment-only service to ensure that I can dedicate the proper time and attention to your vehicle's needs, rather than simply having it sit in the garage.

My hours are 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday to Friday 
But I’m happy to take calls outside of these hours for your convenience.

Frequently asked questions

How Much Does Brake Repair and Replacement Cost in the UK? Depending on what parts of the brake system need to be replaced, you can expect a brake repair or replacement to cost anywhere from £100 to £500. Sometimes you may just need a brake fluid check and top up which can cost around £40.

If your brake pads are worn, it's not safe to continue driving and you should have them replaced as soon as possible.

Many new and modern vehicles may not need a full service, but it is worth keeping it in optimum condition. By servicing your car regularly, you will save money in the long run by avoiding major breakdowns and costly repairs.

This type of service is undertaken by a qualified mechanic and is often done in conjunction with an oil change and repairing general wear and tear. The full car service includes checking the brakes, suspension, steering, exhaust, oil, fluids, and lights, as well as performing an overall safety check

New oil and air filters make for a smoother running engine and a more fuel efficient car, while addressing issues such as under inflated tyres will reduce rolling resistance and improve fuel consumption.
