Roade Main Garage

Roade Main Garage is a family-run garage in Roade, south of Northampton, serving local drivers since the 1960s. The Hemming family describes it as an independent center for cars and vans, offering maintenance, repairs, and inspections. Its team works on a range of makes and says it has particular experience with Land Rover, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and Volkswagen.

Servicing covers routine maintenance and checks of components such as lights, steering, suspension, and tires. For breakdowns, the garage offers diagnostics and repairs, along with work on brakes, clutches, gearboxes, batteries, exhausts, and air conditioning. The website says the team first assesses the vehicle and then explains any recommended work to the customer.

MOT testing, the UK’s required roadworthiness inspection, is an important part of its work. Roade Main Garage says it tests cars and vans, as well as larger vehicles within MOT classes 4 and 7, up to a published limit of 3,500 kg. If the inspection identifies a problem, the garage provides a quote before repairs and asks for approval before proceeding.

The service list also includes tires, wheel alignment, and repairs involving brakes, clutches, and transmissions. For people looking to change vehicles, the business also sells used cars alongside its garage services. That combination lets customers ask at one location about maintaining a current vehicle or finding another one.

Roade Main Garage advertises financing options for certain bills and vehicle collection and return services. Courtesy cars may also be available; the company asks customers to check when booking. These options can help when a vehicle needs to remain at the garage, although availability depends on the job and advance arrangements.

On its service pages, the business says it explains recommended repairs after inspecting a vehicle and does not add hidden charges. Customers can request a quote by phone or contact the garage to arrange a date. Scheduling depends on the type of work, required parts, and the team’s availability.

The garage is on Stratford Road in Roade, within the Northampton area. Its work combines MOT inspections, general servicing, repairs across several makes, and used-car sales, with a family history that the company traces back several decades.
