Something feels off with your car? We will run a full diagnostic check, talk you through any faults, repairs required, and best-practice maintenance advice.
Junior's Auto Workshop is an independent car repair garage in Hitchin, established in 2014. We are a family-run business known for honest pricing, genuine expertise, and straightforward advice.
We work on petrol and diesel cars of all makes, with specific expertise in Ford, Volkswagen, Audi, Hyundai, Vauxhall, Peugeot, and BMW repairs. From routine maintenance to complex diagnostics, we handle it all.
Engine warning lights, dashboard warning lights, oil leaks, or anything that does not look right. Do not ignore it — early diagnosis is almost always cheaper than delayed repair.
Unusual sounds from the engine, banging when you accelerate, rattling at speed, or any noise that was not there before.
Loss of traction, the car shaking while driving, pulling to one side, or a noticeable drop in power or acceleration.
We will run all the necessary checks to identify the source of the problem, explain what needs fixing, and advise you on how to keep the car in good shape going forward.
We believe everyone should feel completely safe in their car. If something is making you think twice, come and get it checked.
If the problem turns out to be a 5-mins fix, we will not charge you. All we ask is that if you have a moment, leave us a review and let others know about your experience — it means a great deal to us. Do not just take our word for it — check our reviews.
We offer a free online booking system — no payment required upfront. Book your appointment, bring the car in, and Junior will inspect it, explain what needs doing, and quote you on the spot. Some customers prefer to request a quote first via WhatsApp on +44 7700 106919 before booking.
