Losing you start/stop function may be something as simple as a battery replacement. Getting to these jobs quickly can mean you don't suffer a complete non-starting situation 😁

This business is small but very professional and courteous. Connor kept me in touch by email and text and sent bills electronically and by paper I’d required

I cannot recommend Hayley and her team highly enough. They have looked after my little fleet for many years and they are the most honest and helpful garage I have ever dealt with. They are all so friendly and have, on many occasions, bent over backwards to get my work van back on the road as quickly as possible. I will never go anywhere else.

About Us

Avia is now in the second generation of ownership, Hayley Pells taking over from her father, Andy Murdoch who started his automotive career with the army in the mid 1960's and his aftermarket career in the mid 1970's. Working together as equal partners for over a decade after Hayley left the RAF, the partnership came to an end when Andy wanted to spend more time with his classic motorcycle collection. Andy is still a familiar sight at the workshop since Hayley became the sole owner.

Avia Autos performs MOT class 4 testing, servicing and repairs for cars and light commercial vehicles.
