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

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.
