Garages in Preston, Lancashire

Anyone looking for garages in Lancashire that work on Preston cars will find the full range here: national tyre and servicing chains, family workshops that have kept one district's cars running for decades, and a handful of specialists for a single make or a single part of the car. This page covers 187 businesses, from Ribbleton and Ashton-on-Ribble inside the city to Penwortham, Longton and Much Hoole on the south side.

Preston is a district of Lancashire County Council, and the businesses on this page do not stop at its edge. 131 sit in the Preston district, 53 in South Ribble, 2 in West Lancashire and 1 in Chorley. South Ribble matters here because the Penwortham, Longton and Bamber Bridge garages are close enough that a Preston driver would treat them as local. Bamber Bridge, Penwortham, Leyland and Blackpool are the places that local garages name most often as where they work.

The everyday work is servicing and repairs, with MOT testing and diagnostics close behind and tyres after that. The big names are easy to find: Halfords Autocentre Preston (Riversway) is rated 4.5 from 1172 reviews, Kwik Fit - Preston - North Road 4.7 from 668 and Kwik Fit - Preston - Market Street 4.6 from 726. Independents hold their own on review history too. A2Z MOT GARAGE is rated 4.9 from 709 reviews, and SKEFFINGTON MOT CENTRE LIMITED 4.9 from 237.

Van owners are well served. Skeffington MOT Centre tests cars and vans by booking or while you wait, Preston Autofix Garage takes cars and vans for MOTs, and Eldon Street Garage does Class 4 MOTs for cars and vans up to 3.5t. Several garages also look after light commercials and fleet vehicles, including Clock Garage in Ribbleton, which works on cars, light commercials and taxis.

Also in Preston: mot centres (69), tyre shops (78), body shops (42), auto electricians (9), car valeting (47), windscreen repair (2), vehicle recovery (20).
