About The Mini Centre

The Mini Centre is a women-owned family business that opened in 1968, with its workshop beside Avenham Park in Preston city centre and easy access to public transport. It works as a one stop shop with an MOT testing station, a tyre bay and the latest diagnostic tools, and covers jobs from changing a bulb or the oil to replacing a clutch or an engine. A collection and delivery service and breakdown recovery are offered when needed, and a free quote is given before work begins. Fast turnaround is promised. Summer checkups cover tyres, wipers and lights. The garage is not always open on Fridays, so check first. Meet the team on the garage's own pages, where staff are named. Rated 4.9 from 56 Google reviews, 53 of them five stars.
