Got a problem with your car? Call the experts at MR T Autos

There’s a new business in town and the name is MR T Autos, writes Rachel Wakefield.

Don’t 'be no fool' with the name, as there is no tough-talking, gold jewellery-wearing, maverick attitude here. Instead, MR T, himself, is Andy Thurgood, a garage owner with a big, generous reputation in Maidenhead.

MR T Autos is his new enterprise offering drivers, of all makes and models, a one stop-shop for car servicing, MOTs and repairs.

From the moment you drive your car to Unit 4, Andy’s honest and straight-forward character takes over the business of getting your car ready for the road.

His qualified team of mechanics can help you with any aspect of your car: from replacing the windscreen and tyres to body and paintwork, all in his new base in Cordwallis Commercials in Cordwallis Street.

Andy has an envious motoring CV that involves working on commercial and private vehicles, from the pit-stop of the racing track up to after-sales management and a co-founder of Six Bays.

But why should you trust this mechanic?

Knowing we all want to avoid the bills on our four-wheels, particularly the expensive ones that most garages like to shock us with;  Andy, would much rather talk sensibly about the work, assess it with your lifestyle and driving usage, and effectively, put you back in control of the spending on your car.

“After our thorough checks, my mechanics won’t do anything to the car until the customer knows what’s wrong,” assures Andy, adding: “As much as I know about the fixing of cars, it’s always important to understand the driver too.”

Andy’s smart philosophy is simple: put the driver in the seat of spending control.

“We’ll talk through the proposed work, in everyday language,” says Andy, “and we’ll agree the expenditure, and we show you the work we’ve done afterwards, to make sure you’re entirely satisfied.”

One customer, who has moved his business to MR T Autos, knows all too clearly why he trusts Andy.

Robb Gravett, is a former British Touring Car Champion, who since retiring from the World-Class stage has a highly successful business, Ultimate Car Control UK, which aims to sharpen motorists’ skills through safe driver training.

Once you’ve got your car under control, how about learning some accident avoidance techniques with Ultimate Car Control UK?

Robb says: “My DX (Drive Extra) is a driving programme aimed at young and inexperienced drivers. The British Insurance Brokers Association fully supports and accredits this programme.”

To Robb, the importance of finding a garage technician that repairs, services and improves his motors is vital.

Robb points out: “As a professional racing driver for more than 16 years, I was used to the technical skills of my team on the track. It’s a different story when looking for that kind of service from a garage.”

He continues: “Over the years, I’ve been taking my cars to Andy, nothing has been over the realms of his capabilities.”

But it’s not only the trust that gets Robb’s thumbs up, the price is a big factor too.

“With Andy, there are no hidden surprises,” says Robb. “He keeps the bills down to a minimum and he keeps my custom.

“I fully support Andy’s new business with MR T Autos as I know his team will meet my expectation of service and budget, at all times.”
