Business overview

Call today for an appointment, see our website for more information.

Carpenters Garage is a family run independent garage, established in 1979. Originally founded by Derek Gingell, it is now run by his two sons, Stephen and Tony. We employ three other mechanics - Branden, Andrew and Gary, and the office staff consists of Sarah and Tony. The business has invested in diagnostic equipment from VCDS, Bosch, Snap-On and Pico. In 2017 we upgraded our tracking/wheel alignment to a Supertracker 120B, which gives suspension measurements for all four wheels and a comprehensive before and after print out. The Air Conditioning machine was replaced with a Texa Komfort 710R and the Snap-On Solus Pro was replaced with the newer Modis Ultra.

We offer a full range of services for cars and light commercials in south west London, including Tooting, Wandsworth, Wimbledon, Merton, Streatham, Mitcham, Colliers Wood, Balham, Tooting Bec, Tooting Graveney and Furzedown. (SW12 SW16 SW17 SW19 CR4)

We give clear explanations about the work required on your vehicle so that you understand what needs to be carried out and you don't need to be an expert. A full invoice will give a complete breakdown of work done, parts used, labour and Vat.

We welcome any enquiries regarding our car maintenance and repair work, or for booking appointments.

Please note: We carry out scooter and Motorcycle MOT's ONLY. We do not do servicing or repairs.

Reviews

Very happy to recommend Carpenters as a professional and trustworthy garage

I have been a customer of Carpenters for many years now - I trust them to fix my car and not find fault for the sake of it. They have been kind enough to fit me in when an emergency and carried out attendant work free of charge if a simple fix. I highly recommend them.

Great service - would 100% recommend

The people I dealt with over the phone and at the garage were lovely. They fitted me in for an MOT on the same day. I got the feeling they were very honest and wouldn't mug me off which is always a worry as I know nothing about cars! Thanks for the great service, will definitely be back next year :)

Excellent Family-run Garage

I have used Carpenters for years and they have been brilliant. Great service, friendly, efficient and an honest mechanic. Not a single complaint from me. Sadly I have moved away and need to find another garage or I would still be taking my car there.

I called in as I was driving through the area and my engine light was flashing "faulty" and although they couldn't fit me in (same as another garage in the area), they checked my brakes, oil and water and made sure I was safe to drive without charge. The other garage just sent me away. Really nice and will go back to get it booked in.
