About Ash Mechanic
A proper local garage in Birmingham — built on honest advice, fair prices and repairs that last.
Our story
Ash Mechanic started with a simple frustration that most drivers know well: taking your car in, being handed a bill you don't understand, and never being quite sure whether the work was really needed.
Ash set up his own workshop on Cherrywood Road to do it differently. Every job starts with a proper look at the car and an honest explanation of what's wrong, what it will cost, and what can safely wait. Customers are shown the worn parts that come off their vehicle — no mystery, no jargon.
Years of hands-on experience across all makes and models means very little comes through the shutter that we haven't seen before. From family hatchbacks and vans to performance cars, the same care goes into every vehicle on the ramp.
That approach is why the garage is rated 4.8/5 from 150+ Google reviews and why so much of our work now comes from word of mouth.
What we stand for
Honesty first
If your car doesn't need it, we won't sell it to you. Simple as that.
Fair, clear pricing
You get a quote before we start, and the bill matches the quote.
Proper workmanship
Quality parts, correct procedures, and the job done right first time.
Fast turnaround
Most repairs are same day or next day so you're not left without a car.
Ash — Owner & Lead Mechanic
Ash is the man you'll speak to on the phone, the one who looks at your car, and the one who hands the keys back. Nothing gets passed down a chain of service advisors — you deal directly with the mechanic doing the work.
He's a Volkswagen specialist, with deep experience of VW diagnostics, DSG gearboxes, TSI and TDI engines and the known faults that catch other garages out — so Golfs, Polos, Passats, Tiguans and Transporters are diagnosed quickly and repaired properly, without dealer prices.
Above all, Ash wants you to leave feeling looked after: told the truth, charged fairly, and back on the road as fast as possible.
