The workshop
A family garage, not a fast-fit chain
A & B Motors has been at Unit 29, IO Trade Centre, Croydon CR0 4QE since 1995. Same family, same standard: quote first, explain the job, and only do what the car needs.
Local, and staying that way
We know many of our customers by name. You speak to the workshop, not a call centre, and we will still be here next MOT.
In when we say, out when we say
Most routine work is same day. You get a realistic finish time before we start, and a call if that changes.
Every make we are asked to look at
Hatchbacks, SUVs and light vans. Diagnostics, servicing and MOT testing are all done in-house.
See the bays
Photographs from the IO Trade Centre: the bays, the Unit 29 reception, and an AA recovery drop-off we work with closely.
AA recovery
We work closely with the AA
When the AA recovers a car locally, it often comes here. We inspect it in the same bays as booked MOTs and services, explain what it needs, and repair it so it can go back on the road. If you have been recovered, call 020 8037 8486 and we will pick up from there.

Reviews
What Croydon drivers say
Honest work, clear prices, and a phone call if anything changes. That is the garage people come back to.
“Been bringing my cars to A & B Motors for years. Always honest, always reliable. They never try to sell you something you don't need, just straight advice and quality work. Wouldn't go anywhere else.”
Mark T

“Booked my MOT online and the whole process was seamless. The team were friendly, explained everything clearly and had me back on the road the same day. Really reasonable prices too. Highly recommend.”
Sarah J

“My warning light came on and I was worried it was going to be expensive. A & B Motors diagnosed the fault quickly, explained exactly what was needed and fixed it the same afternoon. Great service and no nasty surprises on the bill.”
