AMD is an independent garage at 177 North Station Road, Colchester, between the town centre and the station. We repair cars: brakes, servicing, clutches, gearboxes, exhausts, welding and anything an MOT fails on, and we fit tyres while you wait.
Ring and you speak to the people doing the work. We tell you what a job starts at before you bring the car in, and we do nothing you have not agreed to.

How a repair works here
-
Ring or drive in
Tell us what the car is doing. If it is a job we price by the axle or the tier, you get the number there and then.
-
We look before we quote
Where it depends on what we find, we look at the car first and give you the price before any work starts.
-
We ring before anything extra
If we find something else once the car is up, we tell you what it is and what it costs before we touch it.
Where to find us
177 North Station Road
Colchester, Essex
CO1 1UX
We are on North Station Road, the main road between the town centre and Colchester station. If you are coming off a train it is a short walk.
There are tyres racked outside and the sign says Tyres, Brakes and Service, so you will not drive past it twice.
Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay are all fine, as well as cash.
Car playing up?
Ring the workshop and you will speak to the people doing the work. If we can fit you in the same day, we will tell you straight away.
Open now until 18:00

Questions we get asked
Are you a mechanic or a tyre shop?
Both. We are an independent garage. Tyres are fitted while you wait, and the same workshop does brakes, servicing, clutches, gearboxes, exhausts, welding and MOT repairs.
Do you do MOTs?
No. We are not an MOT test station, so we cannot do the test itself. What we do is everything a car fails on, and everything that comes up as an advisory: brakes, tyres, suspension, exhausts, corrosion and welding. Bring us the failure sheet and we will tell you what it costs to put right.
Will you do work I have not agreed to?
No. If we find something else once the car is up, we ring you and tell you what it is and what it costs before we touch it.
