The main goal of Wheatsheaf Garage is to create a loyal and trusting client relationship by providing high levels of customer service and building a reputation of high quality work provided by our workers so that customers will return knowing they have recieved the best care for their vehicles.

Wheatsheaf Garage has operated since 1920 by the Allport family. We bought the garage in 1988 after selling our coach business to Cumberland Motor Services. We have been based in Brigham since 1946. In 2000 we expanded into an additional premises which more than doubled our floor space. We were one of the first garages in the UK to update our MOT facilities to an automated test lane. We now have 5 vehicle service bays as well as the MOT test lane.

Wheatsheaf Garage has been in business for over 20 years and has been providing professional motor services. We are also on the VSCC (vintage car clubs) list of MOT testing stations. There are also a small selection of cars for sale at the garage which can be viewed by clicking on the link above, all vehicles sold have 12 months MOT, tax and 3 months warranty.

Vehicles still under manufacturers warranty - we would like to make people aware that any vehicle still inside its warranty period is able to be serviced by ourselves without invalidating the warranty.  We have access to all service schedules fitting recommended parts and lubricants as well as being able to cancel the dashboard service indicator.  This is legislated for under the ‘block exemption scheme’.

We can collect and deliver to your vehicle to your home and we also have two loan cars available.

Why pay dealer prices when you can have the convenience and personal service offered by ourselves!

We have vast experience of Classic cars from 1925-1965 especially MGB's and will be happy to discuss any work/improvements you may need.

We have 4 members of staff and between us we have more than 100 years experience.  All staff regularly attend training courses keeping us up to date with the latest technology.

We are on holiday in the area and our vehicle developed a problem. Bill was very busy and couldn't fix it at such short notice. He did however recommend another repairer who was able to replace a broken coil spring on the day. Thanks Bill without your thoughtfulness, we would have been in trouble!
