At 1st Call, we provide a wide range of mechanical repair and servicing work from our workshop in Chawston, near St Neots. With more than 25 years’ experience in the motor trade, we work with private motorists, tradespeople and small businesses throughout Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire.
Whether your vehicle has developed a fault, needs routine maintenance or simply doesn’t feel right when you drive it, we can inspect the vehicle, identify the problem and advise you on the work required.
Mechanical Fault Finding & Repairs
Sometimes the problem is obvious. Other times, you may simply notice a new noise, vibration, loss of performance or a change in the way the vehicle feels.
You don’t need to diagnose the problem yourself before bringing the vehicle to us. Our job is to investigate the symptoms, identify the likely cause and recommend the appropriate repair.
We undertake a wide range of general mechanical work on cars and light commercial vehicles, from everyday maintenance through to more involved repair work.
If your vehicle cannot be driven safely or is a complete non-starter, we can also arrange collection from your home or workplace.
Car & Van Servicing
Regular servicing is one of the simplest ways to help keep your vehicle dependable and reduce the likelihood of unexpected repair bills.
We provide routine servicing for cars and light commercial vehicles, checking key mechanical components and replacing service items where required.
Servicing can also provide an opportunity to spot wear, leaks or developing faults before they become larger problems.
Whether you use your vehicle for everyday journeys, commuting or running your business, we can help you keep on top of the maintenance it needs.

Preparing for MOT
If your MOT is approaching and you already know the vehicle needs attention, we can carry out repairs and maintenance before it is tested.
Although we do not carry out MOT testing ourselves, we work with a trusted partner garage and can arrange the MOT on your behalf.
If additional repair work is required following the test, we can also help get the vehicle back into the correct condition for its retest.
This means you can deal with the mechanical work and MOT process in one place.
Mechanical Repairs for Vans & Light Commercial Vehicles
We understand how important a reliable vehicle is when you depend on it for work. A mechanical fault on a van can quickly become more than an inconvenience, particularly for tradespeople and small businesses where having the vehicle off the road can mean losing valuable working time.
We work on cars and light commercial vehicles, providing servicing, maintenance and mechanical repairs with the aim of identifying problems efficiently and getting your vehicle back on the road as soon as practical.
Classic Vehicle Restoration & Modification
With more than 25 years in the motor trade, our experience also extends beyond everyday modern vehicles. We can undertake mechanical work as part of classic and vintage vehicle restoration projects, as well as modifications and upgrades where required.
Older vehicles can often require a more considered approach, particularly where original components are worn, obsolete or difficult to source. We can assess the vehicle, discuss what you are looking to achieve and recommend an appropriate way forward.
Our mechanical and auto electrical expertise can also be particularly useful on restoration projects where work involves several different vehicle systems.
