When we meet new customers from Walthamstow, they often tend to talk about differences between a main dealership and independent garage.

Apex Car Repairs Ltd is always happy to provide an answer.

Why should I use you as a BMW specialist or a Ford specialist?

A main dealership will be tied to one marque only so, if advertising as a BMW specialist or a Ford specialist in Walthamstow, all work is undertaken on models from one specific brand. We specialise in both, and our garage also services and repairs all other makes and models.

For work on BMW and Ford models, we promise every service and repair undertaken matches the standards applied by a local main dealership.

Do you offer different types of car servicing?

Yes. You can book in for major car servicing to the specifications a manufacturer would use after 24 months or 24,000 miles. You can also book in for a full service, which is a form of scheduled maintenance applied after 12 months, or after 12,000 miles, of use on the road.

Motorists from Walthamstow can even use us for interim car servicing after 6 months or 6,000 miles if they cover more mileage each year.

Are you an authorised MOT testing facility?

Yes. Our garage in Chingford has DVSA approval, as does our team. It is possible to book in for MOT testing up to 1 full month before the current certificate expires, and we perform inspections in the Class IV and Class VII categories to cover cars, LCVs and service models.

Service models include ambulances, taxis and more. If a car fails an annual test, we undertake repair work and perform a free re-test.

Which components do brake repairs usually cover?

Most brake repairs undertaken for our customers in Walthamstow focus on the pads, discs, drums or shoes, but we also repair brake lines and replace calipers. We do this using OEM parts unless you visit us to have the brakes repaired on any model issued by BMW or by Ford.

On these marques, we use genuine manufacturer parts. We do, however, allow you to specify aftermarket parts if these are your preference.

Do you use high-end components for exhaust repairs too?

Yes, we do. Apex Car Repairs Ltd has strong relationships with motor factors in the Chingford and Walthamstow areas, so we can have parts or systems delivered to our garage within the hour so that your car can be fitted out, inspected and returned to the road without delay.

All exhaust repairs are undertaken using the best aftermarket parts, all of which are backed by a long, reassuring manufacturer warranty.

Can you perform vehicle diagnostics for subsystem issues?

Definitely! Our garage invests heavily into engine management and is able to use manufacturer-approved technologies to isolate faults in the subsystem. Vehicle diagnostics involve us plugging code readers into the port of the ECU, which allows us to retrieve stored codes.

By cross-referencing these fault codes, we can make a recommendation on repairs. Diagnostics are faster than mechanical troubleshooting.

Can I genuinely trust your garage with my car?

Apex Car Repairs Ltd has an excellent reputation in Walthamstow, and our independent garage in Chingford can be trusted in much the same way as a dealership because we work to the same servicing and repair schedules. This means you receive a like-for-like service from Apex.

The only difference you will see when using an independent garage is in the price, which we promise will be fair and highly competitive.

Our services include:

Walthamstow is a key service area for our company and we can offer a warm welcome to all motorists across the Greater London area. If you would like to use us as a BMW specialist or a Ford specialist, there will be no differences at all in our services, nor in our delivery.
