About Us​

​

We are a local, family-run garage located in the heart of the Frampton Cotterell village. We are easily accessible from Yate, the ring road and M32. We have a combination of two sites, within a minute's walk of each other. The workshop opened in 2011  on Woodend Road and was the beginning of the Frampton Garage business. We started off with 3 ramps and only one mechanic. This quickly expanded and by 2015 we had 6 ramps and 8 full time employees. 

​

We built the office (pictured) on The Causeway in 2015 to create a space for customers to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee away from the hustle and bustle of the workshop. Our office facilities include; a bean to cup coffee machine, toilet access, fish tank and the accessibility to watch your vehicle as it is having an MOT or other repairs. Customers can drop-off and collect their vehicles from the car park, completely hassle free.

​

We are continuing to expand and now have a third building (pictured) for storage and a total of 13 full-time employees.  We are overwhelmed by the amount of support we have had from the community and appreciate all the custom from the locals of Frampton Cotterell and Coalpit Heath, we even have customers who travel from far away including Greece, Spain and Scotland!

​

History

 

Frampton Garage has been open since May 2011, to be used once again as a vehicle repair centre. Previously it has been a toy shop, bike shop and operated as a garage and petrol station until the owner retired and it was unused for many many years. The office on The Causeway opened in late 2015. It operated as a hairdressers right up until early 2015 before it was torn down and rebuilt into an office and the derelict land turned into a car park and storage. 

​

The Team

​

We are a local, family-run business with an extensive range of knowledge and equipment to carry out most repairs. Frampton Garage initially began with just 2 full-time employees consisting of just one mechanic and one member of clerical staff. In just 12 short years we have over 15 members within the team, each with many years experience within the industry from various other garages and hobbies. Each technician has a range of knowledge on all makes and models and therefore we welcome a variety of vehicles from classics to modern vehicles. Please see our gallery for updates on some of the vehicles we have recently worked on.

​

The team are kept up to date with training and are persistently improving upon their knowledge in order to accommodate new changes to vehicles and mechanics. All our MOT testers are monitored by VOSA and maintain all MOT rules and licensing, please see our policies page or pop into the office for more information on the MOT licensing.

Parking

We try our best to be mindful of our neighbours when parking. We cannot be held responsible for all the vehicles on the road in the surrounding areas but we can be held responsible for the parking whilst vehicles are being repaired at Frampton Garage within working hours. We aim to keep all vehicles off the public roads as much as possible by parking them on the driveway, in the car park or in the workshop. However when out of hours we cannot monitor any vehicles that have been dropped off and therefore ask our customers to be considerate when parking. Please do not block any driveways, pathways or park outside neighbouring properties if possible. Please park straight, close to the kerb and respectfully. Ensure that larger vehicles and emergency vehicles can pass by you freely. Ensure that pedestrians have full access to the pathways. Please try to bring your vehicle as close as you can to your appointment time so that vehicles are not parked close-by unnecessarily and collect as soon as possible when we have called you to say the car is ready. We would like to thank you for your cooperation.
