About the workshop
One pair
of hands.
On wheels.
Marcus runs Driveway Garage. Time-served light-vehicle tech, NVQ Level 3, three vans deep into a one-man business that started in a Tile Hill driveway. The tools, the diagnostic kit and the common-fail parts now live in the back of the van and turn up wherever the car is parked.
Daily work is the bread-and-butter: a service that's overdue by six months, brakes that started squealing at the lights, a warning light nobody's read in twelve months, a knock that started small and isn't small anymore. Most of these get sorted on the day.
Engine pulls, clutch jobs and gearbox swaps come back to the unit on Spon Street. Same pair of hands either way. No call-centre, no booking software, no list of upgrades you didn't ask for.

What I fix
Eight services. Six days a week.
If it isn't on the list, ring anyway. Most jobs that turn up are a combination of two or three of these. I'll tell you on the phone whether it's worth me coming out, or whether it's a main-dealer job.
02 /SERVICE
Brakes
Discs, pads, calipers, handbrake cables, drums and shoes. Done on the driveway or at work. Squealing, grinding, juddering pedal — all sorted in one visit.

NOT SURE WHAT'S WRONG?
Describe the symptom. A knock when you turn left, a juddering pedal, a warning light that won't clear, white smoke at start-up. I'll tell you what it most likely is and a fair price to fix it.
CALL TO TRIAGE →Work in progress
Real jobs, real driveways.
Every photo here is a placeholder for an actual booking. On a real Klaudius site, these come straight from the business's own Google profile.
How it works
No app. No booking funnel. Just call the mechanic.
Four steps from your warning light coming on to the bill being settled. Most of them happen on the phone before I ever turn up.
01
Ring or text
Describe what the car's doing. I'll tell you what's likely wrong and a rough cost. If it's a main-dealer job, I'll say so straight away. No charge for the call.
02
Book a slot
Most jobs land same-day or next-day. The parts price is locked in over the phone, so I won't roll up with a different number.
03
I come to you
Driveway, work car park, lay-by, supermarket — whatever's safest. The van carries enough common-fail parts that one trip usually does it.
04
Pay once it works
Card, cash or bank transfer once the car's back together and you've signed off. Manufacturer warranty on parts, twelve months on labour.

BMW + brakes
“Wife's BMW threw a brake warning at half nine on a Tuesday night. Marcus answered on the second ring, took the symptoms over the phone, came round at half eight the next morning with the right pads and discs already on board. Job done by lunch. Genuinely fairer pricing than the local dealer wanted.”
Tom Bradshaw

Second opinion
“Local Audi specialist quoted me £1,400 for what they called a full brake refurb. Rang Marcus on a recommendation, sent him the photos, he said the calipers were fine and only the discs and pads needed doing. Six-fifty all in, fitted on the work car park, drove home that evening. Won't be using the dealer again.”
Aisha Patel

DPF clear
“DPF light came on, a friend told me to expect a four-figure bill. Marcus ran a forced regen on the driveway, told me the filter still had life in it, charged me less than the cost of a new EGR sensor. Sat for an hour while it cycled, paid by card, light has stayed off.”
Greg Fenton

Pre-purchase
“Bought a used Volvo XC60 from a private seller and paid Marcus to give it a once-over before money changed hands. He spent forty minutes underneath the car, came back with a list of what we'd need to budget for over the next two years, didn't pretend it was something it wasn't. Saved us from buying a different one that wouldn't have inspected so kindly.”
Hannah Doyle

Repeat customer
“Marcus has done both of our cars more times than I can count. Brakes, services, the time the wife clipped a kerb and bent a wishbone. Reliable, friendly, sensible pricing, never tries to upsell. Worth ten of any high-street garage.”

Coventry first. Warwickshire second.
If you're inside the M6 ring or down towards Leamington, you're in. Outside that, ring and ask — the van will travel for the right job.
