Independent. Oxford-Trained. Trusted for 25+ Years.
From a single-bay workshop on Osney Mead to Oxfordshire's go-to independent garage — built on the same principle since day one: dealer-grade work, honest pricing.
Crestline Auto Care — Osney Mead, Oxford
From One Bay to Oxfordshire’s Trusted Independent
Crestline Auto Care opened its doors on Osney Mead in 1998 with a single vehicle lift and a straightforward promise: dealership-standard work, without dealership pricing or dealership waiting rooms. Nearly three decades on, that promise hasn’t changed — only the tooling has.
Today the workshop runs six dedicated service bays, a fully automated MOT testing lane, and diagnostic equipment that most franchised dealers would recognise. What hasn’t changed is who’s doing the work: the same commitment to explaining faults in plain English, showing our workings, and never recommending a repair a car doesn’t need.
Modern Tooling Meets Old-School British Craftsmanship
We believe automotive maintenance should be open and transparent — every bay, every tool, and every diagnosis is something you’re welcome to see for yourself.
6 Hydraulic Service Bays
Fully equipped bays including a dedicated automated MOT testing lane — no vehicle waits on work another car is finishing.
Snap-On & Hofmann Diagnostic Towers
Dealer-level Snap-On diagnostic suites and Hofmann 3D laser wheel alignment, the same tooling standard used at franchised dealerships.
Sealed Clean-Room Rebuild Space
A dedicated, contamination-controlled bay for engine and transmission rebuild work requiring precision assembly conditions.
OEM Diagnostic Software Licensing
Annual dealership-grade software licenses for BMW, Audi/VW Group, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, Jaguar, and Ford — catching faults generic code readers miss.
Photographic Digital Health Checks
Every vehicle receives a complimentary digital health assessment, with high-resolution photographic evidence sent directly to your phone before any work begins.
Transparent Fixed-Price Quoting
You approve every job by photo and fixed price before we touch the car — no verbal estimates, no surprise call-backs mid-repair.
