About us

WELCOME TO ASHBOCKING
AUTO CENTRE SUFFOLK
Ashbocking Auto Centre deals in used cars sales in Ipswich Suffolk. It also services, repairs and provides an MOT service.
Our aim is to provide you with a way to see our sales vehicles, get a quote on part-exchanges, apply for finance or schedule a repair or service appointment. The search for a car is filled with high expectations. Undoubtedly, that has a lot to do with the vehicles you are considering, but at Ashbocking Auto Centre, we think you should also have pretty high expectations of your chosen garage.
Ashbocking Auto Centre opened for business in May 2013. We converted the premises to include a Car Sales Office and modern 3-bay Repairs & Servicing Workshop all complete with the latest computer diagnostic technology.
Over the years we have built a solid relationship within the local community as an honest team of guys who always go the extra mile for their customers, whether they are looking to purchase their next quality used car or require MOTs, servicing or maintenance of their existing vehicles.
— BEN JAY, Director of Ashbocking Auto Centre, Ipswich Suffolk

How do I find out what Oil my Car takes?
Simply pop into the garage and we will tell you what oil is recommended for your vehicle. If you need a top-up we can do this for you too.
Can you fit a Bulb for me?
We stock most standard vehicle bulbs for headlight, sidelight, indicator and brake bulbs and we are able to fit most if you simply pop-in and we will do it quickly for you. If the bulb requires removal of body-work then we will let you know how long it will take.
Can you remind me when my MOT is due?
This easiest way to get an MOT reminder so you don’t forget is to use the Government’s free reminder service.
Sign up to get free reminders by text message or email when your MOT is due.
When you sign up you’ll get a reminder:
one month before your car, van or motorcycle MOT is due
2 months before your lorry, bus or large trailer MOT is due
It’s definitely worth it because you can be fined up to £1,000 for driving a vehicle without a valid MOT.
You cannot use this service if you live in Northern Ireland – you’ll get a reminder by post 7 weeks before your MOT is due.
Before you start you need:
the vehicle’s number plate (registration number)
a mobile phone number or email address

They say lightening doesn’t strike twice; whilst staying locally to visit relatives, on two separate occasions the car let us down. A 3 hour recovery trip with car and caravan loomed large.Both times Ben and Stefan pulled out all the stops to get us back on the road to enjoy our trip and then get us back home.
