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

NEED HELP?

Want to check if the car you have already chosen is a good investment? Make an appointment to chat with friendly experts without the hard sell?

Are You looking for a new car?

Our cars are fully-registered with all requirements completed. We’ll also deliver your car.

How do I Get a Quote for a Service or Repairs?

If you need a quote for a service, a repair or any other job just call us on 01473 78-55-44 or fill in the online enquiry with all the details here.

How to schedule a service online?

Simply fill in the online Service, Repairs or MOT form here.

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

We have had all our cars serviced at Ashbocking Autos and have always had good advice, along with reliable and friendly service. We even bought our last used car there at a great price, 1 year warranty and fully serviced with MOT. Best summer run-around we ever had. Great garage, great team! Very happy with their work.

Called up to get a tire fixed. The said they'll have it in by the next day and to get it done and fixed there and then. Took less than an hour. Price was decent for both the tire and service. While they were looking at the car they also noted an advisory to get looked at which my usual garage missed. Would recommend
