Southern Enterprise Awards 2025

SME News Q4 2025/ 26 Best Brake & Clutch Specialist 2025 – Chippenham & Best Garage Services Company 2025 For those within the SN15 postcode district and the surrounding areas, Idover Garage is the local, full-service garage for every vehicular need. Anchored by more than 35 years of first-hand experience in the business, Kevin Connor and his team have carved out a name for themselves as experts across car repair, servicing, MOTs, diagnostics, and more. On the back of it winning a duo of awards, we sat down with Kevin, who is both the founder and director here, for more on Idover Garage. Comprising experts in bespoke repairs and vehicle care, Idover Garage is a family-run business that first opened its doors back in 2012. Providing servicing and repairs for all makes and models of vehicle, the balance of expertise and competitive pricing that is at the heart of this operation has led to the business securing a well-deserved reputation for reliability and great customer service. Supporting the output of these trained technicians is a modern, fully-equipped workshop located just outside of Chippenham. From this location in the humble village of Dauntsey, Idover Garage is able to offer everything from comprehensive vehicle repairs and services through to MOTs and welding, as well as fitting new tyres, exhausts, and batteries. All of these services are provided to vehicle owners within a 20-mile radius of the workshop – this due to the free pick-up and drop-off included in the price of every car service – making sure local communities across this corner of Wiltshire can feel safer out on the roads. Exploring this further, Kevin explained: “We ensure vehicle health checks are completed thoroughly, regardless of the repair, to make certain that our customers are aware of any developing faults or issues. We are passionate about keeping costs low across these services and use multiple suppliers to achieve a competitive price in the market. Customers appreciate the service we deliver and this has continued during our time trading.” The quality of service delivered by Idover Garage has always been high, but since it joined the RAC network of authorised repairers a few years ago, the scope of its services has only increased, extending to warranty work and diagnostics for the wider community. It was around the same time that the company’s prowess in its speciality areas – brakes and clutches – really began to shine through. Corroborating this is the fact Idover Garage is an approved Ferodo-brand brake specialist and Valeo-brand clutch specialist alike. Similarly, the team are experts in Ford and Renault vehicles particularly, but the experience they share spans diagnostics, MOTs, and servicing for almost every type of vehicle imaginable. This goes well beyond the standard cars that are commonplace on the road today, as motorbikes, commercial vehicles, agricultural vehicles, and classic cars are all handled by the team, not to mention being subject to the free, noobligation quote that a member of staff will provide, either over the phone or via text message. “We are a close team and communication is key. Support is always at hand and a system of shared values keeps us ahead of the game.” When it comes to diagnostics specifically, setting Idover Garage apart is the state-of-theart testing it has carried out from this location for more than 13 years, always using only the best, most accurate equipment and software to spot any issues or flaws immediately. A big part of its ability to do so effectively, particularly for Ford vehicles, comes from the partnership it has with Ford’s Blue Oval Club, an exclusive group created by Ford to provide independent garages like this with dedicated communications and technical support. Such provisions are becoming more important than ever, given that people are today likelier than they have been in previous decades to keep their older vehicles for longer, thanks to the price of new vehicles skyrocketing in recent years and becoming unaffordable for many. In some respects, this is good for the team here as older cars tend to need more doing them to remain roadworthy. Sourcing parts can, however, be a challenge, but is something Idover Garage can largely keep on top of thanks to the demand. Ultimately then, as this family business continues to go from strength to strength across the range of services it provides, all whilst keeping its family values and commitment to affordability intact, we are delighted to name it both the Best Brake & Clutch Specialist 2025 – Chippenham & Best Garage Services Company 2025.
