Local Mechanics. National Standards.
ReadingMarc started as a small two-bay workshop on Elgar Road in 2012. Today, we are one of Reading's most trusted garages for MOT testing, car repairs, tyres and recovery. We stayed independent on purpose, so we can put our customers first, not sales targets.
Built on word-of-mouth, powered by skill.
From a small workshop to a full-service garage, our growth came from word of mouth. Local drivers trusted us with their cars, and they told their friends and family. Today, our team handles everything from a quick MOT to full engine diagnostics, all from the same workshop and the same trusted faces. Every job at ReadingMarc comes with a written quote, a photo report when needed, and a 12-month workmanship guarantee. We have served over 8,000 cars and hold a 4.9-star Google rating.
Our Core Values
