Family-run independent garage in Birnam, Dunkeld backed by Bob's 32 years on the tools.
Who runs the garage
Bob's Mechanical Repairs is run by Bob, who has spent 32 years on the tools — time served in busy independent workshops before setting up here in Birnam. That experience is why the diagnosis usually comes before the parts list: three decades of seeing which faults genuinely fail and which get replaced needlessly.
It is a small, family-run operation. The person who books your car in is the person who sees it through the workshop, so nothing gets lost between a call centre and a technician.
How we work
Every job starts with a proper look and a quote. If we find something extra while the car is in the air, we ring you with the price and the options before doing anything. Nothing is fitted without a yes.
We use supplier-verified parts as standard and will happily explain the difference between a budget and a quality option on brakes, tyres or filters rather than quietly fitting the cheapest thing on the shelf.
What we work on
Petrol, diesel and hybrid cars, vans and light 4x4s of most makes — MOT testing, servicing, brakes, clutches, timing belts, suspension, exhausts, tyres, air conditioning, electrical faults and ECU remapping. Remaps are road-tested and written to suit how the vehicle is actually used.
