A MODERN INDEPENDENT GARAGE FOR TAUNTON
One place for the everyday jobs — and the complicated ones.
Strive Motors combines a physical Taunton workshop with a substantial mobile repair operation. That means you are not forced into one way of doing things: jobs that benefit from workshop equipment can come to HQ, while suitable servicing, diagnostics and repairs can be carried out at the vehicle.
Whether you drive a small petrol hatchback, diesel estate, family SUV, performance car or van, the starting point is the same: understand the vehicle, agree the work clearly, and carry it out properly.

ONE WORKSHOP. ALL MAKES AND MODELS.
Your badge does not decide whether we can help.

THE FLEXIBILITY MOST GARAGES CANNOT OFFER
Come to us — or we'll come to you.
Some jobs belong on a lift. Others do not need you to lose half a day getting the car to a garage. We use both workshop and mobile capability.
DIAGNOSTICS THAT GO FURTHER THAN READING A CODE
A fault code is a clue. It is not automatically the failed part.
Good fault finding combines the vehicle's reported symptoms with diagnostic information, testing, live data, mechanical inspection and electrical checks where appropriate. The aim is to work toward the cause before recommending expensive components.

TAUNTON GARAGE FAQs
Useful answers before you book.
Still unsure? Call 0330 229 6099 and tell us what the vehicle is doing.
Do you work on all makes and models?
Yes. Strive Motors works across a broad range of makes and models rather than focusing only on one manufacturer. If the work is unusually specialist, send the registration and details first so we can confirm the right route.
Do you offer mobile mechanics in Taunton?
Yes. Suitable servicing, diagnostics and repairs can be carried out at homes, workplaces and other practical locations around Taunton. Use the Locations postcode checker to confirm live mobile coverage.
Can I bring my vehicle to your workshop?
Yes. Taunton HQ is a physical workshop at Unit 4, Nightingales Farm, TA3 5RH. Workshop visits are appointment-based so the correct time, space and technician can be planned.
Do you carry out vehicle diagnostics?
Yes. Diagnostics is a core service. We use fault information alongside symptoms, testing, live data and mechanical or electrical checks where appropriate rather than treating a stored fault code as an automatic parts order.
Can you supply and fit parts?
Yes. For quoted repairs we can supply and fit suitable parts as part of the job. Send the vehicle registration so the correct application can be checked before ordering.
Can you service a vehicle that is still under manufacturer warranty?
In many cases, servicing can be carried out to the manufacturer's schedule using suitable parts and fluids with the work documented correctly. If warranty conditions matter for your vehicle, tell us when booking so the requirements can be checked before work is agreed.
Do you carry out MOTs?
Taunton HQ is not advertised as an MOT testing station. We can help with pre-MOT inspection work and repair MOT failures or advisories; if you need the MOT test itself, ask the team about the appropriate route.
Do you work on vans?
Yes, we work on many vans and light commercial vehicles as well as cars. Access, height, weight and the type of repair can affect whether the job is best handled mobile or at the workshop.
How do I get a quote?
Send your registration, the work required or symptoms, and your preferred workshop/mobile location through our enquiry page. For urgent issues, call the team directly.
Which areas around Taunton do you cover?
Mobile coverage extends beyond Taunton into surrounding Somerset and nearby service areas. Because coverage is managed centrally and can vary by postcode, use the Locations checker in the site header for the most useful answer.
