Who works on your car
Four mechanics. Fifty years between them. Two trained at a Land Rover main dealer.
That's the whole workshop — no rotating agency staff, no one learning on your car. Two of the four came out of main-dealer Land Rover backgrounds, which is why the estate's Defenders and Discoverys end up here, and why a fault on a modern diesel gets diagnosed rather than guessed at. The same four people do your MOT, your service and the awkward repair nobody else fancied.
“As a 70,000 mile per year airport transfer driver I see the team at this garage a lot! I have used them for about 10 years and highly recommend them as being honest, helpful and straightforward.”
Independent · Haslemere town centre
A local garage you can ring and get a straight answer from.
First 4 Carz is an independent garage on the Weydown Road Industrial Estate, a couple of minutes from Haslemere town centre. We're not a brand name franchised around the country — the company has been trading as a limited company here since 2016, and it's still run day to day by its two directors, Roger and Peter.
Four mechanics work here, with more than fifty years of experience between them, and two of them came from main-dealer backgrounds as trained Land Rover specialists. Between one MOT testing bay and three service ramps we cover everything from a Class 4 MOT and a routine service to diagnostics and awkward repairs — on every make and model that comes through the door.
What we do
MOT, service, diagnostics, repair — all in one building.
01
MOT Testing
Class 4 MOT testing in our own bay, with any work needed handled here rather than sent elsewhere.
02
Car & Van Servicing
Interim and full servicing on three ramps, using quality parts and oil, for cars and light vans alike.
03
General Repairs
Brakes, clutches, suspension, exhausts, cambelts — all makes and models, quoted up front.
04
Diagnostics
Warning light on the dash? Our trained staff read the fault properly instead of guessing at parts.
05
4x4 & Land Rover Specialists
Two of our technicians are Land Rover trained from main-dealer backgrounds — dealer knowledge, independent prices.
06
Collection, Delivery & Courtesy Cars
Collection and delivery, a courtesy car, a proper waiting room and free Wi-Fi — pick whichever suits you.
Why people stay with us
The reasons Haslemere drivers keep the number.
Independent, not a franchise
No brand-name badge on the door and no head office setting the labour rate — the two directors are here every day.
A price before the spanner
You get a quote up front, and a phone call with a price if we find something else once the car is up.
Dealer-trained on Land Rover
Two of the four mechanics came from main-dealer Land Rover backgrounds, so the 4x4s get specialist eyes.
MOT and repair under one roof
Failed on something? It gets fixed and retested here rather than being shuttled to another garage.
Courtesy car or collection
Borrow a car for the day, or let us collect yours and bring it back when it is done.
Somewhere decent to wait
A waiting room with free Wi-Fi, if you would rather stay and get on with work while the car is on the ramp.
Straight answers
Two things worth knowing before you book.
In their words
“They are always so helpful and you feel you are getting good old fashioned honest service.”

“As a 70,000 mile per year airport transfer driver I see the team at this garage a lot! I have used them for about 10 years and highly recommend them as being honest, helpful and straightforward.”
“My car failed the MOT and I was worried I would not receive the car back... the team kept me up to date with what was happening... First4Carz always go above and beyond for their customers.”
“Professional, informative, fair. I've had many MOT tests done here, occasional servicing and urgent repairs with various different cars over the years, too. Always friendly and flexible.”
How it works
From the phone call to the keys back.
01
Ring us or email
Call 01428 654470 and you'll speak to someone in the workshop, not a call centre. Tell us the registration and what the car's doing and we'll find you a slot — same day where we can.
02
A price before the work
We look the car over and quote you before anything starts, in plain English. If we find something else on the ramp, you get a phone call and a price — you decide, not us.
03
Wait, borrow or let us collect
Sit in the waiting room with the free Wi-Fi, take the courtesy car, or ask us to collect the car and drop it back. Whichever suits your day.
Where we are
Weydown Road, two minutes from Haslemere High Street.
We're a Haslemere garage and we keep it that way — Unit 7 on the Weydown Road Industrial Estate, easy to reach from the town centre and the station. If you can't get the car to us, ask about collection and delivery.
