Lindsay Flaxmer Ltd, is a well-established garage with over 90 years of
combined experience within the motor trade. We have gained an excellent
reputation locally for our work and benefit from a very high percentage of
repeat customers, Lindsay Flaxmer ltd was founded back in 2003 by
Lindsay & Julia Flaxmer, and at that time we traded as Lasts Auto Repairs
ltd and we were based at Scole near Diss.
In 2008 we moved into our current premises at Mid Suffolk Business Park Eye
and in 2010 we changed our trading name to “LINDSAY FLAXMER LTD” so
that customers could “put a face to the name” and the company is still very
much steered today by Lindsay himself who has got a wealth of
experience within the motor trade, Lindsay Started his paid career back in
April 1977 as a fresh faced apprentice mechanic at Watson & Smith Ltd a
Vauxhall Bedford Garage on Victoria Road Diss, but in fact Lindsay’s love of
getting his hands dirty & tinkering with cars began way back when he was around 11 years old, when he used to spend most of his free time learning and working on a local Guy’s stock cars, he also learned to drive at this time and worked on a local farm on school holidays, so this put him in good stead for when his adult working life began.
After completing his apprenticeship and working a total of 7 years at Watson & Smith’s he moved on to two other local independent Garages, before forming his own company now based in Eye, this is where Lindsay, Julia, Ben and our loyal team of technicians have set up a modern extremely well-equipped garage that what we think is second to none including some main dealer’s workshops! Lindsay is in fact obsessed with technology, that’s why we are always looking for new ways and tools to keep us in touch with the ever-increasing speed that the modern car now evolves, we also have set up our own training room that we operate with our main parts supplier All make Motor Parts and Autocare. These training courses are offered to other garages not just ourselves in the hope that we can keep all our local independents in business, and fore them & us to be able to offer the motorist a truly value for money service, I can tell you that most, if not all of the car manufactures are now trying their hardest to get you to take your car back to them for every single repair so we have to stay ahead of the game it’s a constant battle.
Did you know?… If you buy a new car you can take it to any garage or autocentre for servicing & maintenance and the warranty will not be affected. That’s the law! You have the right to choose, checkout www.right2choose.org.uk.
What is Right2Choose?…Right2Choose is all about informing motorists that they can take their vehicle, irrespective of age, anywhere for servicing without invalidating the vehicle manufacturer’s warranty. Motorists have a choice and can legally take their vehicle to be repaired or serviced at any independent garage, franchised dealer or autocentre, providing parts and fluids of Original Equipment (OE) quality have been used in accordance with manufacturer’s service schedules, you will NOT invalidate the warranty.
Everyday motorists place one of their most essential possessions – the modern motor vehicle – in the hands of independent garages by taking their vehicle to a workshop close to home or workplace.
It’s also worth noting that our technicians are not on any bonus schemes, so they don’t need to “upsell” work or parts to your vehicle, and unlike some (you know who you are) we don’t offer free inspections in the hope to get us more work, but we will always offer free advice and a second opinion if you require it, just ask.
