Westfield Garage Int Limited

The garage that tells you
what it actually needs.

Most people have had the other experience: a vague phone call, a bill that grew, and a list of work they never agreed to. We do it the other way round.

The car goes on the ramp, it gets looked at properly, and you get a call that tells you three things — what's wrong, what it costs, and what can safely wait until next time. Nothing gets touched until you say yes.

What we do

Eleven things, done properly.

The eight off the sign, plus the three we've added since — and there's nothing on the list we send out to somebody else.

An oil change being carried out during a car service
01

Services

Interim or full, to the manufacturer's schedule, with the stamp in the book. Oil, filters, plugs, fluids and a proper look over everything else while it's up there.

Book a service
A diagnostic scanner plugged into a car's OBD port
02

Diagnostics

A warning light is a symptom, not an answer. We read the codes, then test the thing the code points at — so you replace the part that's actually failed.

Find the fault
A brake disc and caliper with the wheel removed
03

Brakes

Pads, discs, calipers, lines and fluid. If there's life left in them we'll tell you how long, rather than selling you a set you don't need yet.

Get them checked
A clutch friction plate and flywheel
04

Clutches

Slipping, dragging, or a pedal that's gone soft. Full clutch kits, dual-mass flywheels and slave cylinders — a big job done once, done right.

Talk it through

05

Exhausts

Blowing, rattling, or hanging off. Back boxes, centre sections, manifolds, flexis and cat replacements — welded or replaced, whichever is honestly better value.

Stop the noise
A coil spring and shock absorber suspension assembly
06

Suspensions

Knocks over bumps, a corner that sits low, uneven tyre wear. Shocks, springs, bushes, drop links, wishbones and top mounts.

Sort the knock
A car gearbox and transmission internals
07

Gearbox

Crunching into gear, whining, or jumping out of it. Manual and automatic — oil services, repairs and replacements, diagnosed before anything comes apart.

Get it looked at
An engine timing belt and pulleys
08

Timing & Wet Belts

The one job that's cheaper than the alternative. Belt, tensioner and water pump together, on schedule — before it takes the engine with it. Wet belts too — the belt-in-oil kind on a lot of small turbo petrols.

09

Hybrid & Battery

Hybrids looked after like any other car, and batteries tested properly rather than guessed at — a car that keeps going flat usually has a charging fault, not a tired battery. Tell us what you drive and we'll tell you straight whether it's one for us.

Ask about your car

10

DPF & EGR

A blocked filter or a sticking valve is what puts a diesel into limp mode and the light on the dash. We check both, clean them and get them flowing again. We don't delete them — that fails the MOT and it's an offence to sell.

Clear the light

Remapping

Economy or performance, written to the engine you've actually got rather than off a shelf. Everything stays road-legal and every emissions part stays where the factory put it — tell your insurer, and keep the original file.

In more detail

Each job, explained.

What it involves, what to look out for, and what we do about it. If you're not sure which one you need, that's what the diagnostics are for.

01Services

An interim service is the oil, the oil filter and a check over the things that wear. A full service adds the air filter, the fuel filter, the plugs where the engine has them, and the fluids — to the schedule the manufacturer set for your car, not a generic one. The book gets stamped.

Signs it's this

  • The service light is on, or the mileage says so
  • It's been a year, whatever the mileage
  • You've just bought it and don't know when it was last done

What we do

  • The right grade of oil for the engine and parts that meet the maker's spec
  • A look round the brakes, tyres, suspension and underneath while it's on the ramp
  • A call before anything extra is done, with the price
02Diagnostics

A warning light tells you something is wrong. It doesn't tell you what. The fault code narrows it down; the rest is testing — the sensor, the wiring, the part the code is pointing at — so you replace what has actually failed and nothing else.

Signs it's this

  • Engine, ABS, airbag or emissions light on the dash
  • Limp mode, rough running, poor starting, a misfire
  • A part has been changed already and the light came back

What we do

  • Read the codes and the live data, not just the codes
  • Test before we replace — a code names a circuit, not always a part
  • Tell you what it is, what it costs, and whether it can wait
03Brakes

Pads, discs, calipers, hoses, lines and fluid. Brakes wear at their own rate, so we measure what's left and tell you how long it has in it, rather than fitting a set you don't need yet.

Signs it's this

  • Grinding, squealing or a scraping noise
  • A pulsing pedal or a shudder through the wheel when you brake
  • Pulling to one side, a soft pedal, or the brake warning light

What we do

  • Measure the pads and discs and tell you the numbers
  • Calipers freed off or replaced, hoses and lines where they've had it
  • Brake fluid changed on schedule — it takes on water and the pedal goes soft
04Clutches

A clutch is a big job because the gearbox has to come out to reach it — so it's a job worth doing once, with the right parts, and not something to rush. Full kits, dual-mass flywheels, concentric slave cylinders and cables.

Signs it's this

  • The revs rise but the car doesn't pick up — it's slipping
  • A pedal that's gone soft, stiff, or sits at a different height
  • Juddering as you pull away, or trouble getting into gear

What we do

  • Diagnose it first — a hydraulic fault can feel like a worn clutch and costs a fraction
  • Check the flywheel while the box is out, because it only comes out once
  • A price agreed before we start
05Exhausts

Back boxes, centre sections, downpipes, manifolds, flexi joints and catalytic converters. Some can be welded, some are better replaced — we'll tell you which is honestly the better value on your car.

Signs it's this

  • It's suddenly louder, or it's blowing
  • A rattle underneath, especially on start-up or over bumps
  • Exhaust smell in the cabin, or an emissions fail at the MOT

What we do

  • Find the leak or the broken hanger rather than assuming the whole system
  • Weld or replace, whichever lasts and costs less over the next few years
  • Cats and sensors only where they're genuinely the fault
06Suspensions

Shock absorbers, springs, bushes, drop links, wishbones, ball joints and top mounts. Worn suspension doesn't just knock — it wears your tyres, upsets the steering and lengthens your braking distance.

Signs it's this

  • Knocking or clonking over bumps
  • One corner sitting lower, or the car bouncing after a bump
  • Uneven tyre wear, wandering steering, or an MOT advisory

What we do

  • Put it on the ramp and find the actual worn part — not the whole corner
  • Springs and shocks in pairs where they should be, so the car sits and handles evenly
  • Tell you what's urgent and what's only an advisory
07Gearbox

Manual and automatic. Gearbox oil services, linkage and mount repairs, and rebuilds or replacements when it has genuinely gone — diagnosed properly first, because a lot of “gearbox” faults turn out to be a clutch, a mount or a linkage.

Signs it's this

  • Crunching or grinding into gear
  • Whining that changes with road speed, or jumping out of gear
  • An automatic that's slow to engage, slips, or shifts harshly

What we do

  • Check the simple things first — oil level, linkage, mounts, clutch
  • Automatic oil and filter services to the manufacturer's interval
  • Repair or replace, with the options and the prices laid out before you decide
08Timing & Wet Belts

The timing belt keeps the top and the bottom of the engine in step. When it goes, the two meet, and it's usually a new engine. It's replaced on a schedule — by miles or by years, whichever comes first — and the interval varies a lot between engines. A wet belt is the same belt running inside the engine in oil, fitted to a lot of small turbo petrols; it wears differently, often needs doing sooner than the handbook first said, and the oil it runs in matters as much as the belt.

Signs it's this

  • You're at or past the mileage or the age in the schedule
  • There's no record of it ever being done
  • A ticking or rubbing noise from the belt end of the engine
  • A small turbo petrol with an oil-pressure warning, a flickering oil light, or no record of the wet belt

What we do

  • Tell you the interval for your engine — just tell us what it is
  • Belt, tensioner, idlers and water pump together, because they share the labour
  • Wet belts on belt-in-oil engines, with the oil and filter changed at the same time and the right spec of oil going back in
  • Chain-driven engines checked for stretch and rattle instead
09Hybrid & Battery

Hybrids still have an engine, brakes, suspension and a service schedule, and they need looking after like any other car. Batteries — the ordinary 12-volt one — get tested rather than guessed at: a car that keeps going flat is more often a charging or a drain fault than a tired battery.

Signs it's this

  • Slow cranking, or it's flat again after a jump start
  • Battery or charging light on the dash
  • A hybrid due a service, or with a warning on the display

What we do

  • Test the battery, the alternator and the drain, and tell you which it is
  • Servicing and general repairs on hybrid models
  • Tell you straight if your car is one for a specialist instead
10DPF & EGR

The diesel particulate filter catches soot and burns it off on a long run; short trips never let it. The EGR valve carbons up and sticks. Either one puts the light on and the car into limp mode. We check them, clean them and get them flowing. We don't remove them — it fails the MOT and it's an offence to advertise.

Signs it's this

  • DPF or engine light, limp mode, no power
  • Poor economy, rough idle, black smoke
  • A car that mostly does short runs

What we do

  • Read the soot load and the pressure figures before touching anything
  • A forced regeneration or a proper clean, whichever the numbers call for
  • Find why it blocked — a sensor, a thermostat, a leak — so it doesn't just come back
11Remapping

A remap rewrites the engine's software for economy or for performance, written to your engine rather than a file off a shelf. It stays road-legal: every emissions part stays exactly where the factory put it, and we keep your original file so it can go back to standard.

Signs it's this

  • You want better economy on a diesel that does the miles
  • You want more from the engine you've got
  • You're not sure it's a good idea for your car — ask, and we'll say

What we do

  • Check the engine is healthy first — a map won't fix a fault, it'll find it
  • Back up the original file before anything is written
  • Tell you to tell your insurer, because you need to
On the house

Checks that cost you nothing.

Three of these are free every time, no strings and nothing to sign. The fourth is the proper going-over before your test, so nothing on the certificate comes as a surprise.

Free

MOT check

We go over the things a tester goes over and tell you where the car actually stands — before you pay anybody for a test.

Pre-test

Pre-MOT check

The full inspection before the test itself. Anything that would fail gets found here, where you can decide what to do about it in your own time.

Free

Oil check

Level and condition, both. Oil that has gone thin or black is telling you something, and it is a lot cheaper to hear it now than later.

Free

Tyre pressure check

All four set to what the plate in the door actually says. Soft tyres wear out early, drink fuel and are an MOT advisory waiting to happen.

01

You tell us the symptom

Ring, WhatsApp or fill the form in. You don't need to know what's wrong — "there's a knock over bumps" or "the light's come on" is plenty to work from.

It goes up on the ramp

We look at the whole car, not just the bit you mentioned. If a code needs reading, we read it — then we test the component it points at rather than guessing.

You get the price first

One phone call: what's wrong, what it costs, and what can safely wait. Nothing gets touched until you've said yes to it. No surprises on the invoice.

Reviews

What people say afterwards.

5.0
from 45 Google reviews

Forty-five reviews on Google and not one of them under five stars. The quickest way to judge a garage is still to read what people said once the bill had already been paid.

Booked in for a seized calliper and coil spring change, Islam was really helpful and did a good job on the works needed at a good fair price, would recommend !

AJArran J.Suspension & brakes

First time using Westfield and was hugely impressed. Sorted out an issue with my abs and got me through my Mot. Highly recommend. Really honest and good service

RAracheleMOT & ABS

Excellent service and prices as always. Called with a last minute job for a clutch and he fit me in the same day and was completed in less than 24hours. Definitely one of the best around the Stockport area.

Before you ring

The usual questions.

Will you tell me the price before you start?

Yes — that's the whole point. The car gets looked at, then you get a call with what's wrong and what it costs. Nothing gets done until you agree to it, and if something else turns up mid-job you get another call, not a bigger bill.

Do you work on my make of car?

All makes and models. If a job genuinely needs a main-dealer tool we'll say so rather than have a go at it.

The engine light is on. Is it safe to drive in?

A steady light usually means drive it gently and get it looked at soon. A flashing light means stop and ring us — carrying on can turn a cheap fix into an expensive one. Either way, ring and describe it.

How do I know when the timing belt is due?

It's on mileage or age, whichever comes first, and it varies a lot between engines. Tell us the car and we'll tell you the interval — it's the one job that's always cheaper than what happens if it lets go. Wet belts — the belt that runs in oil on a lot of small turbo petrols — are the same job with a shorter life than the book first promised, and the right oil matters as much as the belt. If you've got one and no record of it being done, ring us.

Can you check the car over before its MOT?

That is exactly what the free MOT check and the pre-MOT check are for. We go over the things a tester goes over and tell you what would fail, so you can decide what to do about it before you are paying for a re-test rather than after.

Can you delete my DPF?

No — and no garage that wants to stay on the right side of the law will. A car on the road has to have the filter it left the factory with: removing it is an automatic MOT failure and it is an offence to advertise the work. What we can do is check it, clean it and get it flowing again, which is what actually fixes most blocked-filter faults. Same with the EGR valve.

Is a remap going to cause me trouble?

Not if it is done properly and you are straight about it. We keep the car road-legal and leave every emissions part exactly where it is, and we keep your original file so it can go back to standard whenever you want. You do need to tell your insurer — a map you did not declare is the sort of thing they will use to argue about a claim.

Can I wait while it's done?

For smaller jobs, usually. For anything that needs parts ordering in or a few hours on the ramp it's better to leave it with us. Say when you book and we'll tell you honestly which it is.

Do you keep the old parts?

If you'd like to see what came off, just ask when you drop the car in and we'll put them aside for you.

Something not right with the car?

Ring it through, or send a message and we'll come back to you with a price.
