Not all garages are the same. Here’s what makes us refreshingly different

We only fix what needs to be fixed

As an independent garage, we’re not driven by targets or figures like the larger dealerships, so we’ll only fix what needs to be fixed. Because at Akers Garage, you, the customer are the most important part of our business, we believe you deserve a totally honest and transparent service. We never take our customers for granted and will always strive to offer the best service and value for money. That means an honest appraisal of what actually needs to be done. Our team of highly qualified and experienced mechanics have the latest diagnostic equipment and facilities to ensure we can identify and fix problems quickly. And although we are a Volkswagen Audi Group specialist, we also fix and service a range of makes including Seat, Skoda, Fiat and Land Rovers too.

Call 01387 711663 or email service@akersgarage.co.uk now for further information or to book your car in for repairs or servicing. 

We offer a pick up and drop off service in the Dumfries area. Ask us for details!

Our excellent reputation is really important to us

Let's be honest, not all garages have a good reputation with many often accused of overcharging or doing work that doesn't really need to be done. The last thing any motorist wants, especially when family budgets are constantly under pressure, is a huge bill especially for work that wasn't really necessary. At Akers Garage, we've always been on the side of motorists offering an honest, transparent service to all our customers. We will inform you of whatever repairs your car actually needs and we always give an honest quote. We never carry out work that doesn't need to be done. That's our pledge to you.
