When it comes to servicing your vehicle, you have plenty of options — but not all workshops are created equal. At FJ Manning, we believe there’s something special about a family-owned business, and our customers agree. Here’s why choosing a local, family-run workshop can make all the difference:
Personal Service That Puts You First
Family businesses treat customers like people, not just job numbers. You’re more than a booking — you’re part of the community. Expect honest advice, genuine care, and mechanics who remember your name (and your car’s quirks).

Pride in Every Job
Family-run workshops take pride in their reputation, often built over generations — like ours since 1968. That pride means better attention to detail, reliable workmanship, and no cutting corners.

Trust That’s Built, Not Bought
We rely on word of mouth, not flashy ads. That means we work hard to earn and keep your trust. Our team is here for the long haul, with mechanics who are part of the same family or have been with us for years — not just passing through.

Local Loyalty
Supporting a family workshop means supporting your local community. We hire locally, buy locally, and give back locally. It’s a win-win — your car gets expert care, and your dollars stay close to home.
Real People, Real Conversations
No confusing upsells, no scripted sales talk — just honest conversations with mechanics who want what’s best for you and your car. Need to ask a question? Pop in and speak to us directly — no call centres here.

At FJ Manning, being family-owned isn’t just a tagline — it’s how we operate every day. Come experience the difference. 🧡
