Quite simply, you will not find another garage like this in Preston. Mechanic Jason Jeynes sold his house in 2018 to buy his boss’s business and lived on site until finding his financial feet. He worked seven days a week, hugely increased turnover and introduced novel features to enhance the garage’s already good reputation.
Seven years later, he has many hundreds of appreciative customers and has established himself as an unforgettable character. Plus, he’s given work experience to vulnerable youngsters through the Prince’s Trust.
“Enter as a customer, leave as a friend”
Is the motto on his front counter.
“I do like getting to know my customers, I’ve always got time for them,” he says.
Jason, 40 who had worked at the garage since 2009, prides himself on going above and beyond for his customers. If your car cannot be fixed, a recovery vehicle takes you to his workshop, based in Ashton.
The garage is a brake and clutch specialist approved by LUK Clutches, one of the world’s largest suppliers, and offers customers a courtesy car, with a free collection and drop-off service.
Jason takes pride in advanced diagnostics – “I don’t like being defeated, I will tackle anything.”
Ashton Autos has fixed price servicing and is a founder member of the Good Garage Scheme, with excellent client reviews on its website. Key innovations by Jason include an on-site MOT testing bay, which has proved hugely popular with both new and existing clients. Ashton Autos give a 14-day reminder for your MOT test.
Commercial clients include Pinnacle Loft Conversions, Redman & Bispham, Thompson Electrical and Hanover Dairies.
The garage is open 8.30am to 5.30pm Monday-Friday and is also open the occasional Saturday, but please check in with Jason before travelling to his well-equipped garage.
Other core services include servicing, diagnostics, brake repair and replacements, and mechanical repairs. Jason and the team look forward to welcoming you with a smile.
Banish worry about your bills
Jason offers interest free loans for all work over £60 for up to six months!
“Ashton Autos are a valuable workplace provider for The Prince’s Trust in Preston. Jason is always willing to take young people, many of whom face personal challenges and difficulties. He is understanding, supportive and provides valuable opportunities for young people to gain experience in the automotive industry.”
Anji Hesketh, Preston Central Prince’s Trust Team Leader
