Celebrating 100 Years / 1926 — 2026
About Wests

The same family, since 1926.

Four generations, one name above the door, and a century of looking after Newmarket drivers. This is the story of Wests Garage.

Our Story

From hand-cranked Austins to modern diagnostics.

Wests Garage opened its doors in 1926, back when engines were hand-cranked and petrol came from a pump under the awning. The tools have changed almost beyond recognition since then. The values have not.

Across four generations, the same family has run this garage on the simple idea that people come back when you treat them fairly, explain things plainly, and do the job properly the first time. A hundred years on, that is still exactly how we work.

Today the workshop is fully equipped for MOTs, servicing, diagnostics and more, looking after everything from the school run hatchback to the village taxi, with the same care that has kept Newmarket coming back for a century.

Customer Reviews

What Newmarket drivers say about us.

Reviews left by customers on Google.

Forgot to book my wife’s car for it’s MOT which was due to run out in 2 days. West’s garage very kindly not only squeezed in the MOT on the day it ran out but did an oil and filter change thus avoiding my wife being grounded. Thankyou so much.

Adrian Tate

I’ve not long lived in Exning, and now taken my car to West’s twice. Once for a relatively small job and then again after being recovered by the AA for a bigger job. They’ve been really great to deal with, both understanding and helpful. The work was done efficiently and to a great standard.

Carrie Richardson

Great customer service. Even though I was delayed getting there to collect my car after its MOT, the manager waited for me even though I was 20 minutes late. Use their garage regularly and cannot fault the service they provide.

Steve Harbert

Serviced my car there for over 15 years, tried, tested and trusted.

Allan Dixon

Just had my car MOT’d, great friendly service, very reasonable costs, highly recommended.
