Welcome to MECA Services South-West, Exeter's only lady owned garage!
MECA Services South-West was established in April 1998 as an independent family-run garage business. The proprietor, Jennifer Riach, was born and brought up in Devon and having taken over MECA Services in 2007 and she is extremely proud to be part of the local community and economy. Customers often ask Jennifer and her team what "MECA" stands for - it is "Mechanical Engineering, Care Assured" and that is exactly what MECA Services offers!
When you choose an independent garage from the +13,000 that there are you need to be sure you are in safe hands. That’s why only the best independent garages are asked to join the Good Garage Scheme - a quality assurance membership scheme designed as a point of contact for customers to locate reliable trustworthy garages. As a member of the Good Garage Scheme, MECA Services’ customers are assured of professional repairs and servicing whilst also being able to check the garage’s feedback with the scheme. We follow a strict Code of Conduct under the scheme and Jennifer welcomes such feedback received from her many happy customers.
MECA Services offers the solution to all your mechanical problems from MOTs, servicing, brake repairs and air conditioning, to more complex problems, on all make of cars and light commercial vehicles. Jennifer also guarantees all work carried out, where prices will also be cheaper than most main dealerships and extremely competitive to other similar local garage businesses. Customers are encouraged to call MECA Services and ask for a quote.
Independent garages in the UK carry out approximately 50% of all vehicle service and repair work and that share is growing with more and more consumers enjoying the benefits of high quality workmanship, excellent customer service and not to mention some tremendous cost savings!
'Block Exemption Regulations' now give you a lot more freedom in deciding who should look after your car. Most new car buyers are unaware that they are no longer required to get their servicing and repairs carried out at the main dealership to keep the warranty up-to-date, so Jennifer’s customers are pleasantly surprised to discover that they can take their new car to MECA Services instead at a far cheaper cost without invalidating the manufacturer's warranty.
“We’ve sorted the problem, sir. That’ll be double what you might have paid at an independent car repairer…”
In 2010 however, that right could be removed. If you don’t want to see the competitive service and repair environment disappear, please register your support by signing the international online petition by following this link: The Right to Repair Campaign
