Took my car in for a service. Honest, friendly folk and beat the main dealer price for a service by a big margin. They offer curtesy car as well as pick up/delivery. Couldn’t ask for more. Will definitely use again!
New Duston Garage has made significant investments in cutting-edge diagnostic equipment and training to stay abreast of the constantly evolving technology in modern vehicles.
We mainly use dealer diagnostic platforms and equipment, backed up with a number of generic tools including Autel and Autologic. This allows us not only to interface with manufacturers for software downloads but also to program new components effectively.
With access to dealer equipment and comprehensive information, we stand on par with main dealers. This grants us the ability to retrieve detailed information such as wiring diagrams, repair manuals, manufacturer technical bulletins, security data, and digital service histories, among other critical data.
Can you diagnose all brands?
We have an extensive range of diagnostic systems, ensuring comprehensive coverage across all major makes. This includes dealer diagnostic platforms and equipment, along with a number of generic tools and various other specialised equipment. These tools enable us to accurately diagnose the complex systems found in today’s modern vehicles.
We work with a range of advanced automotive diagnostic systems, including:
- BMW OSS system
- VAG Odis system
- Ford IDS and Etis
- Vauxhall Tech3 and InfoTech
- Jaguar Land Rover Topix
Training Excellence at NDG
While having the necessary equipment to communicate with your vehicle is crucial, possessing the skills and knowledge is equally paramount.
Our entire team, from our experienced Mastertech to our freshly qualified technicians, undergoes continuous training.
We’re fortunate to have a dedicated training center right on site — AutoiQ.
This center offers a comprehensive array of technical courses that greatly benefit our NDG staff, granting them access to top-notch automotive training.
What diagnostics services can you offer me?
We provide a code read service for while you wait, but please ensure you book an appointment with us beforehand. This offers a record of fault codes and their explanations. Please note, this may not provide a definitive answer to warning lights or performance issues, as codes can be general.
For a comprehensive diagnosis, we recommend our detailed diagnostic service. Our Mastertech conducts a thorough vehicle scan, checking for updates, technical bulletins, known faults, and more. This hour-long service includes component and wiring inspections.
If the issue persists or needs further testing, we’ll create a diagnostic plan. Most faults are resolved within this hour. If not, we’ll provide a detailed plan and associated costs for further diagnosis and resolution.
At NDG Northamptonshire, we specialise in diagnosing and resolving various car issues, including:
- Poor performance
- High fuel consumption
- Anti-lock braking concerns
- Engine misfires
- MOT emission failures
- Airbag issues
- Engine management light alerts
- Poor starting
- Fuel injection troubles
- Electronic diesel control challenges
Code read & scan
Our technician conducts a diagnostic check by reading and storing fault codes from the vehicle. This process involves performing a simple code read, which reveals any stored fault codes.
However, it’s important to note that while this procedure provides insight into potential issues, it may not always accurately pinpoint the specific faults present in the vehicle.
Some fault codes retrieved during this process can be rather general and not entirely component-specific. For instance, a code indicating low fuel pressure might not precisely identify the exact component causing the issue.
Comprehensive diagnostics check
Our Diagnostic Technician devotes one hour to conduct a comprehensive assessment, which includes checking codes, searching for manufacturers’ software updates, examining manufacturers’ bulletins for known faults and fixes, and thoroughly inspecting components and wiring.
This thorough evaluation aims to address a wide range of potential issues within the vehicle.
If the fault is intermittent or necessitates further repairs beyond the hour, we’re equipped to devise a detailed diagnostic plan to effectively resolve the problems. Often, many faults are successfully addressed within this hour-long diagnostic session.

"The staff on the customer service desks are fantastic! Helpful, polite and pro-active in offering solutions and alternatives to problems. And the mechanics are knowledgeable and friendly, very open and explain exactly what and why something needs doing, or actually telling you NOTHING needs to be done. Brilliant service all round."

“Outstanding Service and MOT!
I recently took my car in for both an MOT and service, and I couldn’t be more impressed! The team was professional, friendly, and efficient from start to finish. The MOT was completed quickly, and the service was thorough, with attention to detail, they even cleaned my car! The pricing was fair, and I left feeling confident in my vehicle’s condition...

Friendly and happy staff, always polite and helpful. My family and I have been using NDG for many years and wouldn't go anywhere else I fully recommend them. 🙂
-
Amazing service, I'm grateful for the garage fitting me in between other jobs when I had an issue with my car. All taken care of on the same day and a top job done! Highly recommend 👌
-
The service was exceptional, and Katie, who dealt with me, was very friendly and helpful, can highly recommend NDG
-
I rang to ask about a whining noise from my Discovery Sport and they said bring it in and we’ll have a look - no appointment necessary, no charge. Main dealer needed 3 weeks notice and minimum of £240 just to look! Reception area was very clean and tidy. Young ladies on reception very knowledgeable and professional. Initial diagnosis by a mechanic was less bad than I’d feared. They were... Read More

Katie was very friendly. I appreciated the calls to update me and advise the mot repair options from Rob and James. Very happy, car now drives like new. Thank you.
-
Very happy first time with this garage and I am pleased with how quick my car was dealt with and how easy it was to drop off the car with the option to self check in the car out of garage hours .prices were very good to 10/10

Fantastic service this week when getting our Jeep’s MOT done at NDG!
Our car failed unfortunately due to something being split.
This was explained to us in great detail by the staff & was all sorted out on the same day, getting us back on the road!
Been a customer at NDG for many years now & have seen them grow from strength to strength, without losing their focus on the... Read More -
Best garage I've had to use. (Mercedes owner)
-
Badly let down by the garage I'd been using for years - had my car for a week without even putting a spanner on it, and returned it scratched. Found New Duston Garage on the internet, who identified the problem very quickly, got the part, and had the car ready in a flash - everyone there first class professionals.
-
Always excellent.
-
Great honest service all round, as always
-
Very helpful, patient and friendly staff. Accurate diagnosis and professional repair first time. When my car recently presented multiple problems at once NDG bent over backwards to help me stay on the road.
I am so happy and grateful to have found a garage providing a service rarely seem these days, Thank you -
Garage came as a recommendation via a facebook group.
Really impressed that I was offered a courtesy car for the weekend if they couldn’t sort the problem late on a Friday evening. Fortunately it was sorted and even an apology for worrying me.
First time I’ve used this garage and I will certainly be using again in the future.
Thank you NDG. -
1st class Garge, highly trustworthy, nothing too much trouble, always try to help you, always contact you if something needs doing and give you options, wouldn't go anywhere else

First time using NDG after being recommended by an independent EV specialist. Very approachable staff, nice waiting and reception areas, will definitely use again in the future.

Shanice - what a superb member of the NDG team!
She is always polite, cheerful and helpful and is a huge asset…
THANK YOU

Amazing service by friendly, professional people.
-
Great service!
-
NDG have succeeded where other garages have failed, alignment and tracking on a range rover is not easy but NDG did a fantastic job, 4 new tyres and all of the alignment and tracking made it feel like a new car. Will be using them going forward for servicing and MOT as they have earned my trust. Great job!
-
Had an issue with my e class Mercedes soft close boot motor needed replacing! NDG were able to identify the part needed, order is from Merc and fit it in 2 weeks. Mercedes themselves ordered the part in August and haven’t called me back or told me if they’ve received it yet 🤣
-
Friendly, professional and great service. Highly recommended.
-
I’ve used this garage over the past 7 years. They are always reliable, fair and absolutely trustworthy. I can’t recommend them enough!
-
Great garage I’ve been using them on and off for years but having new cars I’ve mistakenly taken them to dealerships unfortunately Toyota have let me down with serious issues such as sending my car back to me with insufficient brakes on numerous occasions but NDG wouldn’t do such a thing and gave proper advice and maintenance good honest customer service and skills highly recommended by...

I screwed up my calendar and ended up with an expired MOT. NDG's team were fully booked but in my time of need, found a way to get me back on the road quickly.
Excellent service, especially when it counts.
-
I took a chance here as I've been badly let down by other garages who miss important checks causing me huge bills and breakdowns later or just mess you around. Most garages are dirty and never tell you what is involved or how long it will be and then you get a surprise bill at the end you weren't expecting.
Booked for a service and the place is very well organized and you are well... Read More

I contacted the garage on short notice for a repair, after them being recommended to me by another local garage. They luckily had a spot available in the week. The garage was always very polite and had great communication to let me know what the situation was with my car. The technician took the time to explain what the problem was and they also charged me a reasonable price.
-
They do everything a main dealer does but for a lot less just had them serviced and MOT my Jaguar XE for half the price the main dealer charged me last year very friendly staff will be taking my car back again

Always great service from the guys on the front desk and high quality work from the workshop

I've always found them to provide an excellent service and to be very helpful and accommodating. They are upfront about pricing, with options for cheaper and more expensive parts.

This garage has been superb, I've used them for three different cars and their professionalism is excellent. They have been very hospitable and understanding when accommodating me. They go the extra proverbial mile, you always get a comprehensive report from them. They are not the cheapest but you get top quality service and quality parts. They are also totally honest, unlike a number of... Read More

I have been using this garage for the last 2 years for service and MOT, both experiences have been 10/10 they have been friendly, great communication and any repairs I needed were done in a very quick turnaround.

I have been meaning to post a review for ages now. I have been using the garage for about 5 years now and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Wonderful team, very professional and great customer service.

They will always contact you to inform you what work needs to be done... Read More

Been meaning to drop these guys a positive review for ages now. Moved to Duston nearly 5 years ago and have been using them ever since. They’ve always been great, quick, good prices, friendly.
