About A Star Garage

Shoreham's trusted independent family garage. Combining 15+ years of mechanical expertise with honest, local service.

Our Story

Founded on the principles of honesty and reliability, A Star Garage has been serving the Shoreham-by-Sea community for over 15 years. We started as a small family operation with one goal: to provide high-quality auto repairs without the dealership price tag.

Today, we are a fully DVSA-approved MOT testing centre, equipped with the latest diagnostic technology to service all makes and models. Despite our growth, we remain a family-run business at heart—the kind of garage where we know our customers by name and treat every car as if it were our own.
