About the workshop

Built by enthusiasts. Trusted by Kent drivers.

Kent Performance Garage was founded in 2008 by a small group of technicians who wanted to run the kind of workshop they'd want to bring their own cars to. Not much has changed since.
Kent Performance Garage workshop

What started as a two-bay unit off the A20 has grown into a five-ramp workshop with a dedicated diagnostics bay and an in-house rolling road — but the ethos hasn't shifted since day one.

Every job that comes in gets the same treatment: proper diagnosis, honest pricing and quality parts. We'd rather turn a job away than do it half right.

We're as happy servicing a family hatchback as we are building a stage-3 engine. The car doesn't need to be exotic — but the work always is.

How we work

Our commitments to you.

Craft over volume

We take on the work we can do properly — not the most cars we can push through in a day.

Genuine enthusiasm

Our team drives what you drive. The advice you get is honest, considered and never scripted.

Manufacturer-trained

Certified across BMW, Audi, VW, Ford and Japanese performance platforms.

Long-term customers

Most of the cars in the workshop belong to people we've been looking after for years.

The team

People, not job titles.

Technical knowledge, motorsport experience and a genuine passion for cars — that's what you're handing your keys to.
