About Us
Over 50 Years of Honest, Reliable Service – From Our Family to Yours
Ron Turnbull Garages has been a proud part of the Middlesbrough community since 1972. What began as a small, family-run workshop has grown into one of the area’s most trusted independent garages – and we’re still just as committed to doing things the right way: with honesty, fairness, and genuine care.
Now run by the next generation of the Turnbull family, we’ve continued to uphold the values Ron started with over five decades ago. From MOTs and car servicing to brakes, diagnostics, and more, we treat every customer’s car as if it were our own.
We’re not part of a chain. We don’t upsell what you don’t need. What we do offer is expert workmanship, fair prices, and a friendly face that remembers your name.
We service and repair all makes and models – from everyday run-arounds to high-performance vehicles. Whatever you drive, you're in safe hands.
A Local Garage with a Big Heart
We know that finding a garage you can trust isn’t always easy. That’s why we make it our mission to be approachable, transparent, and helpful – whether you’re a long-time customer or visiting us for the first time.
When you bring your vehicle to us, you’ll always get:
✔️ Clear communication – We’ll explain what’s needed and why, in plain English.
✔️ Upfront pricing – No hidden extras or surprise charges.
✔️ Fast, efficient service – We respect your time and get you back on the road as quickly as possible.
We’ve worked hard to earn the trust of generations of Middlesbrough drivers – and we’re proud to still serve many of the same families who came to us in the early days.
More Than Just Mechanics
We believe great customer service goes hand-in-hand with great mechanical work. That’s why we:
✔️ Keep our workshop clean, organised, and welcoming.
✔️ Offer flexible booking options and prompt turnaround times.
✔️ Provide honest advice that puts your needs first.
Our goal isn’t just to fix your car – it’s to make you feel completely confident in the service you receive, every single time.
