About Excel Auto Care
A local garage built around straightforward service
Excel Auto Care is an independent garage in Yaxley, serving drivers across Peterborough and the surrounding area with practical vehicle maintenance and repair support.
Our story
Independent, local and customer-focused
Director Nick Heyes opened Excel Auto Care with a clear aim: to combine high standards of vehicle care with the personal customer service people value from a local independent garage.
Nick is now based in Holme, while the workshop remains in Yaxley. The business has grown through local customers returning and recommending the garage to family and friends.
Today, the team supports customers with MOTs, servicing, diagnostics and a broad range of vehicle repairs for all makes and models of cars and vans. Customers can speak directly to the garage, explain what they have noticed and discuss the next step before work is agreed.
