Clutch and gearbox repairs in Mid Suffolk
Barking Tye Service Station is a locally owned garage in Barking Tye, part of the parish of Barking in Mid Suffolk, a couple of miles from Needham Market and an easy drive from Stowmarket and Ipswich. When your gearbox isn’t right, we diagnose the fault and repair it here in our own workshop, rather than passing you on to someone else.
You might notice grinding or crunching when you change gear, a gear that’s hard to select, a whining noise, or a gear that slips. Whatever it is, ring us and describe it. We’ll explain what we find and what’s needed, clearly and honestly, so you understand every step. It’s why our customers’ reviews keep coming back to honesty, fair prices and a high standard of work.

What our customers say
Honest, friendly and fairly priced, in our customers’ own words.
“Been going there since 2019 and never felt there was unnecessary upselling. Matt is great, always helpful and listening to customers. He always explains what is needed. Moved to Colchester for work but my place for repairs/servicing is here.”
I have him do all our MOTs
Matt is honest and fair, he tries hard to help his customers. I've been going there for years before Matt took over, he is polite, and I have him do all our MOTs. Give him a try and make your own mind up.
No hidden “extras”
Honest and friendly garage; Matt has been very helpful for both MOT and general car servicing. Pricing was excellent with no hidden “extras”. I would recommend Barking Tye Service Station without hesitation.

Pricing very reasonable
New customer. Great friendly service. Pricing very reasonable. Would recommend!
