Repairs carried out with care.
D & B Autocare is run by hardworking local mechanics who want to keep the Hertford community safe on the road. Our team brings many years of motor industry experience to every job, from battery replacement and tyre fitting to more involved mechanical repairs.
Our workshop on Mimram Road is equipped for clutches, gearboxes, exhausts, suspension, steering, wheel bearings, timing belts, wet belts and timing chains, cooling systems, air conditioning and general repairs. We can also use OBD diagnostics when a mechanical or electrical fault needs further investigation.

Tyres supplied and fitted
We offer tyre checks, repairs and replacements with options to suit different vehicles and budgets. Call us for current availability and a competitive quote.
Tyres, suspension and steering.
We’ll only recommend a tyre repair where it is safe and appropriate. Some punctures can be repaired, while sidewall damage, excessive tread wear or cracking may require replacement. Uneven tyre wear, knocking, drifting or vibration can also indicate a suspension, steering or wheel alignment issue, which our technicians can inspect.
We work on every make and model, including BMW, MINI, Audi, Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen, Ford, Vauxhall, Toyota, Nissan, Peugeot, Citroën, Renault, Kia, Hyundai, Volvo and Land Rover. Whatever you drive, you’ll receive clear advice before work begins.
