The MINI Repair Shop in Lincoln crowned best car garage in Lincolnshire
A Lincolnshire car garage has been crowned the best in the county by our readers in a poll which received thousands of votes. The MINI Repair Shop on Whisby Road in North Hykeham[1], Lincoln, came out on top with nearly 50 per cent of the overall votes in our top five shortlist – followed by Vulcan Motor Engineering in Waddington which received 36.5 per cent.
Good friends and experienced technicians Kyle Berry and Steve Chambers first opened the MINI Repair Shop in the summer of 2021. They specialise in MINIs and BMWs but are also skilled in all other makes and models of vehicles, offering a range of services including repairs, diagnostics and MOTs.
The pair, along with vehicle technician Dave Mott, promise to offer a high-quality service at an affordable price. Speaking on the business’s success, Steve said: “We both worked at Soper BMW/MINI so this is our bread and butter. We got to senior level and decided to give it a go ourselves just after Covid. It’s going well so far and we’ve been really well-received. We’ve got a lot of customers in just a short period of time which is fantastic.”

The MINI Repair Shop won Start-Up Business of the Year at Lincolnshire Live’s business awards[3] in 2022, which Steve and Kyle said boosted their recognition. Steve added: “We obviously strive to do a good job and it’s nice to actually be recognised for doing a good job.”

Steve and Kyle’s wives, Kathryn and Natasha, also work for the company by managing the office and supporting the team behind the scenes. They are looking to expand the business in the near future by opening another garage at the Discovery Court business park as well as hiring another vehicle technician.
The MINI Repair Shop has an online booking system which can be found on their website[4], which offers a full price list for each service.
