If you live in Horsham and you're tired of circling the Foundry Lane industrial estate or queuing at a chain garage on Worthing Road, there is another option. CNR Services is in Coolham - around 15 minutes south from the Carfax through Southwater, then west towards Billingshurst. It is a straightforward drive with no town centre traffic to deal with.
Horsham has grown significantly over the past decade, with new housing across Broadbridge Heath, North Horsham and Kilnwood Vale bringing thousands more cars onto already busy roads. The number of independent garages has not kept pace. Many of the workshops around Brighton Road and the Foundry Lane area are booked out days in advance, and the national chains prioritise volume over personal service.
At CNR Services, you deal directly with the mechanic who works on your car. Ralph has over 15 years of hands-on experience and specialises in diagnostics and repair work across all makes and models, with particular expertise in Ford, Mazda, Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar, and American imports. Whether you drive a commuter hatchback to Horsham station every morning or a Land Rover through the lanes around Southwater, your car is in good hands.
We offer MOT testing carried out offsite at an independent testing centre - so the result is completely unbiased. There is no incentive for us to find faults that are not there. We also offer servicing at three levels (Interim from £189, Full from £249, Major from £399), plus exhausts, suspension, and wheel alignment.
You can book online any time, or call us on 01403 800720. We are open Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:30pm, and there is plenty of off-road parking at the garage. If the drive from Horsham feels like a commitment, consider this - you will find the 15 minutes is worth it for the honest pricing and personal service you get when you arrive.

Why Horsham Drivers Choose CNR Services
Horsham is a commuter town. Thousands of people rely on their car to get to the station, the school run, or the commute towards Dorking and London. When your car develops a problem, you need it sorted quickly by someone who will tell you the truth about what is wrong. That is exactly how we work - no upselling, no phantom faults, just an honest assessment and a fair price.
The local garage landscape in Horsham is dominated by national chains on the retail parks, plus a handful of independents dotted around the industrial estates. The chains are convenient but impersonal. The independents are often excellent but fully booked. CNR Services gives you the personal attention of a small independent with availability that the busier town garages struggle to match.
Our offsite MOT testing is a genuine differentiator for Horsham drivers. Most garages in town test MOTs on their own premises, which means they have a financial incentive to find advisory items and fail points that lead to paid repair work. Our MOTs are tested at a separate independent centre, so the result is impartial. You only pay for work that genuinely needs doing.
Horsham drivers also see plenty of wear on their vehicles from the local roads. The route south through Southwater and the rural lanes around Coolham, Nuthurst and Copsale take a toll on suspension components, exhausts and wheel alignment - especially through the winter months. We handle all of that, plus full diagnostic work for warning lights and engine management faults.
