Independent family-run garage in Birnam, Dunkeld. MOTs, servicing, repairs and ECU remapping backed by Bob's 32 years on the tools.
Bob's Mechanical Repairs is a family-run independent garage on the edge of Birnam, a couple of minutes from Dunkeld and straight off the A9. We look after everyday cars, vans and 4x4s for drivers across Perthshire — Dunkeld, Birnam, Bankfoot, Stanley, Murthly, Blairgowrie, Pitlochry, Aberfeldy, Perth and the villages in between.
Everything that comes through the door is looked at by Bob himself, who has 32 years on the tools. That means you get a straight answer about what the car actually needs, what can safely wait, and what it will cost before any spanner is picked up.
Class 4 MOTs are £54.85 — the same price whether the car sails through or needs work. If something fails we explain it in plain English, show you the part, and quote before we start. Retests after repair are handled in-house so you are not chasing another appointment.
You can book an MOT online, and if you would rather never think about the date again, our free MOT reminder service texts or emails you before it runs out.
Interim and full servicing, timing belts, clutches, brakes, suspension, exhausts, tyres, batteries, air conditioning and electrical faults are all handled in the workshop. Servicing follows manufacturer schedules with supplier-verified parts, so a car in warranty stays in warranty.
For warning lights and intermittent faults we run full diagnostics rather than guessing at parts. Engine management lights, ABS, airbag and EGR faults get read, tested and traced to the actual cause — a fault code tells you where to look, not what to replace.
We carry out ECU remapping for economy or performance on most modern petrol and diesel engines. Every map is road-tested, written to suit how the vehicle is actually used, and kept within safe limits for the engine and gearbox.
Alongside the workshop we run a large free advice library used by drivers all over the UK: a DVSA-backed MOT history checker, a vehicle recall checker, over 4,000 OBD fault code guides with real UK repair costs, tyre pressure and TPMS reset instructions by make, and mechanic-written buyer's guides for tools and car gear.
We are in Birnam, Dunkeld, Perthshire, PH8 0DN — just off the A9, a few minutes from Dunkeld and around 20 minutes from Perth.
A Class 4 MOT is £54.85. Retests after repairs carried out with us are handled in-house.
Booking is best — MOTs and servicing can be booked online or by calling 01350 727 276. We will always try to help with urgent breakdowns and warning lights the same day where we can.

No. Servicing to the manufacturer schedule with supplier-verified parts keeps a manufacturer warranty valid — you are not obliged to use a main dealer.
