Running a family garage in East London isn’t just about fixing engines or passing MOTs — it’s about looking after our neighbours.
At 1ST (E3) SONS LTD, every customer that walks through our doors is treated like one of our own.
We know what it’s like to rely on your car — to get to work, drop the kids off, or just go about your day without hassle.
That’s why we’ve built our garage on trust, transparency, and doing things right the first time.
When you bring your vehicle to us, you're not getting a rushed, impersonal service. You're getting a team that listens, explains, and follows through. You’re getting straightforward pricing, honest diagnostics, and no upselling of things you don’t need.
Our customers return not just because we’re good with cars — they return because they know we’ve got their back. And when you read their reviews, you’ll see it for yourself.
Thank you for trusting us with your vehicles, your safety, and your time. It means the world to us — and we promise to keep earning that trust every day.
Warm regards,

Owner & Founder – 1ST (E3) SONS LTD
