About the journey
Your local garage for Hockley drivers
Hockley sits in the north-west corner of Birmingham, home to the Jewellery Quarter and the busy Hockley Circus junction where the A34 meets the A4540 Middleway. From here, Sun Garage in West Bromwich is a short hop north-west along the A41 Birmingham Road through Handsworth, and most Hockley drivers are with us in around 8-10 minutes outside of peak traffic.
It is an area of contrasts — Victorian jewellery workshops and modern loft conversions sit alongside terraced streets in Newtown and Winson Green. We see everything from jewellers' vans and city-centre commuters to young families who have moved into the newer developments and want a garage that will not baffle them with jargon.
Plenty of our Hockley customers work in or around the Jewellery Quarter itself and simply cannot afford for a car to be off the road unexpectedly. We keep communication straightforward: if something needs doing now we say so, and if it can wait until your next service we tell you that too, with no pressure either way.
The A41 corridor through Handsworth can bunch up around school time and the evening rush, but it is a direct, well-signed route and easy to navigate even if you rarely leave the city. Once you cross into West Bromwich, Sandwell Road is the main road through town, so finding us is never the hard part.
Because Hockley is so close to the Birmingham-Sandwell boundary, we also pick up trade from Handsworth and Lozells on the same run, meaning we are used to dealing with a real mix of vehicles — older diesel runabouts, hybrids, and the odd classic being kept on the road out of pride rather than necessity.
Whatever you drive, we cover MOT testing, interim, full and major services, diagnostics, brakes, suspension and general repairs under one roof. If you are weighing up a short drive to West Bromwich against queuing for a slot nearer home, call 0121 553 0296 and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth it for your job.
Approximately 8-10 minutes north-west of Hockley via the A41 Birmingham Road through Handsworth.

Common questions
- Is it worth driving from Hockley to West Bromwich for a garage?
- Most Hockley customers say yes — the drive is only 8-10 minutes via the A41, and they value the honest pricing and clear explanations enough to skip busier options closer to the Jewellery Quarter.
- Do you work on Birmingham-registered vehicles?
- Yes. Where your car is registered makes no difference to us — we service and repair vehicles from anywhere. Your reg plate simply helps us pull up the right parts and specifications.
- Can I book an appointment today?
- Call 0121 553 0296 or book online. We often have same-day or next-day slots for routine MOTs and services, and we will tell you straight away if we cannot fit you in quickly.
- How long does a service usually take?
- An interim service typically takes 1-2 hours, a full service 2-3 hours, and a major service longer depending on what we find. We always give you a realistic estimate when you book.
- Is parking easy near the garage?
- Yes, there is parking available close to our Sandwell Road workshop, so leaving your car with us for the day while you carry on with work in Hockley is straightforward.
