Garage in Compton — MOT, servicing and repairs.
Compton drivers avoid the trip into Chichester — full servicing, MOT and repair just eight minutes up the road, with transparent pricing and dealer-grade diagnostics.
Southern VSR is an independent workshop at Hill Ash Farm, West Harting. We do everything a main dealer does — Class 4 and 7 MOT, manufacturer-schedule servicing, dealer-level diagnostics, cambelts, wet belts, clutches and welding — without the dealer price or the two-week wait. Three courtesy cars are available free of charge while your vehicle is with us.

Getting to us from Compton
From the Coach & Horses, head north through Up Marden and Compton Down towards Harting, then follow signs for West Harting — Hill Ash Farm, GU31 5NY is on your left as you come into the hamlet.
It's about four miles of quiet lanes and takes around eight minutes — considerably quicker than the run down into Chichester.
Drivers from The Coach & Horses, Compton Village Stores and the surrounding streets bring their vehicles to us every week.
What makes us different to the other Compton garages
- You see the fault, not just the bill. Every job includes a digital health check — traffic-light condition scoring, photographs of anything we flag, and a video walkaround recorded by the technician under your car. It arrives by text before we do any extra work.
- Warranty-safe servicing with a digital stamp. We service to the manufacturer's own schedule and update the online service record for BMW, Mercedes, Ford, Land Rover, Volvo and the VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda group — so your history stays intact for resale.
- Wet belt and timing specialists. We do a lot of Ford EcoBoost, PSA PureTech and Transit wet belt work that other local garages send away — with the correct locking tools, not improvised ones.
- In-house welding and fabrication. MOT corrosion failures, sills, floor pans and chassis repairs are done here rather than subcontracted, which usually saves a week.
- MOT and service reminders that actually arrive. We track your MOT and service dates against DVSA records and text you in good time, so you're never caught out at the roadside.

Compton questions, answered
Where is your garage in relation to Compton?
We're at Hill Ash Farm, West Harting, GU31 5NY — about 4 miles from Compton, roughly a 8 minute drive. There's free parking on site and you can drive straight up to the workshop doors.
Do you offer a courtesy car?
We keep three courtesy cars — a VW Polo, a Honda Civic and a Peugeot 208 — free to use while your vehicle is with us. You'll need a full UK licence and your own insurance details; we ask for them when you book.
Will servicing with you affect my manufacturer warranty?
No. Under Block Exemption rules an independent garage can service a vehicle in warranty as long as the work follows the manufacturer's schedule and uses matching-quality parts. We service to schedule and update the manufacturer's digital service record for BMW, Mercedes, Ford, Land Rover, Volvo and the VW/Audi/SEAT/Skoda group.
How far ahead do I need to book?
Online booking asks for about a week's notice so we can plan parts and technician time. If you need something sooner, call 01730 555 777 — we hold slots back most weeks for urgent work and can often fit MOTs in within a couple of days.
What do I get after the work is done?
Every vehicle gets a full digital health check: traffic-light condition report on brakes, tyres, suspension, heatshields and undertray, photos of anything we flag, and a video walkaround from the technician. It lands by text and email, so you can see the fault yourself before approving any extra work.
