From a punctured commuter tire at 7am to a full set of premium fitments before a road trip — Synthark is the independent auto-care workshop drivers in north London actually recommend.
A neighbourhood workshop that took the upsell out of car care.
Synthark was started in 2019 by two former dealership technicians who were tired of watching customers get talked into work they didn't need. We run a tight team of seven IMI-certified fitters across two London bays, and we share before/after photos for every brake, tire and oil job we touch.
Bay-cam footage of every fitment, sent to your phone after the job.
Quoted prices include consumables, valves and disposal — no add-ons at the till.
Loyal customers earn a 10% workshop credit on their fourth visit and beyond.
The figure we text you is the figure on your invoice. Consumables, balancing weights and disposal already included.
📋
Digital health-check
Each visit ends with a multi-point report — tread, pads, fluids, battery — emailed before you drive away.
🛞
Specialised in fitting
We don't dabble in detailing or bodywork. Tires, batteries, oil and brakes are 100% of what passes through our bays.
⚡
EV-friendly
High-load EV tires in stock, dedicated EV jacking points, and brake service that respects regenerative-braking patterns.
🤝
Plain-English advice
If you don't need it yet, we'll tell you when to come back. We track tread depth and pad thickness over time, so you stay ahead.
♻
Recycle as standard
Old tires, batteries and oil are processed through licensed UK recyclers. Every visit comes with a recycling note in your file.
Driver stories
What people say after their first visit.
★★★★★
"They sent me a video of my old brake pad next to a new one. I've never had a workshop be that transparent. Booked again the same week for tires."

"I had a battery scare on a Saturday morning. Walked in at 9, drove out at 9:38 with a fresh AGM and a coding receipt. Calmest car emergency I've had."

★★★★★
"I'm picky about who touches my wheels. Synthark used proper torque sticks, kept the centre caps in a labelled tray, and didn't scuff a single rim."

Common questions
Useful before you book.
Do I need an appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome for tire repairs and battery checks. For full fitments and oil services, booking a slot online or by phone keeps your wait under fifteen minutes.
What brands of tires do you stock?
We carry premium, mid-range and budget tiers from Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Pirelli, Hankook, Falken and Kumho, in sizes from 14 to 22 inches. If your size isn't on the rack, we can usually source it within four working hours.
How long does an oil change take?
A standard oil and filter service is finished in roughly 35 minutes. Complex sumps or hybrid drivetrains can take a little longer; we always confirm the time before starting.
Do you provide a written report?
Yes. Every job leaves with a digital health-check sheet covering tread depth, pad thickness, fluid levels and battery condition — sent to your inbox the same afternoon.
What payment methods are accepted?
Card, contactless, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer. Fleet customers can request a 14-day invoice account after a brief credit review with our office team.
Is there a guarantee on workmanship?
All fitting work is covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever is sooner. Tire and battery products carry their respective manufacturer warranties on top of that.
Booked once, returned often.
Reserve a bay in under a minute. We'll confirm the slot the same hour and text the price before any work starts.
