Car Friend providing Vehicle Services in Norton Canes
Gemma & Matt Friend established Car Friend in Norton Canes in 2012, to complement their existing, very successful business, TrackToys.
We are a multi-award-winning independent garage carrying out repairs, maintenance and MOTs on all makes and models. Our customer-focused ethos, attention to detail and simple passion for what we do is widely known across Staffordshire. Highly Commended by the Motor Ombudsman in their Garage Star Awards in 2020, we are the obvious choice when your car or van needs some TLC.
Servicesure
Servicesure is a UK-wide network of highly-respected independent garages.
All members of this network must meet strict criteria and an inspection to be awarded membership and Car Friend were very proud to have been accepted in 2020. We must adhere to their strict Code of Conduct across our customer service and standard of workmanship. We also offer their Brakesure, Batterysure and Oilsure initiatives, providing eligible customers with free brake pads and shoes, batteries and oils for life. The highest standards and peace of mind are guaranteed when you choose Car Friend.
Payment Assist
Car Friend understand that a large bill for vehicle maintenance or repairs can often be unexpected.
Payment Assist allows our customers to spread their bill over 4 or 6 months, interest-free, and lots of our customers take advantage of this easy way to take the pressure off their finances. Choose to split car repair bills over 4 or 6 months, no credit check for bills less than £1000, no fees and no interest. Ask any of our staff for more details.
TrackToys Racing
TrackToys is where it all started for us over 20 years ago.
Transferring our skills and years of experience working on high performance and modified race and track cars was a natural progression and so, Car Friend was born. TrackToys still provides the full gamut of services from a simple modification or performance enhancement, to a complete build, along with full trackside support. The possibilities are endless so check out our dedicated TrackToys website…

The most important maintenance item in your engine is the cambelt (also known as the timing belt). The cambelt’s job is to keep the camshaft and crank timed as it should be. Over time the cambelt will stretch and as a result the engine timing may get delayed. To avoid nasty surprises, you should have your cambelt checked annually.
Do you think you might need a clutch replacement? Your clutch has one of the toughest jobs in your car, and after many years, most will need to be replaced before they fail. If you are worried about the state of your clutch, we’d be happy to give it a service and inspection at our workshop in Norton Canes. If it does need to be replaced, Car Friend can do that for a lot less than some other places would charge.
The vast majority of new cars have air conditioning as a standard feature. These systems have become highly efficient and reliable, but everything breaks down eventually without proper care. At Car Friend, we offer all the services your air conditioning system needs to continue running safely and efficiently, working with both types of gases – anything from inspection, coolant recharging and anti-bacterial cleaning to a leak test, repair or replacement of the system.
Alignment refers to an adjustment of a vehicle’s suspension – the system that connects a vehicle to its wheels. It is not an adjustment of the tyres or wheels themselves. The key to proper alignment is adjusting the angles of the tyres which affects how they make contact with the road.
