About The Forge Garage Group in Bournemouth and Poole

The Forge Garage Group has a long history of providing motorists across the Bournemouth and Poole area with outstanding garage services for over a century, earning a strong reputation for excellence and reliability.

Leading the Way in Independent Garage Services

Leading the business through the 21st century, Karl Payne has firmly established The Forge Garage Group as the front-running independent garage group serving Bournemouth and Poole. With six individual branches – including the specialist Forge Van Centre in Poole – we maintain uncompromising dedication to delivering the very highest standards of workmanship. Our key principles of proactivity and preventative maintenance play a vital role in ensuring trouble-free motoring for our customers, and we continue to raise and set standards that remain unmatched across the BH postcode.

Comprehensive Services Using State-of-the-Art Technology

Through continual investment, all our branches are fully equipped with state-of-the-art technology to meet today’s demanding service requirements. We offer a comprehensive range of services to cover every need, from mechanical repairs and replacements such as brakes, suspension, and tyres, to more specialised work including advanced vehicle diagnostics, wet belt replacement, DPF cleaning, and AdBlue solutions. In addition, we carry out dealer-level servicing and most classes of MOT testing on site.

Qualified Technicians for All Vehicle Types

Our services are available for most makes and models of cars and vans, including hybrid and electric vehicles, which we are fully qualified to service and maintain. All of our technicians are highly trained, with several having achieved the prestigious Master Technician status – a rare distinction among independent garages in the UK. We are also proud to be associated with many leading motoring organisations, and are AA-Certified.

Convenient Locations & Customer-Focused Facilities

The The Forge Garage Group workshops are conveniently located close to one another and just a short distance from Wimborne, making us easily accessible for customers in Charminster, Ensbury Park, Moordown, and surrounding areas. Several branches offer wheelchair-accessible waiting areas with refreshments, WC facilities, and free Wi-Fi. As an added benefit, we also provide a local collection and delivery service within five miles, as well as courtesy cars or vans, all subject to availability.
