Car repairs and Servicing, Bideford, Northam, Westward Ho, Appledore -

Heard Elliott

Welcome to Heard Elliott in Bideford, North Devon's longest established motor firm. We are a local, independent garage, serving Bideford, Northam, Westward Ho, Appledore and the surrounding area, and we're the company that in 1956 supplied Landy (link opens in new window).

We are a Unipart Car Care Centre which means all parts fitted come with a nationwide 12000 mile or 12 month guarantee (whichever is sooner).

Opening Hours

• Mon -Thur: 8.30am to 5.30pm
• Fri: 8.30am to 5.00pm
• Sat: 9.00am to 1.00pm (work including MoTs by appointment only)

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE - effective 2 December 2020

As a precaution against the spread of the COVID-19 virus, in line with government advice we are working in the following manner.

The garage continues to provide a service for the public.  However we are operating differently in order to limit the risk of spreading the virus.  MOT testing, servicing, repairs and diagnostic work all remain available, but by appointment only.

Please contact us by telephone to arrange a time EITHER to leave your vehicle outside the garage OR for us to collect your vehicle from your address.  We will not make a charge for collection and redelivery within a 5 mile radius of Bideford.  We have a limited number of free-of-charge courtesy cars that are available upon request. 

Our preference is to take payment for completed work by card over the phone.  We are therefore likely to ask you for payment when we call you to confirm arrangements for returning your car to you.

Car sales activity is also continuing, but on a limited basis.  We would ask you to make an appointment before visiting the premises. If you have a vehicle you wish us to sell, please call us to discuss your requirements. 

We request that do not enter our premises unless invited to do so by a member of our staff.  If you are outside the premises requiring attention, please either call us or sound your horn.

We apologise for any inconvenience these measure may create, but we trust you will wish to help us in the effort to protect the most vulnerable and to keep our NHS functioning.
