Main dealer standard Honda servicing in Barnsley, without the main dealer "tax"
Honda owners tend to want the same two things from a service: the car looked after to the standard the manufacturer expects, and a booking that doesn't turn into half a day out. A Civic, a Jazz or a CR-V is the sort of car people keep for years, and keeping one properly means the work behind it is done right and written up right, every time.
At anycolourcar.com, we think you shouldn't have to choose between quality and convenience.

"I've spent over 30 years in the motor trade, a lot of it in franchised dealers. The standard of work doesn't come from the badge on the door. It comes from the people, the parts and the kit. We've got all three, without the overheads."
— Jonathan Seaman, Managing Director, anycolourcar.com
The best of both worlds
Our service centre at Stairfoot gives you main-dealer-level work with the value and personal service of a local, family-owned business.
Main dealer quality:
Skilled, EV-trained technicians who work on Honda models every week
OEM-approved parts
OEM-grade diagnostic and workshop equipment, the same standard you'd find at a franchised dealer
High-grade Shell oils and digital service history updates where your car supports it
Without the main dealer "tax":
No franchise overheads built into your bill
No inflated labour rates
No unnecessary miles every time a service comes round
Stairfoot is an easy run whether you're setting off from Hoyland or coming down through Wombwell, so booking the car in is a morning job rather than a day off work.
Our sales team works on a no-commission basis, and the workshop runs the same way. Nobody earns more by talking you into work you don't need. You get a clear diagnosis and a written estimate before any major job starts, explained in plain English with the reasoning behind it.
What we look after
We handle everything from routine servicing to more involved work on the Civic, Jazz, CR-V, HR-V, e:HEV models and the rest of the range:
Scheduled servicing to the manufacturer's schedule
Brakes, suspension, exhaust and clutch work
Warning light diagnosis
Hybrid vehicle servicing
If something needs attention now and something else can safely wait until the next visit, we'll tell you which is which.
Will it affect my manufacturer warranty?
No. UK competition law protects your right to have your car serviced by an independent garage during the manufacturer warranty. A manufacturer can't refuse warranty cover just because the servicing wasn't done by a franchised dealer. It only needs to follow the manufacturer's schedule, use parts of matching quality, and be properly recorded.
That's exactly how we work, and every service is fully documented. If a warranty repair or recall is needed, that still goes through the franchised network, and we'll tell you when that's the case.
FAQ
A few things people usually ask before they book.
Are you an official Honda dealer?
No. We're an independent, family-owned business. That independence is what lets us offer main dealer standards without main dealer prices.
Can you do my MOT?
Yes, we arrange it for you. The test itself is carried out at a partner testing station, so just mention it when you book your service.
Do I need to have bought my car from you?
Not at all. Our service centre is open to everyone, whatever you drive and wherever you bought it.
