About Us

Family-run autocentre built on trust, quality and customer care

We're built on trust, care and long-term relationships

More than just an Autocentre

DCM Autocentres is a proud family-run business, built on trust, hard work, and a genuine commitment to looking after both our customers and their vehicles. What started as a local autocentre has grown into a respected name for tyres, servicing, MOTs and fleet services, without ever losing the personal touch that sets us apart.

Our Shaftesbury branch is our main hub, and it reflects exactly what DCM stands for: quality workmanship, friendly service, and an environment where everyone feels welcome.

We matters to us:

Honest, transparent advice with no unnecessary upselling

High-quality workmanship from experienced technicians

A friendly, approachable team who genuinely care

A comfortable, welcoming space for individuals, families and businesses

Long-term relationships built on trust and reliability

These values shape everything we do, from the way we carry out our work to the experience you have every time you visit DCM Autocentres.

Built Around People, Not Just Vehicles

At DCM Autocentres, we believe visiting a garage should feel straightforward, stress-free and welcoming. That’s why we’ve invested heavily in improving our Shaftesbury branch, not just in our equipment and services, but in the experience you have while you’re with us.

Recent renovations have expanded our reception area to support our growing fleet services, while also creating a more comfortable space for customers who want to sit, work remotely, or simply relax while their vehicle is being taken care of. Refreshments are available, and the space is designed for both quick visits and longer stays.

A Garage Designed for Families

Being family-run means we understand real life, including what it’s like bringing children along with you. That’s why our Shaftesbury branch includes a dedicated parent & baby room.

This quiet, comfortable space allows parents to feed their babies or spend time with them in a calm, uninterrupted environment while vehicle work is completed. Alongside this, our popular ‘Toy Department’ is still very much in place, helping to keep younger visitors entertained during their visit. Our goal is simple: to ensure everyone feels included and comfortable when visiting DCM Autocentres.

Our Promise to You

Whether you’re visiting us for the first time or you’ve been coming to DCM for years, you can always expect honest advice, clear communication and high standards of workmanship.

We’re not just here to fix cars, we’re here to look after the people who drive them.

We are highly rated and reviewed

I have used this company twice recently, an emergency tyre on a Beetle and an emergency (unusual) battery on a classic Golf. Both times they have been excellent. Very helpful, professional and friendly staff. Highly recommend .

We highly recommend DCM! We travel over an hour to use their services because the team is always so friendly, supportive, and professional. They clearly explain any work needed without pressuring us—always prioritising the safety of our vehicle. Their online system is fantastic, offering a clear breakdown and photos of their findings, which really helps us feel informed and confident. When we couldn’t make it during business hours to collect our car, they kindly arranged a secure lock box system so we could pick it up at our convenience. Thank you so much, DCM!

No words can do justice to the entire team of DCM Shaftesbury, they all give their best making everything they can to help.
Honest company with the best management, very transparent about prices and their services are always outstanding. I am grateful to finally have a reliable mechanic that I can fully trust. Regardless of their busy schedule, the reception is always welcoming and helpful
