Vauxhall Specialist
Meet Keith Wheeler - 40 Years of Vauxhall Main Dealer Experience
A true Vauxhall expert who loves working on Vauxhall cars
Meet Keith - Your Vauxhall Specialist
I'm Keith Wheeler, and I've been working on Vauxhall cars for over 40 years. I started my career at a Vauxhall main dealer in 1985, and I've never lost my passion for these vehicles.
After four decades as a senior technician and service manager at Vauxhall main dealers, I've worked on thousands of Vauxhall and Opel vehicles. From classic Astras and Corsas to modern Insignias and Crosslands, I know these cars inside and out.
I genuinely love working on Vauxhall cars. There's something special about them - their engineering, their reliability, and the satisfaction of keeping them running perfectly. When you bring your Vauxhall to me, you're getting someone who really knows his stuff.
Now, working alongside my son Elliot at Your Local Mechanic, I bring that main dealer expertise without the main dealer prices. You get the same quality work, the same attention to detail, but with honest pricing and personal service.
