A Simple Way to Manage Big Bills

Car repair bills don’t always come at the best time. If you’ve been hit with an unexpected cost, we offer a flexible way to break down the payment, without paying more overall.
At Whatlington Garage, we use Payment Assist to help you spread the cost of your repair over 4 months, totally interest-free. No hidden fees, no credit card needed, and no awkward chats at the counter.

How it Works

Quick, easy, and set up in minutes.
If your invoice total is between £200 and £1,000 (excluding tyres), you can use Payment Assist to divide the cost into manageable chunks.
Pay a deposit today
Usually 25% of your total bill, taken when the car is collected.
Spread the rest
The remaining balance is split evenly over the next 3 months.
Done
That’s it! No interest, no extra fees, and no stress!
