Family-run autocentre built on trust, quality and customer care
We’re built on trust, care and long-term relationships
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.
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.

“Called up for Mot to ask when they could fit me in and offered same day that was brilliant..Unfortunately working so could not get there in time.. So booked it in for couple of days. Service from josh was outstanding emailed me with information & I asked last minute for pre mot as its old beetle wanted to no if i had to order parts. The service from start to finish was outstanding. Much appreciated and will be recommending garage to everyone i no in the area... Outstanding service Thank you”
“Very helpful staff and manage to support even at last minute requests, when I was runout of MOT.”
“Great service. Can't think of any negatives. Use it 2 times a year for 3 years all good”
“These guys are simply the best. Been coming here for 7 years now - everyone is always so friendly, unbelievably quick and accommodating service at great prices. Thanks for sorting out my dodgy brakes at zero minutes notice this week! We are lucky to have this garage in the area. 10 stars plus!”
“Such a friendly service from the offset, thought I needed new brake pads and discs, turned out another garage had fitted incorrectly (upside down) including the calliper fitted back wrongly hence a wobble and brake warning light. Re fitted everything correctly without claiming were faulty and even added my Ad Blu that I left in the boot to fill later ! Car feels great and so does my bank balance ! Lovely, happy bunch reside here !”
“If I could give this garage 10 stars I would. They are always extremely friendly from the moment you step foot into the reception area, to the mechanics who always go the extra mile to help. They look after their regulars very well, and they have done that from the very first time we went in. Thank you guys and girls, it’s always a pleasure.”
“Where other MOT centres take your online booking and payment but have no room when you arrive, Blandford MOT welcomes you, and always do their best to squeeze you in. Great advice, helpful, thoughtful - a pleasure.”
“Top garage in Blandford. Excellent people who do great honest work at affordable prices. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks all.”
