——– Hofmann’s
Introduction
Hofmann’s is an independent specialist offering servicing and repairs for VW cars. We are a family run business, founded in 1949 by Fred Hofmann right here in Henley on Thames and serving customers throughout Oxfordshire and Berkshire. Our workshop is walking distance to the train station or town centre, and we have easy road links to both the M4 and M40 motorways.
Our team is led by Andrew Greaves who, before joining Hofmann’s, was the head of Reading Audi’s aftersales division. In the workshop we have two fully qualified VW technicians with over 25 years VW experience between them including diagnostics and systems qualifications for both passenger vehicles and vans. If you want the best for your VW, you are in safe hands!
To save your pocket our rates are less than the main dealer and we offer fixed menu pricing for the current range of VW cars. If you have a prized classic VW model our experienced technicians have the knowledge with general maintenance through to complete rebuilds.
We use VW equipment and diagnostics, along with genuine VW parts that are covered by a 2-year warranty. VW specific oils are fitted, and we are able to officially record everything in your digital service book all without effecting your manufactures warranty.
We offer all the usual services you might expect from a well-equipped garage from tyres, brakes & clutch, crash repairs and diagnostics through to engine and chassis rebuilds for classic cars. We are unashamedly ‘old-school’ in that our technicians are experts and craftsman, able to conduct complex repairs and even fabricate entire new parts.
If you are short on time, we have a collection and delivery service, or you can take advantage or our fleet of modern courtesy cars. If it’s a simple job, we can offer while you wait appointments with refreshments and we will carry out a complimentary wash and vacuum after work is complete.

Effective braking is fundamental to the safety of your car. We can supply discs, pads, drums, callipers, hydraulic components and more.

If you’re concerned that your tyres are nearing the end of their life, please pop in and let us check the tread depths and pressures and general condition FOC and we can advise how close your tyres are to the end of their serviceable life. All used tyres are recycled, and all tyre repairs and fitment are performed by experienced tyre technicians.

——– Testimonial
Hofmanns carried out an MOT on my daughters VW UP at very short notice. I rang them at 5.30pm on Wed 27 Sept 2023 and they were able to fit the car in for MOT at 8am Thurs 28th Sept 2023. Its always daunting for a young girl to deal with garages especially when she is 200 miles from home. The staff at Hofmanns were really lovely with her and I cant thank them enough for helping her. Highly recommend this garage.
