About Us

AKD Auto Services was launched in early 2007 and is located in Newtown Business Park, off Ringwood Road, Parkstone, Poole. The garage is owned and run by me, Kevin Dart, ably assisted by my two sons Jay and Luke.

I started out as a mechanic in the motor vehicle repairs and servicing trade over 26 years ago and have amassed a huge amount of experience. I’ve worked at all levels, starting my career as a grease monkey then working my way up to head of servicing at Pentagon Limited Mercedes Benz Limited.

I was perfectly positioned and decided to go it alone, to start up and run my own garage providing servicing, repairs and diagnostics of all cars, vans, light vehicles, passenger vehicles and goods vehicles. We look after vehicles belonging to the general public, taxi firms, schools and companies located in Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch and throughout Dorset.

We are a VOSA approved MOT Test Centre, use Snap-On tools, known within the trade as the finest automotive mechanics tools and AutoSmart cleaning products to clean and valet customer vehicles, again products favoured by the trade.

We have many satisfied customers, with most of our work coming from word-of-mouth, friends and family referrals. We actively network on a weekly basis as part of the BNI Dolphin Poole chapter and have been members for almost 3 years.

We offer free on-site customer parking and a customer reception waiting area. When we’re out on the road, recovering, collecting or returning customer vehicles, you might see us in our distinctive black Mitsubishi L200 pickup, complete with bling-bling alloys and tinted windows.

We do treat every vehicle as if it was our own!
