We're based on Purfleet Road in Aveley, sitting just off the A1306 with the A13 a couple of minutes away. That puts most of Thurrock and a good chunk of east London within a short drive.
Below is roughly how long it takes from each of the places our customers come from, and the easiest way in.

Areas we serve
Our home patch. We're 4 minutes from the village centre, and most of our customers live within a mile or two of the workshop.
About 8 minutes via the A1306, or across on Ferry Lane. Plenty of our regulars come from the Rainham and Wennington side, mostly because independent MOT capacity that way is thin.
Around 11 minutes on the A1306, coming past Lakeside. Worth the run if you've had a main-dealer quote at the retail park - we're doing the same schedules for a good deal less.
3 minutes down the A1090. Straightforward in and out, and easy to drop the car before heading to the station.
12 minutes north. Same postcode district as us, so we see a lot of South Ockendon vehicles.
11 minutes east on the A1013. A bit further, but a regular run for van customers heading toward the docks.
9 minutes via the A1306. Handy if you're working around the retail park or the industrial estates.
Fleets and further afield
Plenty of people drive past two or three garages to get here, usually because someone recommended us. If you're outside the towns above and it's worth the trip to you, it's worth the trip to us.
We also look after small van fleets across Thurrock and east London - staggered MOT dates, one contact, one invoice.

Address: Rykel House, Purfleet Rd, Aveley, Purfleet-on-Thames, Essex RM15 4DT.
By road: We're on Purfleet Road, the stretch running south out of Aveley village towards Purfleet-on-Thames.
From the A13 - come off onto the A1306 signposted Aveley and Purfleet, follow it into Aveley, then turn south onto Purfleet Road. We're on the corner.
From the M25 - leave at Junction 30/31 and pick up the A1306 westbound towards Aveley.
From Lakeside, Chafford Hundred or West Thurrock — A1306 westbound, then south onto Purfleet Road.
From Rainham or Wennington — A1306 eastbound into Aveley, then south onto Purfleet Road.
Look out for the Rykel sign-written building next to the traffic lights onto Purfleet Road from the Arterial Road.
Nearest station:
Purfleet-on-Thames, about a mile south of us - roughly 20 minutes on foot, or a couple of minutes in a taxi. It's on the c2c line into Fenchurch Street, so if you're leaving the car with us for the day it's a straightforward run into London. Ockendon station is also on the c2c line but it's around three miles away, so Purfleet-on-Thames is the one you want.
