Colwyn Bay is about eight miles from our Foryd Road workshop in Kinmel Bay — a straight run along the A55 or the coast road through Llanddulas and Abergele. Far enough that you will want a reason to come; close enough that plenty of people do.
The reason is what the two workshops cover between them. Kinmel Bay handles DVSA approved Class 4 MOT testing, servicing to manufacturer schedules, brakes, tyres and alignment. Rhyl, a mile further on, takes advanced diagnostics, electrical work, hybrid and EV, vans and fleet, and the DPF Doctor assessment that finds the cause of a blocked filter rather than just clearing the symptom.
We are a family business, so the person who books your car in is the person who tells you what it needed and why — and every job is quoted before it starts.

Colwyn Bay — common questions
How far is the workshop from Colwyn Bay?
Our Kinmel Bay branch is at 93a Foryd Road, Kinmel Bay, Rhyl LL18 5LU — about 8 miles from Colwyn Bay, on the A548 coast road just west of the Foryd Bridge. Our Rhyl branch on Glan Y Morfa Industrial Estate is the other option if it suits you better.
Do you work on hybrids and electric cars?
Yes, at our Rhyl branch. Shaw's has four Level 3 EV technicians, one Level 4 EV technician and one technician trained directly by Tesla. All EV and high voltage work is carried out through the Rhyl workshop. We are HEVRA members and EVSure approved.
Will servicing with you affect my manufacturer warranty?
No. We service to the manufacturer's own schedule using the correct specification parts and Castrol oils, which is what keeps a warranty intact — you are not obliged to use a main dealer to protect it.
Can I book online?
Yes — pick Kinmel Bay as your branch, enter your registration, choose what you need and select a time. If you would rather talk it through first, call the branch and we will book it with you.
