About ARK Automotive Group
The UK's Timing Belt & Chain Specialists
Founded by master technicians who got tired of seeing engines written off due to poor-quality or overpriced timing work. We built ARK to do it right — every time.
Our Story
ARK Automotive Group was founded with a single mission: to give UK drivers access to specialist-grade timing belt and chain work at honest prices. Too many engines were being condemned or poorly repaired by generalist garages lacking the specific tooling, training, and parts knowledge this work demands.
Our founders — all master-level technicians with decades of combined experience — set out to build a business that treats every vehicle as if it were their own. That means OEM-matched components, manufacturer-specified torque settings, and a full inspection report with every job.
Today we cover the entire UK, working with both private motorists and fleet operators who need timing work done correctly, documented, and guaranteed.
