About Dartford Transmissions and Autocare
Dartford Transmissions and Autocare Ltd is an independent specialist garage based in Dartford, Kent. Founded by Martin Hind, a qualified motor engineer, we built the business on a simple principle: honest advice, quality workmanship and fair pricing. No unnecessary work, no inflated bills and no jargon.
JLR Security Accredited
We are proud to be JLR Security Accredited, meaning we are authorised to access Jaguar Land Rover’s secure dealer diagnostic systems, including SDD, Pathfinder and TOPIX Cloud. This is the same equipment and access used by franchised JLR dealerships, and not all independent garages hold this accreditation. For Land Rover, Range Rover and Jaguar owners in Dartford and Kent, it means genuine dealer-level expertise at a fraction of the main dealer cost.

A Specialist Team You Can Trust
We are fully SERMI approved, meaning we have been formally vetted and authorised to access manufacturer-level vehicle security systems across all major brands. This is not a self-declared accreditation. It involves business verification, technician background checks, secure data-handling procedures, and ongoing compliance audits.
Every member of our team holds formal training in motor repairs, double-clutch transmissions, electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. Combined with our SERMI approval and main-dealer diagnostic equipment, you get a level of expertise and authorisation that very few independent garages in Kent can match, at a fraction of the main-dealer cost.
