Welcome to Curd Brothers

Looking after all of your MOT, Service & Repair requirements

Welcome to Curd Brothers

Curd Brothers was founded in 1960 by Bob and Alan Curd in Linden Close, Tunbridge Wells, with Bob Law joining as their first employee around 1962. The Curd Brothers quickly built a reputation for providing high-quality repairs and spare parts to the auto-electrical trade, establishing a strong foundation for their business.

In 1965, Bob Smith came on board, and as their excellent service continued to attract customers, Curd Brothers became the go-to destination for any auto-electrical issues. David Smith joined in 1971, followed by Tim Smith in 1978, fueling the booming business. Upon the retirement of Bob and Alan Curd in 1987, the Smith brothers purchased the company and relocated to its current location on Colebrook Industrial Estate, with Bob Law retiring in 1988. Remaining a family-run company, Curd Brothers now includes Paul, the nephew of David and Tim, and Tracey, David's daughter, among its employees. In January 2007, Bob Smith retired and moved to Blackpool with his family.

Curd Brothers would like to express their gratitude for your loyalty and support over the years and looks forward to many more years of serving you, our valued customers.

  • Excellent service Got a starter from the photos I sent as no numbers on my bobcat digger starter Turned up the next day and a quarter of the price of bobcats Will use again and highly recommend DFSERVICES

    This is the place where real expertise and knowledge persists about all matters of motor electrics from alternators to batteries and starter motors to full checks and so much more. Curds are more sustainable than many other electronic motor engineers as they will recondition motors rather than just fit new ones. Proper engineers.

    These guys are absolutely brilliant, they couldn't be more helpful. Lee diagnosed the fault and sorted it out - a main fuse had blown and there was a battery drain. And all at a fraction of the price that I was expecting. Can't rate them highly enough and it's given the car a stay of execution.

  • Had a starter motor replaced on a Ford mondeo. Completed within 48 hours of me calling them. Very reasonable labour rate. Great service.

    A reassuringly old-school workshop, occupied by quietly professional people who know what they are talking about and who won't blind you with bs. Changed my alternator & belt extremely quickly and the price was a lot lower than I expected. Thank heavens for Curd Bros: a main dealer would skin you alive for the same job.

    Had to phone them after breaking down suddenly, it was after hours so didn’t get through. However, vehicle recovery towed me to them (after I found the via a quick Google) I phoned the next day to explain and they were brilliant, they fitted me in that day and I was able to attend an interview the next day! Thanks to them for their efficient and pleasant service 👍🏼

    They were very fast and helpful. Tjey are car electrical specialists, and they sorted my problems right on spot, while neighbour garages had several day to two weeks waiting time to book in to even check, what the problem was. Brilliant people.
