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.

Trust us to take care of your vehicle!

  • Had an intermittent alternator problem and they figured it out overnight. Very reasonable too.

    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.

    Point blank refused to entertain the idea of de-soldering the left-lights-on buzzer on dashboard instrument panel, and replacing with a new stock one. No reason, other than... it's an Audi. No apology, not even a hello when I walked in. Gruff service. Uh, hello... you're supposed to be automotive electricians... never again will our paths cross.

    Great service. New Alternator ordered and delivers next day. Also tested my old one for free.

  • Fast, friendly and efficient service today to mend an electrical fault in the car lights. Rang at 8, dropped the car off straight away and picked it up in the afternoon. Happy to recommend.

    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 👍🏼
