The A170 Village Gateway
Right on the Pickering Road
Snainton sits right on the A170, the main road between Scarborough and Pickering — which makes it one of our most frequently passed-through locations. The village has a strong community, a well-known riding centre, and a mix of families who've been here for generations and newcomers who've moved out from Scarborough for the countryside.
We get a fair number of call-outs here from people whose cars have decided to misbehave at the worst possible moment — a key fob that's worked fine for years suddenly won't unlock the car when you're parked at the village shop, or a transponder key that's taken a knock and stopped being recognised by the immobiliser. When you live in a village like Snainton, a non-starting car is more than an inconvenience — there's no bus every ten minutes, and a taxi into Scarborough costs a fortune.

A Bit About Snainton
Snainton is one of those A170 villages that people who don't live here tend to drive straight through on the way to Pickering or Scarborough — but the people who do live here wouldn't change it for the world. It's got a good primary school, a proper village pub, and a riding centre that draws people from across the region. The surrounding countryside is classic North Yorkshire — rolling fields, hedgerows, and the North York Moors rising to the north.
Brompton-by-Sawdon is Snainton's smaller neighbour, a picture-postcard village with a duck pond, a historic church, and the kind of stone cottages that feature on Yorkshire calendars. It's a tight-knit community — and when someone's car won't start, they usually hear about us from a neighbour who's used us before. Word of mouth is strong in these villages.
Story from the Road
The Horsebox, the Discovery, and the Lost Key in the Stable
Snainton is horse country — the riding centre is one of the biggest in North Yorkshire — and on a crisp Saturday morning, a woman who keeps her horse at a livery yard just outside the village was about to tow a horsebox to a show near Malton. Her Land Rover Discovery was hitched to the trailer, the horse was loaded, and she was ready to go — but her key was not where she'd left it.
She'd been mucking out before loading up, and the key — a Discovery 4 smart key — had slipped out of her coat pocket somewhere in the stable. An hour of searching through straw and hay turned up nothing. She had a show to get to, a horse in a trailer, and no way to start her car.
She called us at 8am. We were in Snainton by 8:25am. We supplied and programmed a new smart key for the Discovery 4 at the yard, de-programmed the lost one from the car's security system, and had the engine running before 9am. She made it to the Malton show with time to spare. We cut her a spare key the following week — because running a livery yard and competing most weekends, "one key" was never going to be enough.
