A one-man workshop, properly run.
Cairngorm Customs is small on purpose. One pair of hands on every bike, full traceability on every job, and a paper trail you can take to an insurer or a buyer.
John. 15 years in, and still on the tools.
Time-served motor mechanic. Qualified mechanical engineer. Fifteen years on the trade side of a workshop floor, diagnostics-led, fabrication-capable, comfortable on anything from a Japanese twin to a British single.
Cairngorm exists because the work John wanted to do, proper restorations, considered one-off builds, the bench jobs that take time, doesn't fit inside a high-throughput dealer service department. So he built somewhere it does.
New unit, July–August 2026.
We're moving into a brand new unit this summer. Purpose-fitted bays, secure storage for customer bikes, and a dedicated MOT station coming online later in the year.
The paperwork side.
Properly registered, properly insured, properly legal. These are the boring details that matter when something goes wrong, so we keep them tidy.
Want to see the workshop?
Once the new unit's open, you're welcome to come down for a consultation in person, easier than describing a tank shape over FaceTime.
