Kirkwall is Orkney's main town, but the KW postcode area is a genuine Royal Mail quirk — it also stretches south across the Pentland Firth to cover Wick, Thurso and the whole of Caithness, joined only by the Scrabster-to-Stromness or Gills Bay-to-St Margaret's Hope ferry crossings. Corsas, 208s and Transits here often make that crossing, engines shut down in a cold vehicle deck before restarting dockside an hour or more later. Whether you're in Orkney or out on the Caithness mainland along the A9 and A99, our vetted specialists cover the area, with a fixed quote agreed before any work begins.
Areas our Kirkwall specialists cover: Kirkwall, Stromness, Wick, Thurso, John o'Groats, Halkirk, Golspie — and the wider Scotland area.
Cars that cross the Pentland Firth often sit shut down in a cold ferry hold for an hour or more before restarting dockside — that repeated cold-soak-then-restart cycle stresses a wet belt in a way a normal short commute never does.
