Founded in 2018

String Theory Garage was born out of a dedication to making cars drive better than ever.​ Founded in 2018 our passion, enthusiasm and knowledge of vehicle dynamics, suspension tuning and chassis setup has already built us a reputation for going above-and-beyond to supply and fit the right parts for your car. Every car that enters our garage is treated as our own, and does not leave until we, and you, are happy.

String Theory Garage is a specialist workshop and parts retailer based in Stratford-upon-Avon. In recent years we have become well known in the GR Yaris community, although we extend our services to all brands, also offering specialist knowledge on Porsche, BMW and many more.

Our workshop has always been focused on chassis setup and development offering highly detailed suspension setup service, from performing “basic” alignment services or full geometry setups with corner balancing, all the way up to tailoring bespoke suspension systems. As a team we have expertise in all areas and as a result can also offer full workshop services for all aspects of vehicle maintenance and preparation. Our workshop allows us to service our retail customer in-house, develop and test parts and still offer specialist services including (but not limited to!) engine conversions, transmission rebuilds, fabrication and safety equipment installation. 

We also have the parts retail side of our business available through our website or over the phone which works hand in hand with our workshop. We strive to only offer parts that we would supply and use ourselves, offering a more bespoke, tailored range of parts rather than just anything we can get our hands on. By building relationships with partners we are able to offer the best possible service and bespoke products developed to suit our customer’s needs. We have excellent, direct relationships with many suppliers and manufacturers such as:

  • ITG Air Filters
  • Akrapovic Exhausts
  • AST | Moton Suspension
  • Cobra Seats
  • Custom Cages
  • Evo Corse Wheels
  • HKS Europe
  • Cargraphic 
  • And more!

Ben Broke-Smith

Founder

Ben has over 15 years of experience working on cars and competed for several years in British, Irish and European drifting championships, achieving countless podium finishes and winning the European championship in 2008. From the beginning of Ben's drifting career he built, set up and maintained his own competition vehicles, and more recently has provided trackside engineering and setup support to GT racing teams.

Ben's extensive performance driving and setup work has allowed him to develop the rare ability to connect chassis and geometry changes to what the driver is feeling. 

​This, combined with his extensive technical understanding and unrivalled attention to detail are what has led to the success of String Theory Garage today, where we continue to transform the driving experience of our customer's cars on a daily basis.
