Services
MOT Testing
We conduct official MOT tests at our approved test centre using DVSA-certified equipment. Our qualified testers check all safety-critical components including brakes, tyres, lights, and emissions systems. We offer partial re-tests within 10 working days for failed MOTs and provide advisory reports to help maintain vehicle safety between tests.
General Repairs
Our technicians handle repairs for all vehicle systems including engines, exhausts, steering, and suspension. We use diagnostic equipment to identify issues with warning lights and perform precision repairs to manufacturer specifications. Services include clutch replacements, brake pad changes, and performance tuning for improved vehicle efficiency.
Air Conditioning Repairs
We diagnose and repair air conditioning system faults including refrigerant leaks and compressor issues. Our service includes system evacuation, re-gassing with correct refrigerant type, and filter replacement. Regular maintenance prevents reduced cooling efficiency and costly breakdowns while maintaining cabin air quality.
Wheel Alignment
Our laser alignment system checks caster, camber, and toe angles against manufacturer specifications. Correct alignment improves fuel efficiency, extends tyre life, and enhances vehicle handling. We recommend checks after kerb impacts or when experiencing uneven tyre wear or steering pull.
Vehicle Servicing
We offer interim, full, and major servicing packages tailored to vehicle mileage and manufacturer requirements. Services include oil changes, filter replacements, and safety inspections. Regular servicing maintains warranty validity and prevents mechanical failures through proactive component checks.
Questions
How do I book an MOT test?
Use our online booking tool with your car registration, call 01483 282 025, or visit our garage. We recommend booking within a month of your current MOT expiry.
What servicing options are available?
We offer interim services for vehicles under 12,000 miles, full services for annual maintenance, and major services for vehicles over three years old.
Do you use genuine parts?
We fit original equipment parts or equivalent quality alternatives to maintain manufacturer specifications and preserve vehicle warranties.
Can you help with failed MOT repairs?
Yes, we fix all MOT failure points and offer partial re-tests within 10 working days at no additional charge for completed repairs.
Is air conditioning service necessary?
Manufacturers recommend biennial air con services to maintain efficiency, as systems lose 10% refrigerant annually and accumulate contaminants.
