Services
ADAS Calibration
Specialist calibration of advanced driver assistance systems including adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping technology. Our certified technicians use manufacturer-grade equipment to ensure safety-critical systems function correctly. This service maintains vehicle warranty compliance and enhances road safety through precise recalibration after windscreen replacements or suspension work.
MOT Testing
Comprehensive MOT testing for petrol, diesel, and electric vehicles. Our four-tester facility identifies potential failures before official inspections. We provide free re-tests for repairs completed at our garage, with transparent defect reporting and advisory notes to help maintain vehicle roadworthiness between tests.
Hybrid & EV Repairs
Specialist servicing for hybrid and electric vehicles using approved diagnostic tools. Our technicians hold IMI Level 3 qualifications in high-voltage systems, ensuring safe battery management and regenerative braking system maintenance. We maintain manufacturer service schedules while offering independent pricing for electric vehicle owners.
DPF Cleaning
Advanced diesel particulate filter cleaning using thermal regeneration technology. Our process removes soot build-up without disassembly, restoring engine performance and reducing emissions. We combine this with EGR valve maintenance to prevent recurring issues, with post-service diagnostics confirming system functionality.
Engine Diagnostics
Computerised engine diagnostics for all vehicle makes using the latest Bosch equipment. Our technicians interpret error codes and live data streams to identify mechanical, electrical, and emissions system faults. We provide detailed reports explaining issues and offer fixed-price repair options with warranties on completed work.

Used carmaster for the 1st time after been recommended by a friend. Had my timing belt and service done. All the staff I dealt with were really friendly and professional. Really happy with their communication with me while my car was in the garage. The tin of sweets in the car were nice touch! Won't be going anywhere else now.

Had my car serviced and MOT tested at Carmaster for the first time recently.
Booked my car in with ease using the simple online booking system. The staff are very courteous and make you feel at ease due to their professionalism. My car needed a little work which was explained to me thoroughly beforehand. Good value for money and a very prompt service means that I will definitely be a returning customer.
