Services
MOT Testing
We conduct MOT testing for all car and light commercial vehicle makes and models, including dedicated lanes for motorcycles. Our certified testers use DVSA-approved equipment to ensure compliance with safety and environmental standards. Customers benefit from accurate assessments and clear advice on required repairs.
Air Condition Repair
Our air conditioning services include system diagnostics, gas regassing, and component repairs for most modern vehicles. Using dual-gas compatible machinery, we restore cooling efficiency while checking for leaks or mechanical issues. This ensures driver comfort and prevents long-term system damage through proactive maintenance.
Tyre Sales & Repairs
We supply and fit tyres for cars and light commercial vehicles, complemented by 3D wheel alignment technology. Our technicians assess tread depth, pressure, and wear patterns to recommend appropriate replacements. Emergency puncture repairs and balancing services help maintain vehicle safety and fuel efficiency.
Diesel Diagnostics
Specialist diesel engine diagnostics identify electronic or mechanical faults using advanced scanning equipment. We address issues with fuel injection systems, EGR valves, and turbochargers, providing cost-effective repairs. This service ensures optimal engine performance and reduced emissions for modern diesel vehicles.
Used Car Sales
Our forecourt showcases up to 20 carefully selected used cars, primarily focusing on Vauxhall models with competitive pricing. Each vehicle undergoes thorough mechanical checks before sale, with transparent mileage records and service history provided. Finance options and part-exchange facilities are available to simplify purchases.
