MOT Servicing
We conduct MOT tests for vehicle classes 4, 5, and 7 using screenwash checks, wiper inspections, and tyre condition assessments. Our VAT-registered process maintains warranties while ensuring compliance with road safety standards. Customers receive comprehensive feedback on seatbelts, windscreen integrity, and lighting systems.
Brake Repair
Our brake services include disc replacement, pad adjustments, and ABS diagnostics. We perform full system strip-downs, cleaning, and tension checks to guarantee passenger safety. The process combines visual inspections with functional testing for optimal stopping performance.
Tyre Services
We offer tyre replacements, pressure checks, and balancing services. Our free condition assessments evaluate tread depth and sidewall integrity. Tyre balancing ensures even wear patterns and improved fuel efficiency through precision weight adjustments.

Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we identify engine management issues, electrical faults, and sensor malfunctions. The process includes ECU data analysis and live sensor testing to pinpoint problems affecting vehicle performance or emissions.

Great garage. I've been taking my car there since I got it. The guys always do a top job and are really helpful if I ever have any queries. I'd not take my car anywhere else
