MOT Testing
We conduct official MOT tests to ensure vehicles meet UK road safety and emissions standards. Our technicians identify advisory issues before they become failures. Repairs for failed MOTs are completed on-site with prior cost approval, maintaining transparency throughout the process.
Car Servicing
We offer basic, full, and major servicing packages aligned with manufacturer guidelines. Services include oil changes, fluid top-ups, brake checks, and component inspections. Regular maintenance extends vehicle lifespan while maintaining fuel efficiency and reliability for all car models.
Air Conditioning Recharge
Our aircon recharge service restores cooling efficiency by replacing lost refrigerant. Technicians check for leaks and replenish lubricants to manufacturer specifications. This two-yearly maintenance ensures optimal performance in both summer and winter driving conditions.

They seem honest and only charge for work and parts that are fitted. No adding parts that aren't needed and genuinely try to fix the problem without you incurring a huge bill because you didn't need all those parts. Really impressed with the service! Really friendly and helpful. Should have used this garage sooner!
Update:
Took the car for an MOT last year and the service was awful. There was delay after delay, waiting for parts, unable to troubleshoot without a part, waiting for parts again. More delays. The car was in for far too long and we won't be going here again. Shame because the service

Five star fantastic service - they delivered me a battery extremely quickly at short notice and fitted it for me in the supermarket car park. Very grateful - thanks so much.

Since being recommended to this garage by a good friend we've used them ever since. Mot's, vehicle repairs and fault finding. We have a Volvo and Audi and have also taken my mother's ford here. Guy and his team have always been friendly and helpful. Not over priced and an excellent service all round.

First time I've had my car mot'd here. Very professional service from booking my car in on the phone, dropping it off at reception and collecting it. Every step well explained, feel like good honest people to do business with - I'll be back.

I moved to the area 3 years and was looking for a good local garage. After using some other garages a friend recommended Long Eaton Garage Services. They are great. Good value and knowledgeable they have serviced both family cars for the last couple of years. More importantly though is both cars are about 10 years old, and when things have gone wrong with them they have been able to diagnose and promptly fix them - unlike some other garages. The garage is a proper independent garage that you can trust. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
