Services
Car Servicing
We provide comprehensive servicing for all vehicle types including petrol, diesel, electric, and hybrid models. Our technicians follow manufacturer specifications while using genuine Bosch components. With dealer-level diagnostics for major brands, we ensure optimal vehicle performance and longevity while maintaining warranty validity through documented service records.
MOT Testing
As a VOSA-approved MOT testing centre, we conduct thorough Class IV MOT examinations using digital diagnostic systems. Our pre-MOT checks identify potential failures, while our repair service addresses identified issues. We maintain detailed electronic records for future reference, ensuring compliance with UK roadworthiness standards for passenger vehicles and light commercial vans.
Wheel Alignment
Our advanced Hunter alignment system calibrates wheel geometry to manufacturer specifications. This service improves fuel efficiency, extends tyre life, and enhances vehicle handling. We provide before-and-after alignment reports, covering all vehicle types from compact cars to motorhomes, using the latest infrared measurement technology for precision.
Engine Diagnostics
We utilise Bosch's latest diagnostic equipment for ECU analysis across all vehicle marques. Our technicians interpret fault codes and live data streams to identify mechanical and electronic issues. This service covers engine management systems, transmission control, and hybrid vehicle diagnostics, supported by software updates for improved performance and emissions compliance.
DPF Cleaning
Our specialised DPF cleaning process removes soot buildup from diesel particulate filters. Using thermal regeneration and ultrasonic cleaning methods, we restore filter functionality without disassembly. This service improves engine performance, reduces emissions, and prevents costly component replacement while maintaining compliance with Euro 6 emissions standards.
