Services
MOT Testing
We conduct MOT testing for Class IV to Class VII vehicles using calibrated equipment and certified inspectors. Our facility accommodates cars, vans, and commercial vehicles up to tractor unit size. The process includes comprehensive checks of safety, emissions, and mechanical integrity to ensure compliance with UK road standards.
Tyre Sales
Our extensive tyre inventory covers all vehicle types with options for different budgets. Expert fitters perform assessments for wear, pressure, and damage, offering puncture repairs and replacements. We provide professional advice on seasonal tyre choices and maintain stock of premium and budget-friendly brands.
Vehicle Servicing
We offer scheduled servicing and mechanical repairs using modern diagnostic tools. Our technicians address engine performance, brake systems, and electrical diagnostics. The service includes fluid checks, component replacements, and digital fault code analysis to maintain vehicle reliability and warranty compliance.
Wheel Alignment
Our alignment service uses laser-guided equipment to adjust wheel angles to manufacturer specifications. This improves fuel efficiency, extends tyre life, and enhances vehicle handling. We also provide wheel balancing to prevent vibration issues at high speeds.
Brakes & Exhausts
We supply and fit brake pads, discs, and hydraulic components for all vehicle types. Exhaust system services include diagnostics for leaks or damage and replacement of catalytic converters, silencers, or full systems. Both services ensure compliance with emissions standards and road safety regulations.

I had never used this company before. I had a problem with one of my front tyres . I phoned and someone came out straight away. I work shifts and really needed someone to come out quickly. The guy who came out was brilliant. Will certainly go to them again if I need Tyres or Servicing. Thank You
