MOT Testing
Henlow Motor Services facilitates MOT testing with pre-test inspections and necessary repairs. Our technicians identify potential issues before official testing to improve pass rates. We offer convenient collection/delivery between 8-10am for MOT bookings. While we don't conduct the official test ourselves, we prepare vehicles to meet DVSA standards through comprehensive checks and corrective work.
Car Servicing
We provide three service levels - Interim, Full, and Major - tailored to driving patterns and vehicle age. Our manufacturer-compliant servicing maintains warranties using OE parts and proper documentation. Services include safety checks on brakes, suspension, and electrical systems. Regular maintenance improves reliability, fuel efficiency, and resale value while preventing costly breakdowns through early issue detection.
Tyre Fitting
Our tyre services cover 13-26" sizes from premium brands like Michelin to budget options. We offer puncture repairs, TPMS sensor replacement, and tyre pressure management. Technicians check tread depth, sidewall condition, and age (recommending replacement after five years). We fit homologated tyres approved by vehicle manufacturers for optimal performance and safety characteristics.
Diagnostics
Using the X-431 Euro Tab 3 diagnostic system, we identify issues across 100+ vehicle systems including engine management, ABS, and airbag systems. Our equipment supports CANFD, DoIP protocols and ADAS calibration. We interpret ECU fault codes, perform component tests, and offer guided diagnostics to resolve complex electrical and mechanical problems efficiently.
Aircon Repairs
We service both R134a and R1234YF air conditioning systems with full regas procedures. Our packages include bacterial removal treatments and pollen filter replacement to maintain cabin air quality. Technicians check refrigerant levels, compressor operation, and system integrity. Regular servicing prevents efficiency loss, reduces fuel consumption, and eliminates health risks from contaminated systems.
Questions
Can I book an MOT without prior vehicle inspection?
While we recommend pre-test checks, we can arrange MOT testing directly. However, unprepared vehicles risk failure and retest costs.
Do you service electric and hybrid vehicles?
Yes, our technicians are trained to service all modern vehicle types including electric and hybrid models.
Are your prices inclusive of parts and labour?
Most quotes include both parts and labour, though specific components like premium tyres may incur additional costs.
How long does a full service take?
Our full service typically takes 2-3 hours depending on vehicle complexity and workshop capacity.
Do you offer warranty on replacement parts?
We provide standard warranties on all parts fitted, with durations varying by component type and supplier terms.

Fiesta electronics lit up like a Christmas tree, intermittent cutout. Sounded like major problem, but Reg did full diagnosis and despite a shopping list readout of faults, traced the actual problem to dodgy wiring, cleaned it up and it's now running perfectly, at a total cost less than dealers quote just for diagnostic check! Am well pleased, thoroughly recommend this garage for quality of work and service.

This was probably the best service I've ever received at a garage (or anywhere really). We had a flat and immediately they took it to diagnose the issue and fixed it all within 15 mins with it back on my car (it was a faulty valve so didn't require a new tyre), the spare back in the boot and the car turned around ready to drive out too. The hospitality was incredible the guys were extremely friendly and chatty (we were offered drinks multiple times). This is the very definition of 5 star service - the only shame is that this isn't my local garage as we don't live near there and were only passing
