MOT Testing
We provide comprehensive MOT testing for cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles. Our VOSA-approved testers use modern equipment to ensure compliance with safety and environmental standards. Customers receive detailed defect reports with clear explanations and can choose between waiting, leaving their vehicle, or observing the test.
Car Servicing
Our servicing covers all makes and models according to manufacturer specifications. We use genuine parts for warranty-maintaining services and high-quality aftermarket components where appropriate. Regular servicing helps prevent breakdowns and extends vehicle lifespan through systematic checks of critical components.
Tyre Fitting
We stock premium and budget tyres from leading brands including Michelin, Dunlop, and Goodyear. Our service includes free valve replacement, balancing, and disposal. Technicians check tread depth, pressure, and alignment during fitting to ensure optimal safety and performance.
Brake Repairs
Our brake services include diagnostics, pad replacement, and ABS system checks using OE-quality parts. Technicians perform comprehensive inspections to identify wear patterns and fluid leaks. We provide detailed explanations of required repairs and safety implications.
Diagnostics
Using Snap-On diagnostic equipment, we identify engine management and electrical system faults. Our checks reveal hidden issues through error code analysis and component testing. We provide free no-obligation quotes for required repairs following diagnostic reports.

Better garages about that are much friendlier, cheaper and dont turn away easy jobs. The old woman on reception is very rude with an attitude.
