MOT Testing
Quainton Garage conducts official MOT testing for petrol and diesel vehicles over three years old. Our licensed technicians perform comprehensive safety and emissions checks to DVSA standards. The process includes brake efficiency assessment, lighting functionality verification, and exhaust system evaluation. Customers receive detailed reports and advisory notes on required maintenance to ensure ongoing compliance.
Vehicle Servicing
We offer tailored servicing packages including interim, full, and major services. Our technicians perform oil and filter changes, brake component inspections, and fluid level checks. Services follow manufacturer-recommended schedules to maintain warranty validity. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and extends vehicle lifespan while ensuring optimal performance and fuel efficiency.
Engine Diagnostics
Modern vehicle diagnostics utilise advanced equipment to identify electronic system faults. Our specialists interpret error codes from engine management, ABS, and airbag systems. We perform comprehensive health checks even without warning lights to detect hidden issues. This proactive approach prevents minor problems from developing into major repairs.
Tyre Replacement
We supply and fit tyres for all vehicle types including budget and premium brands. Our service includes tread depth checks to ensure legal compliance and safety. We offer run-flat tyre options and proper balancing after installation. Technicians also check suspension components during tyre replacements to ensure complete wheel assembly safety.

We use genuine parts where required and maintain detailed service records. Emergency repairs prioritise vehicle safety while providing cost-effective solutions for accident damage.
Questions
When is an MOT test legally required?
Vehicles require an MOT test three years after registration, then annually. Driving without a valid MOT can result in fines up to £1,000 and insurance invalidation.
How often should I service my vehicle?
We recommend annual servicing or every 12,000 miles. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns and maintains manufacturer warranties through scheduled component checks.
Do you offer tyre tread depth checks?
Yes, we check tread depths during inspections. Tyres must have at least 1.6mm tread across the central three-quarters of the tyre to meet legal requirements.
Can you perform diagnostic checks without warning lights?
Our comprehensive diagnostics detect issues even without illuminated warning lights. Early detection prevents minor problems from escalating into expensive repairs.
Is pickup and delivery available for repairs?
We provide local pickup and delivery service for customer convenience. This service is particularly beneficial for those without alternative transportation during vehicle servicing.

Critical:Professionalism,Quality,Value
Quoted 700 + VAT. Charged 1300+VAT. Failed to attach drive shaft securely. It fell off and broke other parts. AA said the van could easily have rolled at 70mph. Garage made good with a 2nd hand drive shaft and rude service.

Excellent, reliable and friendly service from a great bunch of people who genuinely care about looking after you and your vehicles. The crew at Quainton Garage have looked after my fairly needy cars for the past 4 years and have always been exemplary.

Given quote for MOT. Ballpark figure 700 + VAT
Went to pay. Over 900 + VAT
Explanation - part cost more than when we last ordered it. Part of job was a little more fiddly than expected. No apology, no phone call to warn about increase in cost.
