Services
MOT Testing
As a DVSA-approved MOT test centre, we conduct comprehensive Class 4 vehicle inspections to ensure compliance with safety and environmental standards. Our process includes checking brakes, lights, tyres, emissions, and structural integrity while providing clear explanations of any required repairs. Customers benefit from free retests within 10 working days when repairs are completed at our garage.
Brake Repairs
We specialise in complete brake system diagnostics and repairs, including pads, discs, callipers, and fluid replacement. Using manufacturer-approved parts, our technicians address issues like unusual noises, vibration, or warning lights while ensuring optimal braking performance. Same-day service is available for most brake component replacements using our extensive parts inventory.
Air Conditioning
Our air conditioning service includes system diagnostics, refrigerant replacement, and leak detection using professional equipment. We recharge systems with new gas every two years to maintain efficiency, addressing common issues like reduced cooling performance and windscreen fogging. This service helps maintain fuel efficiency and cabin comfort throughout seasonal changes.
Car Servicing
We perform interim, full, and major services to manufacturer specifications using original equipment parts. Our technicians follow scheduled maintenance plans to preserve warranties while identifying potential issues during inspections. Combining oil changes with multi-point checks ensures vehicles maintain resale value and operational reliability.
Engine Diagnostics
Using advanced diagnostic tools, we identify engine management system faults through error code analysis. Our technicians interpret diagnostic data to resolve issues affecting performance, emissions, or warning light activations. This service covers fuel systems, ignition components, and sensor malfunctions across petrol and diesel engines.

Had my car breaks done with an mot, breaks didnt feel right and now have had it checked from someone else ans been told they didn't do them right and have forced break fluid into the gear box! Now looking over 1000 to get my car on the road. Not only that! They drove a truck into the car my son was in, when parked in a parking bay. Will never use them again!

New to the area and needed garage services urgently after both our vehicles broke down. Lion Garage came recommended and I now know why having received exceptional levels of customer service from Gillian who sourced the cheapest parts and moved heaven and earth to get one of our vehicles back on the road in just a matter of hours. Big thank you also to the workshop lads for doing the repairs at short notice. With great communication, professionalism and honesty throughout I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lion Garage Services Ltd and suffice to say we will be returning patrons. Thank you.

I have used this garage since moving here 4 years ago. Nothing is a bother they even pick your car up then bring it back to your house. I would certainly recommend them

Had a catastrophic engine failure whilst 250 miles from home. John and his team came to the rescue, got everything sorted including a new engine and dealt with any problems that cropped up. Honest, helpful and all at a reasonable price. Can't recommend this garage highly enough. Thanks
