Services
MOT Service
We conduct comprehensive MOT tests to ensure your vehicle meets UK legal standards. Our certified technicians inspect critical components including brakes, tyres, emissions, and lighting systems. The test identifies potential safety issues while providing clear guidance on necessary repairs or adjustments to maintain roadworthiness.
Vehicle Service
Our servicing options include essential care, interim, and full services tailored to your vehicle's mileage and age. Using manufacturer guidelines, we replace fluids, filters, and worn components to maintain performance, fuel efficiency, and resale value while preventing unexpected breakdowns.
Diagnostic Service
Advanced diagnostic equipment identifies engine and system faults through onboard computer analysis. Our technicians interpret error codes and perform manual checks to resolve check engine light warnings, performance issues, and electrical malfunctions with precision and efficiency.
Vehicle Repairs
We repair all major vehicle components including exhaust systems, brakes, clutches, and suspension. Our mechanics handle both routine maintenance and complex repairs using quality parts to restore functionality and ensure long-term reliability for petrol and diesel vehicles.
Tyre Services
We supply and fit premium tyres for all vehicle types, ensuring correct specifications for safety and performance. Our services include tyre pressure checks, tread depth inspections, and wheel alignment adjustments to optimise handling and fuel economy.
Questions
What does an MOT test include?
An MOT test checks critical vehicle components including brakes, tyres, lights, emissions, and steering. It ensures your car meets UK road safety and environmental standards but doesn't cover general mechanical condition.
How often should I service my car?
We recommend a full service annually or every 12,000 miles. Interim services every six months or 6,000 miles help maintain performance and identify potential issues early, enhancing safety and reliability.
Do you provide diagnostics for check engine light warnings?
Yes, our advanced diagnostic tools identify fault codes from your vehicle's ECU. Our technicians then perform manual checks to determine the root cause of warning lights, providing clear explanations and repair options.
Can you repair all vehicle makes and models?
Our qualified mechanics work on all petrol and diesel vehicles, including manufacturer-specific servicing using official schedules. We handle everything from routine maintenance to complex mechanical repairs for private and commercial clients.
What are your opening hours?
We're open Monday to Friday 08:30-17:00 and Saturday 09:00-13:00. Appointments can be booked online or by calling our Edinburgh garage directly for your convenience.

I went to McGregor to change my brake pads and headlamps. They were recommended to me by a friend and I am so happy he did so. I have finally found a garage I can trust; the guys are honest, professional and friendly. Their prices are competitive and quality of work top notch! Really recommend them...
