MOT Testing
MOT testing ensures your vehicle meets UK road safety and environmental standards. We handle class 4 and 7 MOTs for all engine types, with pricing starting at 39.00. Our certified testers conduct thorough inspections to avoid legal penalties and ensure insurance validity. Regular MOTs complement scheduled servicing, which offers deeper mechanical assessments.
Vehicle Servicing
We offer standard and complete services tailored to your vehicle's needs. Prices start at 99.00 for standard services and 179.00 for complete services. Our mechanics use OEM-quality parts and synthetic oils, with warranties covering up to 12,000 miles. Services align with manufacturers' specifications to maintain performance and longevity.
Air Con Re-gas
Air con systems lose efficiency without regular re-gassing. We offer re-gas services from 59.00 for older models and 119.00 for 2017+ vehicles. Our process removes bacteria and odours, improving comfort and health safety. We also provide anti-bacterial treatments and system checks for lasting performance.
Tyre Fitting
Tyre fitting services ensure safety and compliance with UK tread depth laws. Our technicians check pressures, tread depth, and wear patterns, offering replacements at competitive prices. We advise against under-inflation to prevent premature wear, with legal tread depth maintained above 1.6mm to avoid fines and penalties.
Brake Checks
Free brake checks identify wear on pads, discs, and fluid levels. Our inspections during MOTs and services ensure braking efficiency meets regulatory standards. Issues like grinding noises or reduced stopping power prompt immediate attention to prevent costly repairs and maintain road safety.
Questions
What does an MOT test include?
An MOT tests vehicle safety, emissions, and roadworthiness. It covers brakes, lights, tyres, and exhaust systems. Our Guildford centre performs class 4 and 7 MOTs starting at £39.00.
How much does a car service cost?
Standard services start at £99.00, while complete services begin at £179.00. Prices vary by engine size, with discounts available for combined MOT and service bookings.
Can I spread repair costs over time?
Yes. Our Payment Assist plan lets you pay for repairs over 4 months, interest-free. This option applies to MOT failures, cam belts, tyres, and emergency repairs.
Why is air con servicing important?
Regular re-gassing maintains cooling efficiency and prevents bacterial growth. We offer AC services from £59.00, including leak detection and anti-bacterial treatments.
What are the risks of driving with worn tyres?
Worn tyres reduce grip, increase stopping distances, and risk £2,500 fines. Our Guildford team checks tread depth during services and recommends replacements at 3mm for safety.

The worst service I've ever experienced. They will fail your car on purpose on the things which are fine when you leaving the car with them, but hard to prove. I took my car to them for an MOT and service. I was sure that car was fine and ready for MOT. I've asked them to do the service first and inform me if they will find that there is something that have to be done before MOT. They failed our car anyway as according to them one bulb wasn't working. How strange everything was fine when I drove to them, I wouldn't go for MOT with not working light. I've checked everything a few times before

I have booked full service and MOT and ask them to not conduct MOT just to fail it if they'll see anything obvious during the service. They still failed me on the light bulb, just to them pass me at the same time after I agreed for the sake of it for them to change the light bulb. What is the point in this? They've lost me and my family as their customers after quite a few years of using them, as we don't like this kind of nonsense.

First and last time I ever use motormech
My car went in for a cambelt and water pump change first of all they said that euro car part delivered the wrong water pump so had to wait a day for them to send the right one even though it is across the road
so they kept the car from Tuesday night and had it wensday and Thursday Thursday come and I had a phone call from the office saying my car would be ready to collect so if I wanted to make my ways down as I got to the garage the car was still in the air light out wheel off plastics everywhere so I said to the lady behind desk my car dont look ready

I have used Motormech for a number of years but will never do so again. Car booked in all day for major service and MOT. Car failed MOT. Fine... but the point of having the car all day is to be able to call me discuss and hopefully fix what are pretty straighforward repairs before MOT. Not happy with what they did do or charged and wasnt convinced with price quoted for repairs so booked in elsewhere for less than half the price. Since Steve sold up, this garage doesn't have the same level of customer service quality it once had. Says they are part of the Good Garage Scheme on the building and website

I have used motormech a few times now and everytime I have found that the service provided goes above and beyond. It takes a while to find a mechanic you can trust and Barry is now the mechanic I trust. Honest, trust worthy and customer focused, Barry and the team will exceed expectations. The pick up and drop off service is an amazing help too. Clear communication and timely pick up and drop off meant my week could remain on track without having to worry about alternative transport. Welldone Motormech! A service to be proud of.
