Services
Servicing
Our professional car and van servicing ensures vehicles remain in optimal condition. Using manufacturer specifications and genuine parts, we perform oil changes, brake inspections, and comprehensive checks to prevent costly repairs. Regular servicing extends vehicle lifespan and maintains performance, with tailored options for personal and commercial use. Our technicians follow strict protocols to uphold warranty compliance and safety standards.
Repairs
From minor fixes to major overhauls, our repair services address engine, clutch, brake, and exhaust system issues. Advanced diagnostics identify problems early, while skilled technicians use quality components for lasting solutions. We prioritise transparency, providing upfront estimates and clear explanations of required work to ensure customer confidence and vehicle reliability.
MOTs
DVSA-approved MOT testing ensures vehicles meet legal safety and environmental standards. Partnering with a trusted third-party provider, we manage the entire process, including pre-test inspections and necessary repairs. Our team keeps customers informed at every stage, minimising downtime and ensuring compliance with UK regulations for hassle-free certification.
Automatic Gearbox Flushing
This procedure removes contaminated fluid from automatic gearboxes, replacing it with fresh fluid to restore performance. Using specialist equipment, we clean internal components to prevent wear, improve fuel efficiency, and extend transmission lifespan. Regular flushing, as recommended by manufacturers, avoids costly failures and maintains smooth operation for long-term reliability.
Air Conditioning Recharge
Recharging low refrigerant levels restores air conditioning efficiency, ensuring effective cooling and demisting. Our process includes leak detection, vacuum testing, and precise gas refills to manufacturer specifications. Maintaining a functional AC system enhances comfort, safety, and interior air quality year-round, with repairs addressing seals, hoses, or compressor issues as needed.

Report
I trust Mereworth. Services and MOTs have been reliable and trouble-free. Last year they called me back in (with no charge) to fix a minor but persistent electrical gremlin - a warning light was coming on, although nothing was actually wrong. Recently they checked over a newly-bought car for me. While replacing the clutch under the seller's guarantee, they spotted that the track control arms were worn, and offered to replace them while everything was dismantled - thus saving another visit and about 200 in labour charges.

My Honda was giving me some 'Help me!' message and so I called Simon at Mereworth Motors. He arranged a courtesy car (a small fee per day) to be dropped off by Bob and my car was taken in for examination. Everything was sorted out and I collected my car a few days later. I use Mereworth Motors for services, the MOT and any issues with my car. I recommend the company without hesitation.

I have just had my Audi Q3 serviced and Motd and am so impressed by the care and attention they give. My car was collected from home and brought back and the work carried out was really thorough. I will definitely continue to use Mereworth Motors. Impeccable service and good value too.

I'll happily recommend Mereworth Motors to anyone . I'm so not savvy with cars- they make it an easy process. Great communication, informative, obviously do a good job and I always feel their service is nothing but friendly and polite. Oh and to be offered a lift home or have my car driven back is a golden. Thanks guys. My little i10 is back driving smooth.
