MOT Testing
Our MOT testing ensures vehicles meet UK road safety and environmental standards. Conducted by approved testers using official equipment, the process checks critical components including brakes, lights, and emissions systems. Customers receive detailed reports with any advisories or required repairs.
Car Servicing
We perform manufacturer-compliant servicing following recommended schedules. Each service includes comprehensive checks of fluids, filters, and mechanical components, with a printed checklist provided for transparency. Options range from basic to premium packages tailored to vehicle requirements.
Engine Diagnostic
Advanced diagnostic tools identify engine issues through fault code reading. Our technicians interpret data to resolve performance problems, warning lights, or efficiency concerns. The 30-minute initial check provides clear explanations of required repairs and cost estimates.
Car Repairs
From minor fixes to major overhauls, our repairs follow manufacturer specifications. Services cover suspension, transmission, electrical systems, and bodywork. All work includes warranties, with prior authorisation required before commencement to ensure customer control over costs.
Tyres
We supply and fit quality tyres from leading brands, ensuring correct specifications for vehicle type and driving conditions. The service includes wheel alignment checks, balancing, and safety inspections. Emergency tyre changes available with prior quotation.

Found this garage through ClickMechanic. Booked a repair I thought I needed as advised by a different garage. it was picked up from home and when it went to the garage they advised it wasnt needed, which was a pleasant surprise. They sorted out a refund for the work with click mechanic. They were very open and honest. Great customer service and very friendly. Really convenient. Will definitely use again
