Servicing, repairs & MOTs under one roof.

Not sure what you need?

Most people arrive knowing what the car is doing, not what to call it. Find the closest and it will take you to the right page:

• Squealing, grinding, or a pedal that feels soft or long — brakes
• Judder through the pedal or the wheel as you slow down — brakes, or wheel alignment if it is there all the time
• Revs rise but the car does not pull, or it is getting hard to select a gear — clutch
• A warning light on the dashboard — diagnostics, and our warning light guide if you want to know how urgent it looks
• Louder than it used to be, or a rattle from underneath — exhaust
• Slow to turn over on a cold morning, or stop-start has given up — battery
• Pulling to one side, a steering wheel that sits off-centre, or tyres wearing on one edge — tracking and alignment
• Low tread, a bulge, or a slow puncture — tyres
• Due by mileage or by date, or the service light is on — servicing
• MOT due, or it has just failed on something — MOT
• It is a motorbike, scooter or moped — bikes and scooters: MOT, servicing, tyres and repairs
• Due by the manufacturer's interval, or no record that it has ever been done — timing belt
• A noise, a leak or a fault you cannot place — repairs, and we will find it first
• Dents, scrapes, paint or an insurance job — bodywork
• It is a van, a pickup or a fleet — vans and fleets

Service, MOT or repair?

These three get mixed up constantly, and it costs people money.

A MOT is a legal test against a fixed standard, on one day. It tells you the vehicle met the minimum that morning. It is not a health check and it does not tell you what is about to wear out.

A service is preventative maintenance to the manufacturer's schedule — oil, filters, fluids and inspections. It is what stops things failing. A car can pass its MOT and still be badly overdue a service.

A repair is fixing something that has already gone wrong. Most people find out they need one from an MOT failure, a warning light or a noise.

Booking an MOT and a service together is common and usually the easiest way to do it — the car only goes in once. Mention it when you book.

The same whatever the job

• We find out what is actually wrong before quoting, and quote before starting
• Nothing gets done without your say-so, and you hear about anything we find along the way
• Explained in plain English — what it is, how urgent it is, and what the options are
• All makes and models, and cars, vans and light commercials alike
• Mechanical work at Annfield Road, bodywork at Hawkhill Court, Monday to Saturday 7am to 5pm

If it is easier to show us than describe it, the enquiry form takes up to four photos. A picture of the damage, the warning light or the part usually gets you a more useful answer than a paragraph does.
