Services
Car Servicing
We provide comprehensive servicing for all car makes including electric and hybrid vehicles. Our technicians follow manufacturer guidelines using premium parts from brands like ZF Gearboxes and Mann Filters. With IMI-qualified staff and dealer-level diagnostics, services include safety checks, fluid changes, and computerised inspections to maintain vehicle performance and warranty validity.
MOT Testing
Our Class 4 and Class 7 MOT tests use two automated lanes for fast, accurate assessments. Technicians identify potential issues before failures occur, with no extra charge for minor repairs during testing. We offer free re-tests for repairs completed at our garage, and our waiting area includes refreshments and Wi-Fi during the 45-minute process.
DPF Cleaning
As DPF Doctor network members, we use specialist equipment for complete diesel particulate filter cleaning. Our process restores fuel efficiency and prevents costly replacements through ultrasonic cleaning and flow testing. Services include ECU diagnostics, forced regenerations, and advice on preventing future blockages through driving habits.
Wheel Alignment
Our 3D camera alignment system ensures precise calibration for improved fuel economy and tyre longevity. We check toe-in/toe-out, camber, and caster angles, adjusting to manufacturer specifications for safety and performance. The process includes wear pattern analysis and lifetime adjustment checks for customers.
Tyre Supply
We stock major brands including Pirelli, Michelin, and Continental across budget and premium options. Services include free pressure checks, wear assessments, and 4-wheel alignment matching. Our fitting process follows safety protocols with torque wrenches for wheel nuts, and we offer part-exchange for old tyres.
