MOT Testing
We provide DVSA-approved MOT testing for Class 4 vehicles (cars and vans) and Class 7 vehicles (light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes). Our transparent process allows customers to observe the inspection via a viewing platform. Tests include comprehensive checks of brakes, lights, emissions, and safety components, with clear feedback to help you maintain roadworthiness.
Car Servicing
Our services include interim and full servicing tailored to manufacturer guidelines. Interim services cover oil/filter changes and essential safety checks, while full services add brake inspections, fluid top-ups, and component replacements. All work uses quality parts and includes a post-service road test to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Brake Repairs
We diagnose and repair all brake-related issues, including pad replacements, disc resurfacing, and hydraulic system repairs. Our technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to identify wear or malfunctions, ensuring your vehicle meets safety standards. Services include brake fluid checks and ABS system diagnostics to maintain stopping power and compliance.
Exhaust Replacement
Our exhaust services cover repairs and replacements for all vehicle types. We address leaks, corrosion, and catalytic converter issues to reduce emissions and noise. Using high-quality components, we ensure systems meet environmental regulations while improving fuel efficiency and engine performance through proper exhaust flow management.
Clutch Installation
We specialise in clutch diagnostics and replacements for manual vehicles. Our process includes inspecting hydraulic systems, flywheels, and pressure plates to identify wear. Installations use durable components to restore smooth gear changes and prevent transmission damage, backed by a warranty on parts and labour for customer confidence.
