Servicing and repairs

MOT testing

Class 4 and Class 7 MOT tests, carried out on site by DVSA-approved testers, with a free retest within ten working days.

Car servicing

Interim, full and major services to manufacturer schedules, stamped in your book or logged digitally, without invalidating your warranty.

Diagnostics and fault finding

Manufacturer-level diagnostic equipment and the time to use it properly, for warning lights and faults that a code reader will not solve.

• Engine management light on or flashing
• Car goes into limp mode
• Intermittent starting problems

Brakes

Pads, discs, calipers, handbrakes and brake fluid, measured against the manufacturer's wear limits rather than guessed at.

• Squealing or grinding when braking
• Steering wheel or pedal judder under braking
• Car pulls to one side when you brake

Tyres and wheel alignment

Tyres from budget to premium, fitted and balanced, with four-wheel laser alignment to stop the new ones wearing out the same way.

Clutch and transmission

Clutch replacement, dual-mass flywheels, gearbox oil changes and driveshaft work on manual and automatic vehicles.

• Engine revs rise but the car does not accelerate
• Clutch pedal feels high, low, or spongy
• Judder as the clutch bites

Air conditioning

Regas, leak detection and repair for both R134a and R1234yf systems, with the separate equipment each gas legally requires.

• Air is cool but not cold
• Takes a long time to cool down
• Smells musty when first switched on

Cambelts and timing chains

Timing belt, tensioner and water pump replacement at the manufacturer's interval — the one service where being late destroys the engine.

Suspension and steering

Shock absorbers, springs, bushes, ball joints and track rods — the parts that fail quietly and turn into MOT advisories.

• Knocking or clunking over bumps
• Car continues to bounce after a bump
• Uneven tyre wear

Batteries and electrics

Battery testing and replacement including AGM and EFB stop-start types, plus alternator, starter and wiring faults.

• Slow or laboured cranking
• Battery warning light on while driving
• Stop-start has stopped working

Exhausts and emissions

Exhaust repairs, catalytic converters, DPF cleaning and emissions failures, including the diesel tests that catch most people out.

• Blowing or rasping noise from underneath
• DPF warning light on
• Failed the MOT on emissions

Hybrid and electric vehicles

IMI-qualified high-voltage work: servicing, brake systems, coolant, and battery health reports for hybrids and full EVs.
