MOT Testing
Our DVSA-approved MOT testing centre provides Class 4 vehicle inspections with qualified testers. We offer transparent assessments where customers can observe tests through our viewing area. All MOTs require advance booking due to high demand, and we provide automated reminders for upcoming test dates to maintain vehicle compliance.
Air Conditioning Service
We service vehicle air conditioning systems for both R134A and R1234A refrigerant types. Our technicians use specialist equipment to recharge systems and identify leaks. Regular maintenance ensures optimal cooling performance and prevents costly breakdowns while maintaining cabin air quality through filter replacements.
Vehicle Servicing
From routine oil changes to comprehensive major services, we follow manufacturer guidelines using quality lubricants and parts. Our technicians employ advanced diagnostic tools to identify potential issues before they become major problems. All services include safety checks covering brakes, steering, and suspension components.
Used Car Sales
We offer carefully selected used cars sourced directly from local dealers, avoiding auction stock. Every vehicle receives a full valet, 12-month MOT, and service before sale. Our 3-month in-house warranty provides additional peace of mind, with transparent pricing and vehicle history documentation available.
Brake Services
Our brake specialists handle complete system diagnostics and repairs, including disc and pad replacements, caliper servicing, and ABS diagnostics. We use premium components to restore braking efficiency to manufacturer specifications. All brake work includes post-service performance testing for safety assurance.
