Our fully licensed MoT test lane uses the latest equipment, giving us the ability to test all makes and models of petrol and diesel cars, as well as light commercial vehicles. The equipment and software used ensures your vehicle complies with the 2018 changes in the MoT regulations.
Brakes / Shock Absorbers
We provide a comprehensive range of brake work, including the checking of the braking system, cleaning and the replacement of any necessary parts. This can either be incorporated in a routine service or as a specific check. Brake parts are critical for stopping the vehicle and are essential to keep in good serviceable order, not only for obvious safety reasons, but for the MoT Test too.

Come in for a check - we can test, repair or replace car exhausts. An under-performing or broken exhaust system can result in reduced efficiency and increased emissions, poor exhaust systems can also effect the over-all engine performance.

We'll make sure that your clutch is in excellent condition so that you can enjoy a hassle-free driving experience.
