Questions about our services?
Find answers to what customers ask us most about MOT, repairs, and maintenance.
How long does an MOT test take?
An MOT test usually takes 45 minutes to an hour. We'll inspect your brakes, lights, emissions, steering, and other safety-critical systems. You can wait in our reception or come back when it's ready.
What's included in a vehicle inspection?
We check your brakes, fluid levels, battery, belts, hoses, tires, and suspension. Our inspection report shows what's working and what needs attention so you know exactly what to prioritize.
Do you offer emergency brake repairs?
Yes. If your brakes are making noise, pulling, or feeling soft, call us right away. We prioritize safety issues and can often fit you in same day depending on our schedule.
How do I know if my clutch needs replacing?
Clutch replacement typically costs around £400, but the exact price depends on your vehicle. We'll give you a full quote before any work starts, so no surprises.
Can you diagnose a warning light?
Absolutely. Our diagnostic service reads your vehicle's computer and identifies what triggered the warning light. We'll explain what it means and recommend the next steps without pressuring you.
