Please note bookings are very limited until the 1st of March due to staff holidays + a massive work load which we are currently working through. Please book well in advance as we are normally 1 to 2 weeks booked up in advance. We hope to resume back to normal on the 1st of March and we appreciate all customers and bookings new and old. Going forward we will only be taking on basic servicing, repairs, maintenance and MOT testing. We will no longer be taking any jobs such as engine changes or rebuilds, diagnostics, electrical work or any other major jobs. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we change direction to continue providing our services as best as we can.

Reminder !!
Please check your MOT expiry dates. All too often we see people forgetting when their mot expires then panicking trying to get an appointment. We are normally booked 1 to 2 weeks in advance so it’s getting increasingly harder to help people out at short notice. Please check your expiry date and set a reminder. Remember you can get your MOT done 1 month before the expiry date and still retain the original expiry date. The same goes for general servicing, tyres, maintenance etc. please note we having a waiting list off around 1 to 2 weeks regardless if it’s just a bulb change or tyre, thank you.
