Not your everyday MOT.

This Ford GT40 came in with just 1,146 miles from new for an MOT and A/C regas.

It passed with no advisories, exactly as it should.

Rare cars still rely on the same fundamentals, carried out with care, attention and the right approach.

A great example of doing things properly.

5 years in our Sydenham garage.

From day one to now, it’s been built on the people who trust us with their cars.

To say thank you to our customers - old and new, we’re offering:

10% off all air con services this June. ❄️

If it’s not as cold as it should be, now’s the time to get it sorted properly before summer.

This didn’t turn out to be a simple misfire.

VW Tiguan came in running rough with poor idle and no power.

Coils and plugs? All fine.

So, we dug deeper.

Found a faulty PCV valve. Replaced it. Still not right.

Ran a smoke test and found pressure escaping near the gearbox.

That led us to the real issue: a blown rear main seal caused by the PCV fault.

Both repaired properly. Engine now running smooth again.

Book a diagnostic check and get to the root of the issue.

This is why overheating isn’t always what it seems.

This Volkswagen came in with intermittent overheating - no obvious coolant loss, nothing major flagged.

The issue?

A small sleeve sitting in the wrong place near the water pump, restricting flow.

While we were there, we replaced the timing belt too, still in decent condition, but not worth the risk.

It’s rarely just about what you see. It’s about knowing where to look.

🔧 Noticed something off? Book in and we’ll diagnose it properly.

A service should do more than just tick a box.

An interim service helps keep your car running smoothly day to day.

A main service goes further, helping prevent bigger problems developing over time.

Before any work is carried out, we’ll explain exactly what your car needs, what’s recommended and what’s optional.

🚗 Interim service from £140 + VAT
🚗 Main service from £250 + VAT

That tyre mark isn’t random. It’s a warning.

Your tyres tell you what’s wrong:

Bulge → immediate risk
Uneven wear → alignment issue
Centre wear → overinflation
Cracks → ageing rubber

Ignore it, and it quickly becomes a safety problem.

Your car carries more than just you.

School runs. Family days out. Everyday life.

On International Day of Families, it’s a reminder of what’s really behind every journey.

That’s why we take the time to check things properly, because safety isn’t just technical, it’s personal.

People don’t stay with a garage for years by chance.

We still service cars we first saw when we opened.

Now it’s entire households… and even their work vans.

That trust comes from doing the job properly every time.

Modern cars need more than basic tools.

Especially EVs.

They require different systems, different checks, and the right equipment to work on them safely.

That’s why we’ve invested in the tools and training to handle newer vehicles properly - not guesswork.

Got a long drive planned? Check your MOT before you set off.

We regularly see cars packed and ready for a trip, only for the driver to realise the MOT is due or has already expired.

It’s a small thing that’s easy to forget, especially this time of year.

Checking the expiry date early gives you time to book in properly and avoid unnecessary stress before travelling.

If yours is coming up, book ahead and travel with confidence.
