Car & EV Servicing & Diagnostics

Honest servicing and diagnostics for cars, hybrids and electric vehicles. From £39 for a pre-MOT check, from £129 for a service.

  • Pre-MOT Roadworthy Check

    £39Best Seller

    We'll look the car over first and tell you what would fail the test. If we spot anything, we can quote to put it right before the actual test.

  • Bi-annual Service

    From £129

    Bi-annual service to keep things in good shape between full services: oil and filter, top-ups, brakes, tyres, lights, screen wash. Suitable for high-mileage drivers and anyone who'd rather spread the cost.

  • Full Service

    From £199

    Annual full service. Everything in the bi-annual service, plus air, fuel and cabin filters, full brake-system check, suspension inspection, anti-freeze and brake-fluid tested, road test, full report.

  • Service & MOT Package

    From £225

    Full service plus the £39 MOT bundled for £225 — cheaper than booking them separately. Mention it when you book and we'll sort it.

  • Repairs & Diagnostics

    From £80

    Manufacturer-grade diagnostic tools across all major brands, including EVs and hybrids. We'll find the fault, tell you what it'd cost to fix, and you decide.

  • DPF Clean

    From £300

    Diesel particulate filter clean to clear soot blockages and restore performance and economy — far cheaper than fitting a new DPF.

  • EV-specific Work

    On request

    HEVRA-certified for high-voltage. Brakes, tyres, suspension, battery health and charging-issue diagnostics — plus all the usual mechanical work, with no awkward third-party hand-offs.

Engine oil & filter change — price by engine size

Includes the oil and a new filter. The starting price depends on engine size and oil grade — we'll confirm before any work.

FAQ

Common questions

How often should I service my car?

For most cars, a bi-annual service and a full service once a year keeps things ticking over. If you do high mileage we'd lean toward servicing more often. Manufacturer schedules vary — happy to tell you what we'd recommend for your car if you ring with the reg.

What's the difference between a bi-annual and full service?

A bi-annual service covers the wear-and-tear basics — oil, filter, top-ups, brakes and tyres checked, lights and screen wash. A full service is everything in the bi-annual plus the air / fuel / cabin filters, full brake-system check, suspension inspection, anti-freeze and brake-fluid tested, road test and a written report.

Do you use genuine parts?

Where genuine parts are needed, yes. Where a quality OE-equivalent will do the job for less, we'll offer that as a choice. Either way, we'll tell you what we're fitting and why.

Can you service my EV?

Yes. We're HEVRA-certified, so high-voltage work is covered. Battery health, charging system, motor and inverter diagnostics — and all the usual mechanical things that an EV still has (tyres, brakes, suspension, cabin filter, wipers).

Do you sell tyres?

Yes — we supply and fit tyres for all makes, and we can often get them the same day. Ring with the reg and we'll come back with options and prices.
