We don't just do MOTs!

So what else do we do?

Our Colchester mechanics are fully skilled in all aspects of car repair, car servicing and maintenance, tyres, wheel balancing, brakes - even hydrogen carbon cleaning and we have a dedicated MOT tester with an allocated ramp, so we can fit your MOT test in whenever you need it. You can even book your MOT online on our website in just a couple of minutes! Click the green 'Book an MOT' button at the top of the page to book your MOT online.

MOT Test

We have a dedicated ramp and tester for all day MOT tests + evenings up to midnight Monday to Friday and you can book online at a time to suit you.

We take MOT bookings up to 12 months before they are due to ensure yours is done in time.


Clutch

We are agents for Colchester Clutch and can replace the clutch in any car. The clutch is an important component which disengages the gearbox from the engine to make changing gear possible. If worn and not replaced it can cause other problems and expensive repair bills.

Repair

Our qualified mechanics can repair all minor and major problems on all cars, from replacing the brakes to replacing the engine

Brakes

We can fit new disk/drum brakes and pads/shoes to all makes and models to ensure your car stops as it should and passes the MOT.

Servicing

We can do minor and major servicing for all makes and models. Servicing includes oil and filter change, air filter change, pollen (cabin) filter change, brake check, fluids check, spark plug replace, tyre check etc

Tyres / Wheel balancing

We can fit any tyres to any car and balance your wheels to ensure smooth, comfortable running.
Your tyres (including your spare tyre) should all have a legal minimum of 1.6mm of tread and be in good condition.

Carbon Cleaning

A clogged engine will be both costly to run (increased fuel consumption) and potentially costly to repair when the clogged parts fail.
