What is it?

Our Core Services

One garage for the MOT, the service and whatever the MOT turns up, so you’re not ferrying the car between places.

MOT’s

Class 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7 tests at our DVSA-approved station. If something fails we can usually repair it the same day and retest on site. Book it with car servicing in Hythe and save up to £10.

MOT Test Centre

Servicing

Interim, full and major services to the manufacturer’s schedule, with your service book stamped. We check brakes, tyres and steering as we go and flag anything that would fail your MOT in Hythe.

Vehicle Servicing

Repairs

Suspension to gearbox, brakes to engine, steering and electrical faults. After suspension or steering work we can follow up with wheel alignment in Hythe, so your tyres wear evenly.

Vehicle Repairs

Diagnostics

A knocking noise, a warning light, something that doesn’t feel right. We read the fault codes first, so you pay for the fix and not the guesswork, then carry out the car repairs in Hythe it needs.

Car Diagnostics

Wheel Alignment

Full four-wheel laser alignment for better mpg, slower tyre wear and sharper steering. Worth checking after a pothole, new tyres, or if the steering wheel sits off-centre. We’ll add car diagnostics if there’s a vibration too.

Wheel Alignment

Air Conditioning

Re-gassing, leak testing and repairs on R134a systems, found on most vehicles built before 2017. Air con that blows warm is usually low on gas. Due a service anyway? Add a car air con re-gas.
