Garage services you can book

MOT testing

Class 4 MOTs for cars and vans, free or discounted retests, and advisories explained in plain English before any work is agreed.

Servicing

Interim, full and major services with oil and filter changes, fluid top-ups and a service stamp that protects your warranty.

Diagnostics

OBD fault-code reads, warning lights, misfires and electrical faults located with dealer-level kit, quoted before anything is replaced.

Brakes, clutch & suspension

Pads, discs, clutch kits, shocks, springs and wheel bearings — the everyday wear items that keep a car safe and quiet.

Batteries & electrics

Battery testing and replacement, alternators, starters, spark plugs and charging faults diagnosed while you wait.

Mobile mechanics

Servicing, diagnostics, batteries and brakes carried out at your home or workplace — no drop-off, no courtesy car needed.

How it works

Describe the job

Post or message with your registration and the symptoms — noise, warning light, due date — so the garage can quote properly.

Compare garages

Weigh up distance, prices, reviews and whether they offer courtesy cars, collection or a mobile visit.

Book your slot

Agree a time and drop the car in, or arrange for the mechanic to come to you at home or work.

Approve before work

Any additional work is quoted for your approval first, and finished jobs come with a warranty on parts and labour.

Common questions

Do I have to use a main dealer to keep my warranty?

No. UK consumer law means you can have your vehicle serviced anywhere as long as quality parts and correct procedures are used — an independent garage's stamp doesn't void your manufacturer's warranty.

How much does an MOT cost?

The DVSA maximum for a car is £54.85, and many garages charge less or include a free retest if the work is carried out with them. Compare quotes on the listing before you book.

How often should I service my car?

Usually every 12 months or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first — check your handbook, as some long-life schedules run to two years. Interim services suit high-mileage drivers.

Can a mobile mechanic carry out my MOT?

MOTs must be carried out at an approved testing site, but mobile mechanics can handle the servicing, repairs and diagnostics around it at your address.
