Questions about this service
Do you issue the official MOT certificate yourself?
We carry out the full pre-inspection and rectification work, then present your car to our trusted local MOT testing bay.
What is the most common reason cars fail their MOT?
Simple things like blown indicator bulbs, split windscreen wipers, and excessively worn tyre treads cause many failures.
Can you weld rusted sills or chassis sections if needed?
Yes, we handle structural rust repairs to meet DVSA standards before the car is officially inspected.
Our workmanship pledge
Every mechanical repair we complete comes with a twelve-month or twelve-thousand-mile warranty on labour and new components. If something does not feel right after you collect your vehicle, bring it back and we will inspect it without fuss. Pricing & payment

What local drivers say
Brought my estate car in for a major service and front brake replacement. The pedal feel is clean and firm, the bill matched the quote to the penny, and Martin took the time to show me the old discs.
David M., Bristol, GBNo dealership nonsense or upselling. They diagnosed a stubborn suspension knock that another garage missed, fixed the link rod, and had the car ready by three in the afternoon.
Sarah H., Bath, GBBooked in for fluid renewals and brake pads. Everything was completed on time, settled easily by bank transfer at the desk, and the engine feels noticeably smoother on the commute.
