Services
Welcome to Harding Auto Services, a family run business based in the Knaphill, Woking area since 1979. For more than 30 years, we have been working locally to provide our customers with reliable and professional car servicing at affordable rates. Our expert knowledge and years of experience allows us to offer an extensive range of services, whilst providing the best attention and care to all of our customers and their vehicles.
If your vehicle is more than three years old, you must get an MOT as per the government rules in the UK. The main purpose of an MOT test is to ensure your vehicle meets environmental standards and is safe to be on the roads. If you fail to do so, you are not permitted to drive your car and if caught, you can be prosecuted for driving without a valid MOT certificate.
Regular servicing and maintenance can have financial and safety benefits for your vehicle, it can even increase its lifetime on the roads. Although booking your car in for a service is not a legal requirement like an MOT test, it is still recommended to ensure you are receiving the best performance from your vehicle.
We all tend to take the air conditioning in our cars for granted - until suddenly the windows steam up, or a rather nasty smell invades the car! You should never ignore it and put up with the unpleasant effects of stale air. If it's not working quite the way it should be, you need to do something about it to prevent further problems occurring.
Wheel alignment, also referred to as tracking, ensures the angles of your wheels are correct for the make and model of your car. If your wheels are aligned correctly, your car will perform optimally as the perfect amount of surface area of your tyre will be in contact with the ground. Over time, everyday use can cause your wheel alignment to be slightly out, especially from potholes or any knocks and bumps to your car.

I brought my BMW here a number of times now, so my feedback is based on a cumulative experience, not just one-off. There are standard car services out there - you know, the ones which will try to do a minimum work to "cover" issue symptoms, get paid and move on to a next customer. And there is Mike Harding's one. Who always strives to resolve the problem entirely, not just to cover it up. Who provides a detailed report with empirically proven underlying cause and steps taken to rectify it. Do you want to pay less... but a few times? Choose other service. Do you want to pay a fair price once and

I cannot fault the fantastic team at Harding Auto Services! I needed some major repair work done on my Landrover Defender and they were helpful and kept up communication the entire time (my vehicle was with them for approximately two weeks). When it came to specifing what work needed to be done and the overall cost they were completely transparent so there were no "nasty surprises" when the job was finished. They obviously know what they are doing with classic Landrovers and I will 100% recommend them to anyone!

Booked in for a service and MOT after a good experience the year before.
Sadly this time I was very disappointed- I’m all up for supporting local businesses and paying a little extra to do so but no when the customer service is so poor.
My car failed it’s MOT on what I was told was a bulb inserted the wrong way up (which is surprising seeing as it hasn’t been touched since my previous MOT) and the washers were blocked.
Bulb was corrected by them but the washers were fixed by my rather handy partner. On going for my retest I was then told that there was also a problem with the engine mounting

My car refused to move off the driveway, it seemed the back left brake was stuck on.
I called the AA out who temporarily fixed it and I was advised to get the brake shoes replaced.
The first garage I went to wanted to fix things that weren’t broken and quoted me over £400 for replacing things that didn’t need replacing and to wait 3 days to bring it back after having it the whole day.
My dad told me he used Harding’s for years, so did my grandad, and that I should go there.
They fit me in the same day I went up there and had the job done by 3.30 pm.
They did a check and only replaced

I have used Harding Auto Services twice now, after having been recommended them by family friends. So far both experiences have been very positive.
The first experience was my MOT. They were extremely efficient and I loved the online booking service. When I arrived I was greeted by the friendliest, down to earth lady I've ever encountered at a local garage. I came back at the end of the day, to find the same lovely lady and the keys were handed back to me, alongside an explanation from the lady on reception, as to what advisory notes had been added as a result of the MOT.
