We have over 35 years specialising in tyres, brakes and car servicing. In recent years we have made substantial investments in the latest vehicle computer diagnostics equipment and enlarging our MOT Testing Centre. Our Orpington garage is conveniently located on the A21 south of Bromley, Kent a few minutes from junction 4 of the M25.

MOT Testing Station - Tyres and Exhausts replaced - Vehicle Servicing, Diagnostics and Repairs. Air Conditioning recharged, Advanced Wheel Alignment, Electric & Hybrid cars and more. We are doing all we can to keep you on the road. During this difficult time for us all, the safety of our customers and employees is paramount.
Services
We service most makes and models of cars. The servicing is carried out to the vehicle manufacturer's specification. We install replacement parts matching the quality and specification of the original equipment maintaining the manufacturer's warranty as per Block Exemption Regulations. No additional work will be carried out without authorisation.
Print this voucher and present it when you visit to claim your free clean when you have an A/C Service. Ultrasonic cleansing removes bacteria and associated smells from the air conditioning system. Warrantied for 6 months. The most common problem customers report about there air conditioning systems is 'Its just not getting cold' or 'its not as cold as it was last year'.
We have the latest Bosch, Technomotor, Snap-On and Carman Wi diagnostic equipment to allow us to accurately diagnose and rectify faults from both early systems to Controller Area Network (CAN) equipped vehicles used on current day globally produced cars. We are continuously investing in new equipment and Bosch training to make sure we keep up to date with the latest automotive technology.
Drop the vehicle off during the day or "out- of-hours", we will call when the vehicle has been tested and arrange payment/collection. If your vehicle fails to pass the MOT test we can quote for and carry out any repairs to get your car back on the road. We have an overnight key safe facility available for secure "out-of- hours" "drop-off" and collection.
Incorrect alignment can reduce tyre wear, reduce fuel economy as well as causing handling problems. You should get your alignment checked if you see uneven tyre wear, after driving against a kerb or hitting a pothole, when replacing any major suspension parts and when replacing tyres. Is your car pulling to the left or right or drifting to one side?

Pretty sure this place has been around since before I was born, but I started coming here 3 years ago because the first place I used for an MOT was a rip off and I was told I wouldn't understand because I'm female. So I came here, knowing it had a good reputation after being around so long and I've stuck with them since. My car has needed a fair amount of work but Guy has always explained each part well, why its happened, how urgent it is to fix etc. When I had a long list of stuff on the mot he got me to open the list online so I could see what he was talking about and know it was all legit.

SAVE YOURSELF TIME AND MONEY - AVOID AT ALL COST OR GET THEIR WORK CHECKED OUT ELSEWHERE AFTERWARDS JUST IN CASE THEY MESSED IT UP. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A WOMAN.
RUN BY A RUDE, DISRESPECTFUL, CHAUVINIST GUY who also runs the appalling / call it "non existing customer service" phone line.

Guy and the team know their stuff offering a great, friendly, and honest service and good value too. They'll go the extra mile to keep costs down and source difficult to obtain parts. Used them for years, highly recommended. You can't beat a local trustworthy garage which is usually so hard to find.

So impressed with these guys I had to write a first ever review. Great team, efficient and a reasonable price. Found and fixed a wiring problem in a few hours that three other garages could not find or fix previously.
Thank you Guy and your team.
