Services
Everyone who uses a vehicle on the road must keep it in a roadworthy condition. The MOT test checks that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards. The first MOT test for a car or van is required when it's three years old and then annually thereafter. For mini buses a test is required anually from new.
Maintaining your vehicle is vital if you want to remain on the road. Making sure that your car has a regular service can help save you money in the long run and avoid costly repairs due to a lack of maintenance. Homesdale Motors has experienced staff to carry out repairs and maintenance to any vehicle.
We all hate accidents but sadly they do happen. If you should be involved in an accident it is good to know that Homesdale Motors has the experience to get your car back on the road with full bodyshop facilities at our Bromley site. We are a RAC approved garage. We can provide estimates for insurance companies and all our work is carried out to very high stanadrds.

Just brilliant. Holmesdale Motors have serviced, repaired and MoT'd my mothers car for over 10 years. Now that she is 90 they have offered to collect and return the car for an MOT. They are always so helpful and kind and I totally trust their fairly priced work. Superb good old fashioned service at its best.

Appalling garage. Our Honda broke down last week & RAC told us it was likely the turbo need replacing, plus other connected faults. They advised us to take it to Honda main dealer.
Unwisely, we decided to try Homesdale Road garage. We told them in advance what the problem was, & they said bring it in for a quote.
It took a couple of days but they finally got back to us & told us that it would be over £5K to fix,(Honda had quoted 2K)
It was an old car & not worth £3K so would be foolish to waste £5K+ just to get it running. The guy was very surprised that we weren't interested in wasting money

The staff here have all been super helpful and kind, especially Mark. If had a couple issues with other garages and Homesdale kept my car in as long as needed and the work was done very quickly. Any problems caused by any other garage(s) was picked up on quickly and fixed to perfection. It's great to have my car back in working order! Thank you so much to Mark who has been on the phone and over email to me to help me get things sorted. Honestly the service I got was so good it'd be wrong of me not to leave a 5 star review! Will only be going to them in the future.

This place is amazing. So warm and welcoming. I had a great MOT experience and have been back a few times for help when my tyre pressure notification light kept coming on and the people there are SO friendly and caring. Absolutely love the receptionist- cant remember her name. And Mark - such a lovely guy. I fully recommend

Had an issue with my wheel. They “inspected” the problem and gave me a quote for the repair. I decided that due to the cost it was in my interest to refer the problem to my insurance company but this garage was not recognised by them to conduct the work.
I arranged for the vehicle to be collected from the garage, to be taken to another site and to my disgust i was told i needed to pay an £80 plus VAT (£96) for the inspection / stripping / release cost. I was never informed about this charge prior. When I delivered the car the employee was on the phone and just asked for

I took my car to Homesdale for its MOT. The customer service from start to finish was excellent. Booking over the phone was easy, courteous and efficient. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The MOT test itself was completed thoroughly and professionally and the feedback from the mechanics was clear and helpful. The additional work was explained clearly and carefully before they proceeded. The final bill was very reasonable. Excellent.
I have lived in the area for more than 30 years. This place is easily the best garage I have used. Congratulations to the entire team at Homesdale.

I have had very very good customer service from Homesdale Motors for many years and recently had two cars serviced with Major servicing needs.
Very honest and good value for Money from Richard and Mark who always provide a pleasant customer experience.
I am extremely fussy about which garage looks after my cars and can only highly recommend this team, as i have never had anything but excellent experiences.
