Services
Established in 2004 by Dean Larkins, Larkins Automotive Services have progressed from a mobile mechanic to now being located permanently in Sittingbourne, in our fully equipped workshop. We provide an honest, reliable service to the general public at a competitive price. From MOT's and Servicing to repairs and aircon regas we offer a range of vehicle services.
If you drive a vehicle over three years old, you are required by law to keep it in a safe, road worthy condition. MOT tests simply assesses whether or not your car, van or 44 meets the minimum road safety and environmental standard. Vehicles that do not pass their MOT test are not eligible to be driven on the UK's roads and failure to have your vehicle MOT tested may result in a fine.
Did you know that an air conditioning service is not included in your vehicle's annual service? More than 10% of the air con gas releases from the system naturally every year. This loss of gas will prevent the system from performing to its maximum and may even stop working completely. It is recommended by the manufactures that an air conditioning service is performed at least every 2 years.
Your vehicle's braking system is of paramount importance. You never know what's around the corner and when you might need to stop quickly and safely. For this reason, it is essential to have your braking system checked regularly by a professional.

Our full brake inspection examines the condition of all your car brakes and its components, such as brake pads and discs, to keep you safe - our main priority - and to help prevent more costly repair bills in the future.If you are unsure about the state of your brakes, book a brake check today. We will check all aspects of your braking system to identify any issues.
The average life expectancy of a car battery is often 5 to 7 years. You can prolong the life of your battery by switching off your head lights (before you switch your engine off), by avoiding unnecessary use of rear windscreen demister, radio, CD player, heated seats, charging points, etc., especially on short journeys, as this does not give the battery a sufficient charge to replenish what you're using.

Dean and his assistant did a very good job of replacing the back Axel in my D max .
They quoted me worst case cost but only charged me for the time spent which was very honourable and reduced the bill by 40% nice to deal with good old fashioned professionalism.
