MOTs

MOT testing is carried out in our authorised testing facility by fully trained and certified testers. We test class 4 vehicles: cars and light vans.

Every test covers seven areas, from lighting and brakes to exhaust, fuel and emissions, and the pass or fail decision is made by the tester, strictly following the official guidelines.

Tyres at Tyre & Auto

Tyres

Our garage keeps a comprehensive stock of tyre brands in a range of sizes and for different road surfaces and terrain, for cars and light commercial vehicles.

Choosing the right tyres matters for how your vehicle handles. They need to be inflated to the correct pressure and properly balanced to the manufacturer's recommendations, so they give you the most comfort, control and reliability.

There are plenty of factors to weigh up when replacing tyres, and the right choice can mean less road noise and better handling. If you are unsure, we are happy to advise on the condition of your current tyres and the ones best suited to your vehicle and the way you drive.

Exhausts at Tyre & Auto

Exhausts

A well maintained exhaust should be fitted securely, work efficiently and not produce excessive harmful emissions or noise.

Our knowledgeable staff can give your exhaust system a thorough check and tell you whether it can be repaired or needs replacing.

Batteries at Tyre & Auto

Batteries

We supply batteries for many types of vehicle, including cars, motorbikes, caravans and tractors. We can charge and test your existing battery, or replace it with a new one covered by up to 3 years manufacturer's warranty.

To protect the environment, batteries that can no longer be used are handed over for recycling. Batteries contain heavy metals and toxic chemicals that can contaminate soil and water if dumped, and lead-acid car batteries are among the most readily recycled.

Diagnostics

Using modern, calibrated and certificated Bradbury and Snap-on diagnostic equipment and software, we read the data from your vehicle's on-board diagnostics.

Modern on-board diagnostics use a standardised digital port that provides real-time data and a standard series of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). That helps our technicians identify and fix faults quickly.
