Richard and his team have been adding the extra onto the ordinary for over thirty years — providing EXTRAORDINARY highly skilled, honest service, advice, communication and support. There is no one I trust more with my car.
Richard explains everything so clearly and thoroughly that even I understand what's going on. It's the first garage I've never had to question.
Excellent garage — trustworthy, helpful and reliable honest service. Very professional and friendly. Couldn't want a better garage.
They had an equipment fault mid-MOT and immediately arranged for another garage nearby to complete it the same day. No other garage I've been to would do that.
A great bunch — I totally trust them. They aren't out to rip people off and have helped me so much. Super friendly service, every single time.
Richard has been servicing my car for over 6 years. Always friendly, great opening times, and they contact you before any extra work. Excellent garage.

Our MOT prices are competitive for SE London — call us on 020 8854 2550 for a current quote. We test classes 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7. If your car fails, we'll explain exactly what needs fixing and give you a written quote before we touch anything. No pressure, no surprises.
Yes — and most SE London garages don't. We're IMI certified for electric and hybrid vehicles, and approved as a Nexdrive EV specialist centre. We handle routine EV servicing, brake fluid changes, tyre and brake work, and high-voltage system diagnostics. If you're not sure whether your car qualifies, just call us.
You're welcome to wait — we have a reception area and we'll keep you updated throughout. For longer jobs like a full service or complex diagnostics, many customers prefer to drop the car off in the morning and collect it later in the day. We'll always give you a realistic time estimate when you book in.
Always. This is one of our core commitments — we never start work we haven't agreed with you first. If we find something unexpected during a service or MOT, we'll call you, explain what we found, show you the worn part if possible, and give you a clear price before we proceed. You decide.
You pay when the work is done — not before. We accept cash, card, BACS transfer, and Apple Pay. We don't ask for a deposit on standard work. For large or specialist parts ordered in advance, we may ask you to cover the parts cost upfront, but we'll always tell you this at the time of booking.
