MOT failure repairs

Failing an MOT is a pain when you rely on your car every day. Send us a photo of your failure sheet and we will price up each item on it. Once the work is done, your car is ready for its retest.

We don't carry out MOT tests on site. We work with a nearby test centre, so we can take your car for its MOT and handle any repairs in between.

Common MOT failure items we repair include:

Minor service

Oil and filter change, fluid top ups and checks on the main safety items.

Major service

Everything in the minor service, plus more filters, a wider set of checks and the parts your manufacturer's schedule calls for.

Brake repairs

We carry out brake checks, pads, discs and full brake replacement, including brake pipe changes. Book a check if you notice any of these:

Suspension repairs

Knocks over bumps, uneven tyre wear or a car that wanders on the road can all point to worn suspension. We find the cause and replace springs, shock absorbers, arms and bushes as needed.

Exhaust repairs

A blowing or rattling exhaust is noisy and can fail an MOT on emissions. We repair and replace exhaust sections, brackets and mountings.

Wheel bearings

A humming or grinding noise that gets louder with speed is often a worn wheel bearing. We confirm the fault and replace the bearing.

Diagnostics and warning lights

An engine management light, ABS light or other dashboard warning means your vehicle has logged a fault. We plug in our diagnostic equipment, read the fault codes and find the actual cause, rather than just clearing the light.

Car electrical repairs

Flat batteries, charging faults, failed lights and wiring problems can be hard to pin down. We trace electrical faults and fix them.

Bodywork

Our workshop handles bodywork alongside mechanical repairs, so you don't need to take your car to two places.

Carreg and Lee are both qualified light vehicle mechanics. Most parts we fit come with a 12 month warranty, and our labour is guaranteed for three months.
