Car Repairs, MOTs and Cambelt Replacement in Crawley | Reasons to Choose an Independent Garage
If you use a dealership or a national garage for car servicing, car repairs or a MOT testing service, the chances are that you are paying more for the work involved than you would at an independent garage. Crawley MOT Centre has independent status but what we don’t have is the expensive overheads of our larger competitors, nor do we have tie-ins with specific suppliers. This means that the savings we make as a business pass down to customers.
From Class IV MOTs to MOT repairs, and from scheduled maintenance to your next cambelt replacement, we can offer many cost-saving opportunities.
Because we are based in the Crawley area and have a central location, we can help motorists in all surrounding Surrey and Sussex areas to maintain or repair their vehicles in a simple, hassle-free manner where the customer will never need to pay more to compensate for things like unpaid warranty work.
Car Servicing
Booking in for full or interim car servicing with Crawley MOT Centre gives you access to the same services you would get from a dealership thanks to the block exemption regulations. These allow you to choose the workshop you wish to use without having to worry about invalidating existing warranties.
We follow the same car servicing schedules as local dealerships by adhering to the manufacturer specification, thus keeping your warranties intact.
Car Repairs
Our workshop in Crawley is equally meticulous with car repairs and, as well as working to manufacturer specifications, we always allow customers to have an original part fitted if that is what they prefer. Even if you choose to use an aftermarket component for a replacement, it will still meet OEM criteria.
Crawley MOT Centre can offer an equivalent guarantee on car repairs with all parts and labour being back for 12 months or for up to 12,000 miles.
MOT Testing
While the standards applied to Class IV MOTs are the same a dealership or a fast fit centre would use, it is important to know that MOT testing prices come direct from the DVSA. Larger companies in Crawley will charge the full price but we undertake inspections at discounted rates and allow you to “bundle”.
This means that you can combine MOT testing with full or interim car servicing as part of a package to benefit from an inclusive and affordable price.
Our garage will also undertake MOT repairs and can re-test for free.
Cambelt Replacement
At Crawley MOT Centre, we cannot stress the importance of booking in for a cambelt replacement enough. If a cambelt breaks, it could cause damage to the valves and other moving parts. This could result in you facing a hefty bill for car repairs and may leave you without a vehicle for as long as several weeks.
If your car needs a cambelt replacement, we can still use the same tooling as a dealership to ensure everything is synchronised and running correctly.

You are not obliged to use a dealership for servicing, repairs or MOTs and can choose your own preferred workshop to care for your car. Making the switch to an independent garage is a choice that not only protects your pocket, but it also supports a local business that is part of the same local economy.
