MOTs & Car Repairs for Selly Oak

Selly Oak is about 2 miles north-east of us, straight down the A38. Bristol Road becomes Bristol Road South and brings you directly to our door in Northfield, usually in around 10 minutes — no turns to worry about if you are new to the area.

A lot of our Selly Oak customers are students at the University of Birmingham or staff at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, and many are running an older, cheaper car and keeping an eye on every pound. We give you a clear price before we start, tell you which advisories genuinely need doing now and which can wait, and never add work you have not agreed.

If you are a student, your first UK MOT can be confusing. The test is £35, it takes around an hour, and if the car fails you get a free retest within 10 working days once the repairs are done. We explain every fail item and advisory in plain English so you know exactly where you stand.

Hospital shift workers need a car they can rely on at 6am or midnight. We look after the basics that cause most breakdowns — batteries, tyres, brakes, cooling systems — and we open on Saturday mornings (09:00-13:00) as well as weekdays, which helps if your rota makes weekday drop-offs tricky.

We carry out MOTs, interim, full and major services, diagnostics, brakes, suspension, exhausts, tyres and alignment, clutches, timing belts and air con, on every make.
