See All Car ServicesYou can get car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Beckley at Cranbrook Cars: our family garage at The Common, Sissinghurst (TN17 2AF) is about 13 miles north-west of Beckley, with MOTs by appointment.
Beckley sits on the A268 in East Sussex, roughly 13 miles south-east of our workshop. The usual way up is to pick up the A28 through Northiam and Newenden, cross into Kent and then take the B2086 Benenden Road up to Cranbrook, a drive of around 25 minutes. It is further than some of our customers travel, but it is worth the trip for car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Beckley when you want to deal with a small family firm where John and his team will tell you plainly what the car needs and what can safely wait.
Day to day, most Beckley households depend on the car. Shopping, school and work usually mean a drive towards Rye, Tenterden or Hastings, so mileage builds up steadily on country A-roads rather than motorways. Brakes, tyres and suspension take most of the strain on journeys like these, and engines that cover a lot of miles gradually collect carbon deposits. Alongside full servicing, diagnostics and engine tuning, we offer EDT carbon cleaning, a good fit for engines that clock up big annual mileages. We also look after vans for local trades as well as family cars.
The roads around Beckley range from the A268, which carries traffic between Northiam and Rye, to narrow country lanes linking the village with Peasmarsh, Wittersham and Newenden. Mud, potholes and overgrown verges show up as worn tyres, knocked-out tracking and tired shock absorbers. In winter the main roads are gritted and salt clings to the underside of a car for months, so checking brake pipes, exhaust mountings and subframes closely is built into our car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Beckley. If anything needs welding to get the car through the test, we do that in-house too.
Our workshop at The Common, Sissinghurst, Cranbrook (TN17 2AF) is about 13 miles north-west of Beckley, usually around 25 minutes by car via the B2086, A28 and A268. There is space to drop your car off, and if you would rather we explain the work face to face, just ask when you book.

“John & his team have been servicing my car for a number of years now. Guaranteed to always be professional and on time but more importantly he is cheaper than other garages or main dealers. I always recommend him to family & my friends.”

“As an electrician I need my van on the road at all times. John has always serviced and maintained it for me and with him being local to us, it’s always at a place and time that’s convenient to me to work around my business. Highly Recommended!”
December 2019
“John replaced the cracked and leaking power steering pump in my focus for £388. He used genuine ford parts and was £150 LESS than I’d been quoted by my local garage. He did a great job. Thanks!”
