See All Car ServicesYou can get car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Bethersden at Cranbrook Cars: our family garage at The Common, Sissinghurst (TN17 2AF) is about 11 miles west of Bethersden, with MOTs by appointment.
Bethersden lies on the A28 between Tenterden and Ashford, about 11 miles east of our garage. The way back towards us follows country lanes west to pick up the A262, runs along it towards Sissinghurst, and then a short stretch of lanes delivers you to The Common, Sissinghurst, where our workshop stands. Give yourself around 20 minutes. It is a straightforward cross-country drive, and it means you can get car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Bethersden from a small family business, where you speak to the people actually working on your vehicle rather than a call centre or a service desk.
Plenty of vehicles around Bethersden earn their keep. Builders, farmers and other trades rely on vans and pick-ups for the drive into Ashford and around the villages, and a van off the road costs money. We look after commercial customers as well as domestic ones, and already maintain vans for tradespeople elsewhere in the area, including an electrician from Goudhurst. Heavy loads wear brakes, clutches and tyres faster than the mileage suggests, so we pay close attention to pads, discs and brake fluid and tell you straight what needs doing before the next MOT. If the van is your livelihood, say so when you book.
From Bethersden, Pluckley, Smarden, Shadoxhurst, Woodchurch and Great Chart are all close by, and many local journeys mix the faster A28 with slow, twisting lanes. That combination of steady speed and rough surfaces works suspension and tyres hard, and winter gritting brings salt that attacks exhausts and the underside of the car. We repair and replace tyres, sort suspension faults, and handle exhausts of every kind, from a single blowing joint to a brand new system. If you want car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Bethersden handled by one trusted garage, call 01580 715007 and we will get you booked in.

That comes down to where the puncture is and how much tread remains. We repair tyres where it is safe and legal to do so, and replace and fit new ones where it is not. We will show you the damage and explain which option makes sense.

“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!”
