See All Car ServicesYou can get car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Boughton Monchelsea at Cranbrook Cars: our family garage at The Common, Sissinghurst (TN17 2AF) is about 10 miles south of Boughton Monchelsea, with MOTs by appointment.
Boughton Monchelsea spreads along the Greensand Ridge to the south of Maidstone, in Maidstone borough, and our workshop is roughly 10 miles due south. Most drivers work their way across to the A229 near Linton and then follow it down through Staplehurst to Sissinghurst, where we are based on The Common. The journey takes about 20 minutes. If you would prefer car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Boughton Monchelsea to be done by a small team who know your car rather than a busy town-centre operation, the drive is well worth it.
Life on the ridge means hills in almost every direction. Lanes drop steeply off the ridge towards the Weald, and every trip home means climbing back up again, so cars here do a lot of hill starts and long descents. That is hard on clutches, brakes and engine mounts, and on cambelts in older engines that have been worked hard. We replace clutches and cambelt kits, renew pads, discs and fluid, and our diagnostics and engine tuning keep things running smoothly. For a sense of the work we take on, have a look at our image gallery.
Close neighbours Loose, Linton and Langley share the same mix of ridge-top lanes and busy A-road traffic. Plenty of households keep an older car for sunny weekends, and we are glad to look after classics and vintage vehicles alongside everyday runabouts and commercial vans. Welding, head gasket and cylinder head repairs, suspension work and exhaust systems are all part of the job. Whatever sits on your drive, car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Boughton Monchelsea are something we can take care of, with straight answers about what is needed now, what can safely wait and what it is likely to involve.
Our workshop at The Common, Sissinghurst, Cranbrook (TN17 2AF) is about 10 miles south of Boughton Monchelsea, usually around 20 minutes by car via the A229. 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.

Around 20 minutes for the 10 miles or so. Pick up the A229 near Linton and keep heading south. The workshop is on The Common in Sissinghurst, a short way beyond Staplehurst.
Yes, very happily. Older and vintage machines come through our doors regularly, and they get proper attention rather than being squeezed in. Older cars often need welding, carburettor or ignition tuning and careful brake work, and John's team have the experience to deal with them sympathetically.
A clutch that slips when you pull away uphill or accelerate hard is usually worn, though adjustment or hydraulic faults can cause similar symptoms. Bring it in and we will check it properly, then quote for a repair or a full replacement.
Every booking at our Sissinghurst workshop (TN17 2AF) is handled by our City & Guilds qualified mechanics at our CVTS-registered garage. We inspect your vehicle, explain any findings clearly before starting work, and include a free MOT retest when the repairs are carried out with us.

“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!”
