See All Car ServicesYou can get car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Cranbrook at Cranbrook Cars: our family garage at The Common, Sissinghurst (TN17 2AF) is about 2 miles north-east of Cranbrook, with MOTs by appointment.
Cranbrook is home ground for us, and it is where the garage takes its name. The workshop stands on The Common, Sissinghurst, so from the middle of Cranbrook you are looking at about two miles and roughly five minutes behind the wheel. That makes us the obvious first call for car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Cranbrook. There is no need to give up a day to visit a dealer in a bigger town: arrange a time, bring the car up to us and talk to the people who will actually be working on it.
Driving around a High Weald town tends to mean a lot of short, stop-start journeys: the school run, a quick trip to the high street, or a drive out to a railway station such as Staplehurst for anyone who works away. Engines that rarely get warm, plus the hilly Weald roads in every direction, put extra work on clutches, brakes and batteries. Diesels doing mostly short hops can also build up soot and carbon. Alongside regular servicing and diagnostics, our EDT engine clean and carbon cleaning treatment are both well suited to cars that seldom get the chance to stretch their legs.
Being this close, we are also handy for the villages that surround the town, from Sissinghurst and Benenden to Goudhurst, Hawkhurst and Frittenden. Whatever you drive, whether a family car, a work van or a vintage vehicle that only comes out on dry weekends, John and his team will happily take it on, whatever the make. If you are weighing up where to go for car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Cranbrook, it is worth knowing that there is no charge for the retest after we have done the repairs, and that we explain what a fault is and what it will take to put right before any work starts.
Our workshop at The Common, Sissinghurst, Cranbrook (TN17 2AF) is about 2 miles north-east of Cranbrook, usually around 5 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.

“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!”

“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!”
