See All Car ServicesYou can get car MOTs, servicing & repairs in East Farleigh at Cranbrook Cars: our family garage at The Common, Sissinghurst (TN17 2AF) is about 12 miles south of East Farleigh, with MOTs by appointment.
East Farleigh sits on the Medway in Maidstone borough, roughly 12 miles north of our workshop. Most customers leave the village on the B2163 Heath Road, pick up the A229 and follow it south through Staplehurst until they reach us on The Common, Sissinghurst. Allow about 25 minutes, a little more if the A229 is busy around Linton and Staplehurst. It is further than the garages in Maidstone, but plenty of people would rather trust car MOTs, servicing & repairs in East Farleigh to a small family firm where you speak to the person who actually works on the car.
Trains on the Medway Valley line stop in the village, so some households use the car mainly for the short drop down to the platform, while others head into Maidstone for work every day. Stop-start journeys like these are tough on clutches, batteries and brakes, and the climb away from the river valley gives a handbrake plenty to do. We service to the manufacturer's schedule, look over the brakes properly at every visit, and can replace a slipping clutch or an ageing cambelt before it leaves you stuck on the way to work.
Heading out towards Barming, Loose or West Farleigh means narrow lanes, tight bends and mud from the surrounding farmland at harvest time. Those conditions wear tyres quickly, knock the tracking out of line and leave grit packed around the brakes. We fit and repair tyres, chase down suspension knocks and look at steering faults, and if the car is due its test we can talk you through the usual reasons for a failure before you book. Family estate, works van or older classic, our approach to car MOTs, servicing & repairs in East Farleigh stays the same: honest advice and careful work.
Our workshop at The Common, Sissinghurst, Cranbrook (TN17 2AF) is about 12 miles south of East Farleigh, usually around 25 minutes by car via the A229 and B2163. 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.
Cranbrook Cars provides car MOTs, servicing & repairs in East Farleigh from our workshop on The Common, Sissinghurst.

Roughly 25 minutes. The usual route takes the B2163 Heath Road to the A229, then runs south along the A229 for most of the 12 miles. We are on The Common in Sissinghurst.
That is entirely your call. Many customers simply like dealing with a small family business where John and his team get to know their car. We work on all makes and models, explain what needs doing before we start, and a retest after our repair work costs nothing.
Yes. Our diagnostic equipment reads the fault codes, and we then test the car to pin down what triggered it instead of simply switching the light off. Engine management, ABS and emissions warnings are all things we deal with regularly.
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!”
