See All Car ServicesYou can get car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Egerton at Cranbrook Cars: our family garage at The Common, Sissinghurst (TN17 2AF) is about 11 miles south-west of Egerton, with MOTs by appointment.
Egerton is about 11 miles north-east of our garage, and the drive takes around 15 minutes. Country lanes carry you south-west off the ridge and across the Weald, past the turnings for Smarden, until you reach the A229 and carry on to Sissinghurst. Our workshop is on that stretch. Because the whole route avoids the busier main roads, it is a relaxed trip, and it makes us a practical choice for car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Egerton if you would prefer a family-run business to a big chain or a dealership. You will be dealing with the same small team every time.
Egerton's position on the ridge means steep lanes in and out of the village, and that changes how cars wear. Descending hills puts heavy demands on brakes, while climbing them works the engine, clutch and cooling system hard. We check pads, discs and brake fluid with extra care on hill-country cars, and we repair cylinder heads and head gaskets if an engine has been overheating. Rural lanes also mean mud and rough surfaces, so we look after suspension and tyres too, and fit replacements when they are needed. Clutch work and gearbox replacement are also part of what we do every day.
Egerton's nearest neighbours include Pluckley, Boughton Malherbe, Little Chart, Lenham, Charing and Ulcombe, and journeys often mix ridge-top lanes with a run down to the A20 or M20. In winter, the higher lanes can bring frost, mud and salt all on one journey, which speeds up corrosion on exhausts and brake parts. When you come to us for car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Egerton, we check those areas carefully, repair or replace exhausts as needed, and recharge air conditioning so the windscreen clears quickly on cold, damp mornings. Small jobs like that make winter driving on the ridge much easier.
Our workshop at The Common, Sissinghurst, Cranbrook (TN17 2AF) is about 11 miles south-west of Egerton, usually around 15 minutes by car. 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.

They can. Regular braking downhill heats the pads and discs and wears them faster, and old brake fluid can lose effectiveness when it gets hot. We inspect pads, discs and fluid and replace whatever is worn, so your brakes are up to the hills around Egerton.
It could be low coolant, a failing fan or thermostat, or something more serious such as a head gasket problem. Running an engine hot can turn a small fault into a big one, so stop and call us. We will diagnose the cause, and cylinder head and head gasket repairs are part of our everyday work.
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!”

“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!”
