See All Car ServicesYou can get car MOTs, servicing & repairs in West Farleigh at Cranbrook Cars: our family garage at The Common, Sissinghurst (TN17 2AF) is about 12 miles south-east of West Farleigh, with MOTs by appointment.
West Farleigh is a small place on the south side of the Medway valley, in Maidstone borough, and it is easy to mix up with its larger neighbour East Farleigh a mile or so downstream. For both, the drive to us follows the B2163 Heath Road out to the A229, then heads south for roughly 12 miles. Our workshop is in Sissinghurst, on The Common, and the trip takes about 25 minutes. That is a fair way, so we try to make car MOTs, servicing & repairs in West Farleigh worth the journey with clear advice and work done properly first time.
With only a handful of houses and farms, West Farleigh relies on the car for almost everything: shopping in Maidstone, the run to a station at Wateringbury or East Farleigh, and getting children to school. Many of those miles are on country lanes with sharp bends and the odd steep stretch, which puts strain on brakes, clutches and tyres. We handle full servicing, brake pads, discs and fluid, clutch replacement and cambelt kits, and our diagnostic equipment helps pin down running faults quickly. If you are not sure whether something can wait, ask us and we will tell you straight.
Neighbours such as Barming, Yalding and Hunton share the same mix of farmland, tractors and narrow roads, and that combination is hard on suspension and exhausts. Potholes and verges crack springs and loosen mountings, while a low-slung exhaust can catch on raised centres in the lane. We repair exhausts right through to complete new systems and replace worn suspension parts as part of everyday car MOTs, servicing & repairs in West Farleigh. Before your test, our pre-MOT checklist is a useful way to spot simple faults at home.
Our workshop at The Common, Sissinghurst, Cranbrook (TN17 2AF) is about 12 miles south-east of West 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.

Yes. High emissions nearly always have a cause that diagnostics can uncover, such as a faulty sensor, poor tuning or a build-up of carbon. We find it, fix it and put the car back through its test, and that retest costs you nothing.

“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!”
