See All Car ServicesYou can get car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Harrietsham at Cranbrook Cars: our family garage at The Common, Sissinghurst (TN17 2AF) is about 12 miles south-west of Harrietsham, with MOTs by appointment.
Harrietsham lies north-east of our workshop, below the North Downs between Hollingbourne and Lenham. The drive is roughly 12 miles and takes around 20 minutes, south-west through the Low Weald on minor roads before you join the A229 on the way to Sissinghurst. Because you never need to go near Maidstone, it is a relaxed run, and that helps make us a good fit for car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Harrietsham if a family firm suits you better than a busy town workshop. Give us a call first and we will find an appointment that suits.
Some Harrietsham drivers commute by train from the village station, while others run vans for work across mid Kent. We look after both. For commuter cars we keep on top of servicing and the effects of short trips, and for vans we focus on the jobs that keep a working vehicle earning: brakes, clutches, tyres and cambelt kits. Customers from Goudhurst already trust John with the van they rely on for their trade, so we understand how much a van matters to a small business and why it needs to be back on the road.
Lenham and Broomfield are both under two miles away, and Leeds Castle is only a few minutes along the road. Lanes between the villages are narrow, and verges and potholes can damage tyres and knock wheel alignment out. We repair punctures where it is safe to do so, fit new tyres and sort out worn springs, bushes and shock absorbers. For car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Harrietsham, our full list of services covers everything from MOT welding to air conditioning, and the whole lot is handled in-house by our qualified team. If a tyre has picked up a nail on the lanes, bring it in and we will tell you whether it can be repaired.

“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!”
