Royal Tunbridge Wells is around fifteen miles from our workshop, about twenty-five minutes along the A21 and A262. It is a fair drive, but we already have customers from the town, and they come for a small family garage, more than 30 years of experience and an owner who answers their questions himself.

See All Car ServicesYou can get car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Royal Tunbridge Wells at Cranbrook Cars: our family garage at The Common, Sissinghurst (TN17 2AF) is about 15 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, with MOTs by appointment.
Our workshop is east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, on The Common, Sissinghurst, beyond Cranbrook. From the town, you take the A264 Pembury Road out to the A21, follow the A21 south-east past Pembury and Kipping's Cross, then turn east on the A262 through Goudhurst to the A229. It adds up to about fifteen miles and roughly twenty-five minutes. Choosing us for car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Royal Tunbridge Wells means swapping town traffic for a run through the countryside, and dealing directly with the man in charge. That can make a welcome change from queuing at a busy service desk.
In town, cars spend a lot of time in slow traffic, on steep streets and in tight parking spaces, with occasional runs out onto the A21 or to the station for trains on the Hastings line. Stop-start driving wears brakes, clutches and power steering, and kerbed wheels knock out the tracking. One of our customers from Tunbridge Wells came to us to have the power steering pump replaced on a Ford Focus, and you can read what others say on our testimonials page. Our diagnostics, clutch and brake work cover the rest.
The Pantiles and the busy town centre are a world away from the High Weald villages around Cranbrook, but Bedgebury Pinetum, Scotney Castle and Sissinghurst Castle Garden are all popular trips out in our direction. If you are coming this way anyway, it is easy to drop the car with us first. For car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Royal Tunbridge Wells, we offer MOTs by appointment, free retests and failure repairs, including welding and emissions faults, as well as everyday servicing, tyres and exhausts for cars and vans alike. Book ahead and the car can go straight in.

Heavy steering is often down to the power steering system, such as a failing pump, low fluid or a slipping drive belt, though tyres and suspension can play a part. We will find out what is behind it and carry out the repair. Call 01580 715007 to book it in.

“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!”
