See All Car ServicesYou can get car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Stone-in-Oxney at Cranbrook Cars: our family garage at The Common, Sissinghurst (TN17 2AF) is about 16 miles north-west of Stone-in-Oxney, with MOTs by appointment.
Stone-in-Oxney is about 16 miles from our workshop, a drive of roughly 25 minutes. The route heads west to Wittersham, follows the B2082 Small Hythe Road as far as Tenterden, and from there takes country roads through Golford and on to our garage on The Common, Sissinghurst. It is one of the longer journeys among the villages we look after, so we try to make every visit count. If you are booking car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Stone-in-Oxney, ask about combining jobs so the car only needs to make the trip once. We will also tell you what is coming up, so the next visit can be planned too.
Cars in a small village like Stone-in-Oxney tend to do a bit of everything: farm and field work, trips to Tenterden or Rye, and longer runs further afield. Some are kept going for many years, and that is exactly the kind of vehicle we enjoy looking after. We offer full servicing, clutch and gearbox work, suspension repairs and engine installation when an old engine is beyond saving. For engines that have had a hard life, our EDT engine cleaning flushes out sludge in about 15 minutes, after which we renew the oil and filter so the engine starts afresh.
Below the Isle of Oxney, the roads cross flat marshland criss-crossed by drainage ditches, and it is not unusual to meet mud, standing water and farm traffic. Salt spread in winter clings to the underside of cars on these routes, which speeds up corrosion on exhausts, brake components and sills. As part of car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Stone-in-Oxney, we look closely for rust and carry out MOT welding when a sill or floor panel needs it. Drivers in Wittersham, Peasmarsh and Woodchurch get the same thorough approach, and so does every vintage vehicle that comes through our door.

“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!”
