Wormshill is north-east of our workshop, around 16 miles away by road. The usual route comes down from the downs towards Harrietsham, then crosses the Low Weald on minor roads until you meet the A229 for the run into Sissinghurst. In good conditions it takes about 25 minutes. From a village this remote, any trip to a garage means a drive, so when it comes to car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Wormshill it is worth making that drive to a family business where you talk to the people doing the work. Ring ahead so we can have a slot ready for you.

Life on the downs means steep gradients, farm traffic and lanes that are slippery with mud and leaves for much of the winter. Cars and vans up here often double as workhorses, carrying loads, towing trailers or crawling up hills in low gear. That shows up in clutches, gearboxes, suspension and brakes. Clutch and gearbox replacement, suspension repairs and brake work are all routine for us, and older or vintage vehicles are welcome too. If a car has been laid up over winter, we can service it and check everything before it goes back on the road.

Bicknor lies just over a mile off, and Hollingbourne, Harrietsham and Lenham are all within a few miles. Wherever you go from Wormshill, you climb or descend, and that is hard on brake discs, pads and fluid. Our MOT checks page lists simple things you can look at before your test. For car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Wormshill, we test by appointment, retest free of charge and carry out MOT failure work including welding and emissions repairs, so a fail does not have to mean a second garage.

Common Questions

What questions do Wormshill drivers ask?

How far is Cranbrook Cars from Wormshill?

About 16 miles south-west, roughly 25 minutes by car. The route comes off the North Downs and follows country roads across to the A229; we are based at The Common, Sissinghurst.

I tow a trailer up and down the downs. What should I get checked?

Towing on steep hills puts extra strain on the clutch, brakes, suspension and cooling system. We can check all of these during a service and replace worn parts, including fitting a new clutch if it has started to slip. Mention the towing when you book so we know what to look at.

My car has been sitting unused over winter. What should I do?

Cars that stand for months can develop flat batteries, seized brakes and tyres with flat spots. Rather than risk a breakdown on the lanes, book it in for a service and we will check brakes, tyres and fluids and sort out anything that needs attention.

What is included when I book car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Wormshill?

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.

Mrs S Rutherford

Local Customer · Kent

“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.”

Mr Lance Anthony

Commercial Van Customer · Goudhurst

“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!”

Miss C Liles

Repair Customer · Tunbridge Wells

“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!”
