See All Car ServicesYou can get car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Yalding at Cranbrook Cars: our family garage at The Common, Sissinghurst (TN17 2AF) is about 12 miles south-east of Yalding, with MOTs by appointment.
Yalding is a Maidstone borough village where the Beult and the Teise join the Medway, about 12 miles north-west of our workshop. The usual way here runs along the B2162 through Collier Street, then across to Marden and out to the A229 at Staplehurst, before a short run south to The Common, Sissinghurst. Give yourself around 25 minutes. It is a rural drive with very little town traffic, and it means car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Yalding can be looked after by a family garage that treats every customer's car as if it were its own.
Three rivers meeting in one place makes Yalding well known for flooding, and local drivers learn to treat high water on the roads with respect. Driving through even moderately deep water can draw it into the engine, soak electrical connections and leave brakes and wheel bearings full of silt. If your car has started misfiring, showing warning lights or making new noises after a wet spell, our diagnostics will help find out why. We also check and replace brake components, look at exhausts that have taken a soaking and carry out full servicing to put things right.
Plenty of Yalding residents commute by car or use the station on the Medway Valley line, while others work the farms and businesses between Hunton, Wateringbury and East Peckham. Those narrow, low-lying lanes are muddy for much of the year and full of potholes after winter, which shortens the life of tyres and suspension. We repair punctures, fit new tyres, replace worn suspension parts and sort cambelts, clutches and gearboxes too. If you would like car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Yalding done properly, have a look at our full list of services and give us a ring.
Our workshop at The Common, Sissinghurst, Cranbrook (TN17 2AF) is about 12 miles south-east of Yalding, usually around 25 minutes by car via the A229 and B2162. 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.
Cranbrook Cars provides car MOTs, servicing & repairs in Yalding from our workshop on The Common, Sissinghurst. Yalding motorists can book the following at our workshop near Sissinghurst. We repair cars and vans of every make, and if the car has been through floodwater we will tell you honestly what needs checking.
Most people take the B2162 through Collier Street towards Marden, then head to Staplehurst and turn south on the A229. It is roughly 12 miles and usually takes around 25 minutes.
It is a good idea, especially if it now runs badly, shows a warning light or the brakes feel different. Water can get into the engine, electrics and brakes. We can inspect the car, run diagnostics and tell you what, if anything, needs attention.
That comes down to where the damage is and how serious it looks. Many punctures in the tread can be repaired safely, but damage to the sidewall or a tyre that is already worn usually means replacement. We will check it and fit a new tyre if needed.
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.

“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!”
