MOT & Car Servicing in Charlton, Greenwich
Book your MOT or service with us and we will collect from anywhere in Charlton at a time that suits you. You get a call when it is done, and your car comes back to the same spot — with the paperwork.
We MOT and service cars from all over Charlton. If the test turns up work, we call you with a price before doing anything, and if you agree we fix it there and then rather than sending you away to book another appointment.
Free collection across SE7
Our own truck does the collection in Charlton, so there is no courier and no third party involved. Charlton is about 6.1 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Woolwich Road (A206) or Blackwall Tunnel Approach (A102), so same-day and next-day collections are normally easy to arrange. The vehicle does not need to run — non-runners, no-key vehicles and flat tyres are all fine.

Local knowledge of Charlton
Many of our Charlton customers have us collect from work, from the car parks around The Valley, or from home on the roads off Woolwich Road (A206). Whichever suits, the collection and return are part of the service.
If you stop on Woolwich Road (the A206), it is a main road — get the vehicle to the kerb or a side street if it will roll, put the hazards on and wait somewhere safe, not in the car.
Landmarks we use to find people in Charlton include The Valley, Charlton House and Charlton Park, and Charlton station. If you are lost, tell us what you can see and we will work it out together.
What it costs in Charlton
We do not work from a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The vehicle, the collection address, the destination and anything unusual about the job all change the work involved. Ring 07961 100260 with the details and we will give you one fixed price for Charlton — no extras added on the day. We take card and bank transfer.

MOT & Car Servicing in Charlton — FAQs
How does MOT collection work?
Tell us your registration and where the car is. We confirm the MOT due date, collect the car at a time that suits you, carry out the test at our workshop and return it — usually the same day.
How quickly can you reach me in Charlton?
Charlton is about 6.1 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 30 to 50 minutes, normally coming in via Woolwich Road (A206) and Blackwall Tunnel Approach (A102). Traffic, the time of day and how many jobs are running all move that, so when you ring 07961 100260 we give you a real window for that moment rather than a best case.
What happens if my car fails its MOT?
We call you with the reasons and a fixed price for the repairs. If you agree, we do the work and re-test it straight away. If you would rather take it elsewhere, that is your choice — you only pay for the test.
Do you cover all of SE7?
Yes — every street in SE7, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Westcombe Park, Greenwich Peninsula, Greenwich and North Greenwich, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
Can I have a service at the same time as the MOT?
Yes, and it is often cheaper and quicker to do both in one visit. Ask for an interim or full service when you book.
My car won't start at Charlton station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Charlton, usually for a flat battery after the car has sat all day. Tell us which car park and roughly where you are parked. If it has a height barrier or a pay-on-exit gate, mention that too and we will send the right vehicle and sort the exit with you.
How early can I MOT my car?
You can have the MOT up to a month (minus a day) before it runs out and keep the same renewal date. We can check your due date from the registration.
I have broken down on Woolwich Road — what should I do?
That is a main road, so safety first: if the car can roll, get it to the kerb or into a side road, switch on your hazards, and wait somewhere safe away from the traffic — not in the car. Then ring 07961 100260. Red routes and bus lanes are enforced quickly, so we prioritise moving vehicles off them.
Do I need to be at home for the collection?
No. Many customers leave the keys with a neighbour, a concierge or reception at work. We agree the arrangements with you in advance.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Charlton?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Charlton, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
