MOT & Car Servicing in Rochester, Medway
The MOT is the bit of car ownership everyone puts off, mostly because of the hassle of getting there and back. For drivers in Rochester we take that part away completely: we collect the car from your home or workplace, test it at our workshop, and bring it back.
We MOT and service cars from all over Rochester. 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.
We come to you in Rochester
Our own truck does the collection in Rochester, so there is no courier and no third party involved. Rochester is about 15.6 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via A2 or A228, 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.

MOT & Car Servicing in Rochester — 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 Rochester?
Rochester is about 15.6 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 40 minutes to an hour, normally coming in via A2 and A228. 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 ME1, ME2, ME3?
Yes — every street in ME1, ME2, ME3, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Chatham, Gillingham, Gravesend and Maidstone, 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 Rochester station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Rochester, 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 A2 — 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 Rochester?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Rochester, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
