What we do
Three things we do, properly.
Servicing & MOT, repairs, and tuning — under one roof at Mount Farm, for all makes and models. Tap a category to see what's covered.
Servicing & MOT
Keep it running, keep it road-legal
Servicing & MOT
Keep it running, keep it road-legal
DVSA-approved MOT testing and full or interim servicing for cars and light vans, all makes and models. Bundle a service with your MOT to save a second visit.
-
A comprehensive 50-point service covering engine oil and filter, all fluid levels, brakes, suspension, steering, tyres and lighting. Recommended every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.
-
A six-monthly health check focused on oil, filters and safety-critical items. Ideal for high-mileage drivers between full annual services.
-
DVSA-standard MOT inspection for cars and light vans. Pass certificate same day; honest itemised quote if anything fails. Call 01908 375 773 for the current price.
-
Combine a full or interim service with your MOT in one visit, with the inspections coordinated to save time and avoid a double visit. Most cars completed same day.
Repairs
Diagnosed first, quoted before we touch anything
Repairs
Diagnosed first, quoted before we touch anything
Mechanical and electrical repairs across the full range of road cars and light vans. Nothing is started without an agreed price.
-
Major powertrain work — timing belts and chains, head gaskets, clutch packs, gearbox seals and full reconditioning where appropriate. We diagnose the fault before quoting a fix.
-
Pads, discs, drums, calipers, hoses and full brake fluid services. Diagnosed on a rolling road if needed, and pressure-tested before the car leaves the workshop.
-
Clutch plate, pressure plate, release bearing and dual-mass flywheel replacement on manual cars. We assess the flywheel condition before refitting — saves a second job later.
-
Shock absorbers, struts, springs, bushes, ball joints, track rod ends, anti-roll bar links and full geometry checks. Replacements paired with a four-wheel alignment.
-
Tread depth, pressure, sidewall condition and MOT tyre checks as part of servicing and MOT work. If replacement is needed, we explain the issue clearly so you know what to ask for.
-
Full and section exhaust replacement, catalytic converters, DPFs, lambda sensors and welding to MOT standard. Stainless and OE systems supplied.
-
Diagnostic scanning, wiring repairs, battery and alternator testing, immobiliser and central-locking faults. We trace the cause, not just clear the code.
-
MIG welding repairs to floor pans, sills, chassis legs and exhaust systems — to the MOT manual standard so the repair passes inspection cleanly.
Tuning
Get more from the engine you've got
Tuning
Get more from the engine you've got
Mechanical engine and suspension tuning for owners who want more from their car — done with experience, not just a laptop. Honest advice about what's realistic.
-
Performance camshaft selection, fitting and timing for naturally-aspirated petrol engines. Paired with appropriate valve springs and ECU work where needed.
-
Larger-scope engine builds — bigger pistons, balanced rotating assemblies, performance heads and intake/exhaust work. Designed around your car and your goals.
-
Coilovers, lowering springs, uprated bushes, anti-roll bars and adjustable arms. Set up on alignment gear, not just bolted on and hoped for the best.
-
Practical, no-snake-oil advice on getting more miles per gallon — fuel grade choice, ignition timing, tyre selection, weight management and driving style.
Service map
Every system, traced properly.
A car rarely gives you the whole story in one symptom. Anglos separates the systems, finds the real fault, then explains what needs doing before any work starts.
01 Engine Engine & gearbox Timing, cooling, clutch, gearbox and major powertrain work diagnosed before a quote is agreed. 02 Brakes Brakes Pads, discs, calipers, hoses and ABS faults checked, quoted and road-tested properly. 03 Suspension Steering & suspension Knocks, pull, worn bushes, springs and geometry issues traced back to the actual cause. 04 Electrics Electrical faults Warning lights, charging faults, wiring issues and intermittent problems tracked with diagnostic kit and hands-on testing.

Diagnostics
When the dashboard lights up, do not guess.
Warning lights are clues, not conclusions. Pick the light you are seeing and see how Anglos would approach the fault.
Safety-critical
ABS or brake warning
Brake warnings need proper checks. Anglos can test pads, discs, calipers, fluid, ABS sensors and brake performance before quoting the right repair.
See the related serviceDo not leave it long
Battery or charging fault
A weak battery, alternator or starter issue can strand the car without much warning. We load-test the system rather than guessing.
See the related serviceStop if it is overheating
Coolant temperature warning
Overheating can turn a small coolant fault into major engine damage. We check leaks, fans, thermostats, pumps and pressure before it escalates.
See the related serviceCheck pressure soon
Tyre pressure or TPMS fault
Tyre pressure warnings can be pressure loss, a valve issue, visible damage or a TPMS fault. We check condition and pressure, then explain what needs attention.

A simple, four-step process.
From the first phone call to the keys back in your hand — here's exactly what to expect when you book your car in with Anglos.

Drop off
Park up at the workshop and hand over the keys. We'll walk through what you've told us, take any extra notes, and confirm what time you can collect.

- 04
Fix & collect

No surprises
How we price the work.
Three rules — every job, every customer. Built on decades of repeat customers who tell us honesty about pricing is the reason they keep coming back.
Diagnose first
01 We work out what the car actually needs.
No guesswork — we use multi-marque diagnostic kit alongside the multimeter and stethoscope. Whatever the fault needs, that's what we do.
Honest about what the work requires
Quote first
02 Agreed price before anything is touched.
Once we know the fault, you get an itemised quote. Nothing is started without your sign-off — no surprises on the invoice.
No surprises, no creeping invoice
Fair pricing
03 Sensible rates, every time.
We've built our name on reliable servicing at sensible prices. Genuine or OE-quality parts, manufacturer-spec work, fair labour — and the same approach for an MOT as for a full engine build.
