Mechanical repairs in Peterborough
A worrying noise, worn clutch or change in braking deserves a clear explanation, not guesswork.
Peterborough MOT Station carries out mechanical car repairs for local car and van owners. We repair brakes, clutches, suspension, steering, exhausts and cooling systems, and take on a range of engine-related work. Tell us your registration and symptoms so we can confirm the appropriate assessment for your vehicle.
We use the findings from inspection and, where needed, diagnostic testing to discuss what requires attention. You receive an explanation of the proposed work before deciding how to proceed. We do not start additional repairs without your approval, and we will discuss any change in the work required.

Our mechanical services
From an MOT failure item to a developing mechanical problem, our garage can assess the work your vehicle needs and discuss suitable parts and repair options.
Our work includes brake pads and discs, relevant hydraulic components, suspension parts, shock absorbers and steering faults. Tell us about grinding, pulling, vibration or knocking so these symptoms can be considered during inspection.
A slipping clutch, difficulty selecting gears or an unusual vibration may need further investigation. We also discuss suitable timing belt, engine mount and gearbox-related work according to your vehicle and the fault identified.
We also handle exhaust checks and replacement, radiators, hoses and cooling-system faults. Report leaks and changes in temperature promptly, and do not continue driving a vehicle that appears unsafe.
A repair plan you understand
Describe when the problem occurs, whether it changes with speed or temperature and any warning lights you have noticed. Details of recent work can also help us decide which checks are appropriate. An intermittent fault may need more investigation than a visibly worn component.
Once we understand the work required, we discuss the repair and obtain your agreement. Completion times depend on diagnosis, parts and workshop availability. We will explain the arrangements for dropping off and collecting your car rather than promising a turnaround before it has been assessed.
Unsure whether the vehicle should be driven? Contact us to discuss the situation and suitable recovery arrangements.
Repairs after an MOT
When an MOT identifies defects, we explain the results and discuss suitable repairs. Bring the test report when enquiring about a failure from another centre so we can understand what was recorded. The vehicle may still need inspection before a repair can be confirmed.
Do not drive a vehicle with a dangerous defect. We can discuss local collection where driving is not appropriate, then explain the repair and retest arrangements relevant to your situation.

Our workshop is at Unit 4, Saville Road, Peterborough, PE3 7PR. We welcome enquiries from nearby Bretton and Longthorpe as well as Werrington, Hampton, Orton, Stanground and Yaxley, with MOTs, mechanical work and diagnostics available through the same team.
For a working van, include its make, model, size and the way it is used. This helps us discuss suitable arrangements and the work you need without assuming every vehicle has the same requirements.
