Book your MOT in New Addington

An MOT is an annual legal requirement to ensure road safety, but it does not mean you should be overcharged. At D.R.A Services, we ensure your vehicle is safe and roadworthy for the year ahead by organising your MOT at a local test centre at an affordable price.

An MOT, or Ministry of Transportation test, is an annual inspection mandated in the UK to evaluate your vehicle's safety and exhaust emissions. Without a valid MOT certificate, you cannot renew your road tax, and your car will be uninsured. MOT testers, accredited by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA), assess your vehicle against specific safety standards to determine whether it meets the necessary criteria to be deemed safe and roadworthy.

We prioritise getting you back on the road quickly without finding unnecessary faults. We always seek your approval before starting any work, if repairs are needed.

Our dedication has made us a popular choice, and we continually strive to deliver outstanding results and expand our expertise to assist as many customers as possible. When you choose our car garage for your MOT, rest assured that you and your vehicle are in safe hands.

Prior to their closure, I took my cars to a trusted garage. Since that point, I had been on the hunt for another trusted garage (which I believe can be difficult at times). But thankfully I came across DRA. From making an initial enquire via email (promptly answered), receiving a quote for the work needed, receiving an update on when the work was complete to making payment and collecting my cars (2 cars have been taken here so far at different points), I would find it a struggle to go somewhere else. As of recently, they were very very understanding regarding a payment issue, which can be stressful for both sides the customer and garage, but they were understanding and not aggressive in any manner. If you're looking for a garage that is honest, reasonably priced and professional, you've found it.

Martin is the most trustworthy, helpful, honest mechanic I have ever come across! He bent over backwards to repair my car after it had endless problems from another garage. I can’t rate him high enough and recommend him to everyone!
Jilly Griffin
A great family business. They know everything about Nissan Elgrand. I feel they really look after me and keep me on the road. They give good warning of when things need to be replaced. I value their expertise, courtesy and service.
J B
I have used DRA Services on several occasions over the past year to service and repair my ageing motor and every time I have found them to be a good, trustworthy garage that does an excellent job in fixing the car and one that charges a fair price. It has been a rare first class experience and I will confidently use them when needed and can fully recommend them.
Ferha Syed
Easy to get appointments. Know Elgrand and get the parts. Easy public transport too

As always a brilliant repair and service from Martin and Karen, it's not just about the technical work, they go above and beyond to help with the logistics and information, helping to avoid any surprises and finding solutions for customers!

Simon Payne
Highly recommended! They've been so helpful, honest and knowledgeable since the first phone call to when I picked my van up. I've got a Mazda Bongo and you can tell how much experience they have in looking after them. Even though I live in East Sussex, I'll be a repeat customer for sure.
Aaron Hobbs
Visited this afternoon at short notice in relation to issues with a BMW 5 Series. Martin could not have been more accommodating and helpful. He talked through the diagnostic results and explained aspects in a comprehensive but easy to comprehend fashion. I would highly recommend his services and will return for any issues. Huge thanks Martin 👍
Bernard Rix

Martin is always open, honest and super helpful 👍. Have an ongoing issue with my car and Martin has managed to advise appropriately. I would highly recommend DRA services.
Natalie Gray
I bring my bongo here and would highly recommend them. It’s not local to me (1 hour on a clear run) but worth it to know that I’m in good hands. Martin is very knowledgeable, explains things well, and I wouldn’t take it anywhere else. Karen always answers my messages promptly and very helpful. Thank you both 🙏
Annabelle Kleywegt
Great experience with DRA Services when I came in with the engine warning light on. They checked the car thoroughly and explained clearly what was going on. Very nice people too. Would highly recommend.
Bart
Great service and always great work done. I took my car there few years ago and I’m not taking it anywhere else ever since. Apart from the fore mentioned, I feel like they genuinely want to help, which is very rare nowadays. Highly recommend! And thanks again for fixing my car.
Alex Hudgell
The Bongo king and queen! Very knowledgeable, very helpful, very transparent. They go the extra mile. Great communication too. Treat your bongo to some DRA TLC 🔥
Steve Hall
I recently purchased a Nissan Elgrand and wanted to get it checked over ready for a road trip with the family. After some research I found DRA Services who are specialists in these vehicles and emailed them. I was contacted back by Karen who was very helpful and I made the booking. Martin who worked on the car is very knowledgeable on these cars and contacted me with some issues which he had found. He took the time to explain the problems and was honest in what needed to be done now and what could be left for now but keep an eye on. I was impressed with the work carried out and Martin’s honest opinions. I will be returning!
Bernard
Great service and at a reasonable cost. Mazda Bongo specialist
Matilda Nelson
Great experience with DRA services! The engine light had gone ON, on my van (Fiat Ducato) and the mechanic was very helpful, skilled, and went out of his way to explain everything about what the problem! I definitely recommend!

This lady deserves a medal - we have just booked in a Mercedes A class for next week Tuesday... reason why... Karen's communication and explanation of our warranty process was like having a beer with your friend in the local pub ... we hope the reviews are wright and we look forwards to seeing how things go Tuesday next week :) :)

We definitely found our trustworthy mechanic, only place our Bongo will be going from now on. Thanks Martin...Tony & Angie 😃👍

    • Brilliant work carried out on my Ford Focus ST. Sorted out all of the issues which meant it flew through its MOT with no issues. Replaced a CV gaiter and carried out a full service as well as some other maintenance bits. Amazing knowledge on all brands, let me know some bits which might need to be done soon as maintenance work but not needed yet!

    • Martin is friendly, honest and helpful.
      Changed the fuel pump on our Bongo, excellent service and went above and beyond to get our Bongo starting properly.
      We travelled over 85 miles to use him and wont be using anyone else. DRA come highly recommended.

    • A really great services and have recommended DRA to all my friends in and around the Croydon area.

    • Good, reliable, car servicing and repairing.

    • I've been going to D.R.A for a while and when I had my first car a Peugeot 206, they were so friendly and honest which was important to me as I had no clue about cars. Therefore, I always went to them for anything because I knew they wouldn't try to take advantage of my inexperience. They are efficient, experienced, reliable and honest mechanics. I recommend to anyone especially anyone who have trust issues with mechanics 😊

    • Highly recommended. Martin was very helpful and went above and beyond with our Mazda Bongo. Great service

    • A proper garage. I took my range rover to 4 different high street garages and none of them knew what was wrong with it bur Martin at DRA fixed it in a hour.

    • Great guys sorted my Ford Mondeo other garages wouldn't touch (injectors). Highly recommended

    • Swift service and reliable! Wouldn't take my car anywhere else! Great knowledge
