Trade price MOTs in Chelsham

MOT testing is an essential step in ensuring driving safety. For cars aged over three years, it is a legal requirement to undergo an annual MOT test. This test allows mechanics to identify various issues, from illegal exhaust emissions to electronic faults. We will carefully assess brakes, headlights, suspension, vehicle structure, and tyres.

We work with a local MOT test centre where skilled technicians complete all MOT testing. In the event of failure, your safety would be prioritised, whilst also providing a detailed explanation of the issues.

Our mechanics can identify the necessary repairs or changes needed to enhance the likelihood of your car passing with subsequent attempts. We can give you a free quote for this work.

Look no further, Martin knows Nissan Elgrands inside out with over 30yrs of experience. Among other things he fixed a broken aircon, gave me some very sound advice and I left his garage a very happy camper driver! Going back for some heavy duty rear springs soon.
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.
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 👍
Josefeen Foxter
I’ve been coming here for years with my Bongo. I drive all the way from Hackney because Martin is the absolute best- super knowledgeable, genuinely committed to doing an excellent job, trustworthy and reasonable and transparent with his prices. Thank you Martin!
Dani K
Highly recommended! Genuinely helpful, got the job done quickly and saved me a lot of lost earnings.
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 🙏
Stephen Fernandes
Very glad I came across DRA while searching for a local mecanic.. after being let down badly by another garage, I was looking for a diferent mecanic and came across DRA, give them a call and Karen was very helpfull and efecient, took my notes on my car issues and gave me a call back the day after with a quote ready, book for a couple of days ahead, met Martin when dropped off the car which then gave me a call go trough MOT failures and we agreed on works to be carried. Despise being quite a couple of rather serious failures, I picked up the car the day after, with MOT passed and issues sorted. No messing around, straight forward, fair price and great service. Thanks Martin and Karen, much appreciated!
Graham Bell
Excellent in all respects, servicing and fixing my Mazda Bongo. Clearly listened to what was needed, in depth investigation of problem, crucially stocked the needed Bongo parts, clear communication. Evidently knows Bongos inside out. Runs great now, I am very happy. Graham.
S LP
Very helpful when it came to my Nissan Elgrand. The only reason I haven't used them for my other vehicles is due to distance. Very honest family business and have even given me guidance over the phone too.
Joshua Stewart
Really nice guy, very knowledgable. I phoned up to ask some questions about work needing doing on a bongo I'm looking at buying and some general questions and he really knew his stuff and was helpful and friendly. I'll come here to get the work done!
Hugh Williams
Martin is great - super knowledgeable, helpful and above all honest and flexible. DRA have been great and I will be bringing both my car and campervan here going forward.
L D
Been with these guys for years and will never leave. Amazing people that provide an amazing and honest service. Highly recommend
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.
MF “None None” KEW
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.
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 🔥
Keith Barratt
Martin is very knowledgeable about my Toyota Alphard. I'm very impressed.
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.
hdowlen
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!
Craig Barnes
DRA are not your usual mechanics. They are engineers, problem solvers, fountains of specialist knowledge gleaned though experience and intelligence. Brilliant service and support over many years with our Toyota Hiace. We’ve moved half way across the UK but still bring our van back to Martin, Daniel and Karen every year for servicing and any work needed. They are passionate about their work, a rare beast in this day in age!
Bernard Rix
Best garage I've ever taken any of my vehicles to, in all my 60 years. Wonderfully friendly service from Martin, Daniel, and Karen. Good value repairs and servicing. Just brilliant!
robert Barton

Richie Lambert
After many years suffered at the hands of less than honest mechanics ( We've all been there ),I was recommended DRA . This family team are straight up and honest ,will tell you directly what is going on . I won't go anywhere else now ,did a quick job on my Celica recently without charge . A cool family and a great business I do recommend highly .
Paula Wilkinson
Soooo handy this place being relatively local as poor Vera the Bongo needed help beyond our ability. Friendly, helpful staff who do a good job and do what they can to keep down costs where they can. I suspect that, being Bongo owners, we'll be putting more dosh in the DRA coffers from time to time! Worth it though.
Bernard
Great service and at a reasonable cost. Mazda Bongo specialist
Robert Banaszkiewicz
100%Trustworthy garage, always explained what had been done and what needs to be fixed.

      We travelled over 85 miles to use him and wont be using anyone else. DRA come highly recommended.

    • 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 😊

    • Excellent service on our Bongo today. Martin is a fair & honest guy. Would highly recommend DRA Services. Hubby travelled 81 miles to go to DRA Services & so happy he did. We definitely found our trustworthy mechanic, only place our Bongo will be going from now on. Thanks Martin...Tony & Angie 😃👍

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

    • 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!

    • 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.

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

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