We are passionate about cars and committed to ensuring that every vehicle that comes through our doors receives the utmost care and attention.

Our Comprehensive Range of Services

At AutoHouse, we understand that your vehicle needs can vary significantly.

Our service offerings are designed to be comprehensive, covering virtually all makes and types of vehicles. We don't discriminate based on the prestige or model of your car; our commitment is to deliver the same high standard of work across the board.

Routine Maintenance and MOTs

Regular maintenance is the cornerstone of a healthy vehicle. It not only ensures optimal performance and efficiency but also plays a vital role in maintaining safety on the road. AutoHouse provides thorough and reliable MOT testing services. An MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is an annual test of vehicle safety, roadworthiness, and exhaust emissions, applicable to most vehicles over three years old. Our technicians are fully trained and adhere to strict guidelines to ensure your vehicle meets all legal requirements. We can also perform all the necessary servicing and repairs to ensure your vehicle passes its MOT with flying colours.

Tyre Services

Your tyres are the only point of contact your vehicle has with the road, making their condition absolutely critical for safety and performance. AutoHouse offers a complete range of tyre services, from simple tyre changes and replacements to puncture repairs and wheel balancing. We can advise you on the best tyres for your vehicle and driving style, ensuring you have the right grip and longevity. Whether you need a quick tyre swap or a more in-depth tyre assessment, our team is here to help.

Brake System Maintenance

The braking system is arguably the most important safety feature of any vehicle. Any compromise in its performance can have severe consequences. AutoHouse specialises in the diagnosis and repair of all braking system components, including brake pads, discs, calipers, and fluid. We use high-quality parts and ensure that your braking system is in perfect working order, providing you with the confidence to stop safely and effectively.

Exhaust Systems

A healthy exhaust system is crucial for engine performance, fuel efficiency, and reducing harmful emissions. We can inspect, repair, or replace exhaust components, from mufflers and catalytic converters to exhaust pipes. If you're experiencing unusual noises, a loss of power, or suspect an exhaust leak, bring your vehicle to AutoHouse for a professional assessment.

Engine Diagnostics and Repair

Modern vehicles are equipped with sophisticated engine management systems that can sometimes be complex to diagnose. Our technicians utilise state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the source of any engine-related problems. Whether it's a check engine light, rough idling, or a complete breakdown, we have the expertise to get your engine running smoothly again. We handle everything from minor engine tune-ups to more involved repairs.

Clutch and Transmission Services

The clutch and transmission are vital for transferring power from the engine to the wheels. Issues with these components can manifest as difficulty changing gears, slipping clutches, or strange noises. AutoHouse offers expert diagnosis and repair for clutch and transmission problems, ensuring smooth and efficient gear changes.
