Welcome to Harrison Motors, a cornerstone of reliable automotive care since its establishment in 1977. For over four decades, we've proudly served our community as a dedicated, family-run business, building a reputation for trustworthiness and exceptional service. Our journey began with a simple mission: to provide motorists with a garage they could depend on for all their vehicle maintenance and repair needs. Today, that commitment remains as strong as ever, upheld by our team of friendly, knowledgeable, and highly experienced mechanics.

Our Commitment to Quality and Expertise

At Harrison Motors, we understand that your vehicle is more than just a mode of transport; it's an essential part of your daily life. That's why we invest in our team and our facilities to ensure we can handle a comprehensive range of automotive challenges. Our mechanics are not only skilled in traditional repair methods but also stay abreast of the latest advancements in automotive technology. Whether you drive a classic car, a modern family saloon, or a robust commercial vehicle, our team possesses the expertise to diagnose and resolve issues efficiently and effectively. We pride ourselves on our ability to service and repair vehicles of all makes and models, ensuring that no matter what you drive, you can count on us for expert care.

MOT Testing: Ensuring Roadworthiness

As a registered MOT testing centre, Harrison Motors plays a crucial role in helping you keep your vehicle safe and legal on the road. The Ministry of Transport (MOT) test is a mandatory annual inspection for vehicles over three years old, designed to check that they meet road safety and environmental standards. Our certified testers conduct thorough inspections, covering everything from lighting and brakes to emissions and steering. If your vehicle fails its MOT, we provide clear, honest advice on the necessary repairs and can carry out the work to get you back on the road promptly. We aim to make the MOT process as stress-free as possible for our customers.

Comprehensive Vehicle Services

Beyond MOT testing, Harrison Motors offers a full spectrum of garage services designed to keep your vehicle in peak condition. Our services include:

Routine Servicing and Maintenance

Regular servicing is vital for the longevity and performance of your vehicle. We offer scheduled maintenance packages tailored to your car's specific make and model, ensuring all vital components are checked and maintained. This includes oil changes, filter replacements, fluid checks, and a thorough inspection of key systems. Proactive maintenance can help prevent costly breakdowns and keep your vehicle running smoothly.

Brake System Repairs

Your braking system is paramount to your safety. We offer comprehensive brake checks, including inspection of brake pads, discs, fluid, and lines. Whether you need a simple pad replacement or a more complex caliper repair, our mechanics have the expertise to restore your braking system's optimal performance.

Exhaust System Repairs

A healthy exhaust system is crucial for performance, fuel efficiency, and reducing emissions. We can diagnose and repair issues such as leaks, corrosion, and blockages, ensuring your exhaust system is functioning correctly and complies with environmental regulations.

Tyre Services

Properly inflated and well-maintained tyres are essential for safety, handling, and fuel economy. We offer tyre fitting, balancing, and alignment services to ensure your tyres wear evenly and provide the best possible grip and performance.
