Introducing Downey's: Your Premier Automotive Care Destination
At Downey's, we understand that your vehicle is more than just a mode of transport; it's a significant investment and a crucial part of your daily life.

Whether you're looking for a straightforward MOT, a detailed service, or a convenient service plan, Downey's is your trusted local garage, dedicated to offering exceptional quality and value for money.
Hassle-Free MOTs: Pass with Flying Colours
The annual MOT test can often be a source of anxiety for vehicle owners. At Downey's, we aim to eliminate that stress entirely. We offer a hassle-free MOT service that includes not only the official test but also a thorough preparation and presentation of your vehicle. Our comprehensive service package, which includes the MOT test fee, ensures your car is serviced and ready to meet all the required standards. We meticulously check and test key components, including:
- Oil and oil filter change
- Antifreeze and brake fluid validity
- Headlight beam alignment
- Exhaust emissions
- Steering and suspension components
- Brakes and handbrake adjustment and testing
- MOT steam wash
- Fluid level checks
We are so confident in our meticulous preparation that if your vehicle, after taking advantage of our pre-MOT service, were to fail its first test, we will cover the cost of the retest. This commitment underscores our dedication to getting it right the first time, every time.
Downey's prides itself on being a specialist in servicing all makes and models of vehicles, whether they are brand new or pre-owned. We are particularly proud to be a manufacturer-approved service centre for Kia, equipped with the latest diagnostic and repair equipment specifically approved by the manufacturer. Our team of highly trained technicians possesses the in-depth knowledge and expertise required to handle the complexities of modern vehicles. You can rest assured that your car is in capable hands, receiving precise work and thorough care from professionals who are passionate about automotive excellence.
Servicing for Vehicles Under Warranty
We understand the importance of maintaining your vehicle's warranty. Downey's offers specialised servicing for all vehicles, including those within their warranty period. By using genuine parts and filters, we ensure that your warranty remains intact, giving you the best of both worlds: high-quality servicing at a competitive price, without compromising your manufacturer's guarantee. We are so confident in our ability to provide superior value that if you present us with a written quote from a franchised main dealer for a 1-3 year old vehicle service, we guarantee to beat their price.
Service Plans: Budgeting Made Easy
Arranging and budgeting for your car's regular servicing is a crucial aspect of vehicle ownership. Our innovative Service Plans are designed to make this process as hassle-free as possible. By signing up for a Service Plan with Downey's, you can schedule your upcoming services at a pre-agreed, discounted price.
