Marchwood MOT, Servicing & Repairs

Drop off on the way, collect on the way home

Marchwood sits on the A326 between Totton and Hythe, about 4 miles from our workshop on Shore Road. We open at 8am. Many Marchwood drivers leave the car with us on their way in and pick it up when they’re done for the day. Choose “Leave it for the day” when you book and we’ll call when it’s ready.

Commuter miles add up

If you drive into Southampton every day, you can cover 12,000 miles well before a year is up. An interim service at around 6,000 miles keeps the oil fresh and catches worn brakes between annual services. Not sure what’s due? Pick “Not sure, advise me” and we’ll check the history. More on our Hythe car servicing page.

Steering pulling on the dual carriageway?

Steady miles at speed make an alignment fault obvious. The car drifts, the wheel sits off-centre, or the inside edge of a tyre wears down early. Our four-wheel laser rig sets it back to the manufacturer’s figures. See laser wheel alignment in Hythe.

Vans from the industrial estates

Running a van from one of Marchwood’s business parks? Vans up to 3,000kg take a Class 4 MOT. Larger vans from 3,000 to 3,500kg need a Class 7, which we test on site. Our Class 7 and van MOT page explains how to tell which you need.

When it fails

We price each failure, do only what you agree, and retest on site, usually the same day when the parts are in stock. The full list of what we repair is on our car repair garage page. You can also read how the MOT test in Hythe works.

The route

Join the A326 southbound towards Fawley, come off at Hythe and follow the signs for Shore Road. Heading the other way? We also look after Totton and Dibden Purlieu.
