MOT, Servicing & Repairs for Catshill Drivers

Catshill is the village closest to our garage, sitting immediately north of Bromsgrove on the A38. Most Catshill residents are with us in five minutes. The A38 drops you directly into the Bromsgrove end of Kidderminster Road, and number 49 is on that stretch. It is the kind of short local journey where dropping a car off and walking back for a cup of tea is genuinely reasonable.

Marlbrook and Lydiate Ash are on the same side of Bromsgrove, and drivers from both get to us slightly quicker than those coming from further up the A38. The Lickey Hills ridge is visible to the north-east from most of Catshill, and the edge-of-Worcestershire setting means many households have at least one vehicle covering rural as well as commuter routes.

Being so close, Catshill customers make up a significant part of our regular base. We see their cars for annual MOTs, scheduled services, and anything that comes up between times. The familiarity means we often know a car's history, which helps when a new symptom appears — we are not starting from scratch on a vehicle we have never seen.

We are open Monday to Friday from 8am and Saturdays from 9am to 2pm. For Catshill and Marlbrook residents that means a Saturday morning drop-off and collection before lunch is realistic for a straightforward job.

Being five minutes away also means that same-day bookings are more practical for Catshill than for any other area we serve. If you notice a warning light, a change in noise, or a handling issue in the morning, call us first thing and we will fit you in where workshop space allows rather than asking you to wait a week for a scheduled slot. Urgent safety concerns — brake warnings, steering changes, tyre damage — are always prioritised.

Catshill residents often ask about the full range of work we cover, because the proximity makes us a convenient option for smaller jobs that people might otherwise put off. Air conditioning regas, wheel balancing, tracking checks, and brake fluid replacement are straightforward visits — typically an hour or less. We do not require these to be bundled with a service; book them on their own and we treat them with the same care as any larger job.

The Lickey Hills backdrop means a number of Catshill households have vehicles used on steeper rural roads, which puts specific demand on brakes and clutches. We measure brake disc thickness and pad depth at every service visit so nothing is missed between annual MOTs.
