How often should you book car servicing and MOT checks?

Most cars need servicing once a year or around every 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. MOT testing is usually required every year once your vehicle is three years old, and keeping both up to date helps avoid preventable faults.

Can we prepare your car before its MOT?

Yes, we can carry out MOT preparation checks before the test. This can help identify worn tyres, lighting faults, brake issues, or other common problems that may lead to a failure.

Do we work on most makes and models?

Yes, we carry out repairs, servicing, diagnostics, and routine maintenance for most makes and models of cars. If you're unsure about your vehicle, call us and we'll let you know how we can help.

Practical garage support for everyday motoring

From MOT preparation to engine repairs, we focus on the jobs that keep your vehicle dependable day after day. Our diagnostics help track down faults that aren't always obvious, which is especially useful when a dashboard light appears, but the cause is unclear. Preventative checks can spot worn parts before a long journey, a school run, or a daily commute turns into a roadside problem.

We work on general repairs and ongoing maintenance with the same steady approach, giving you honest advice about what needs attention now. You'll find us easy to talk to because we know most people want straight answers rather than garage jargon.

"The crew from Amersham Auction Rooms have been using John Cox for almost 15 years now and we wouldn't go anywhere else. They are so professional, and you will always get good advise.......even if you don't like the news. Example ....my car needed a new alternator and it was running a little rough, I took their advice and I've been driving it trouble free for two years now. They are the most honest garage you will come across."
