Our Services

Car Servicing – Keep your vehicle in tip-top condition with regular servicing. Following vehicle manufacturer guidelines, we recommend motorists in and around Basildon, Brentwood, Chelmsford and Romford book a comprehensive full car servicing every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever arrives first. Those likely to exceed 12,000 miles a year should also look to book an interim car servicing appointment every subsequent 6 months or 6,000 miles. Car servicing offers a host of benefits including better fuel efficiency, reduced chance of breakdown, an extended vehicle lifespan and improved road safety.

MOT Testing – While MOT testing can feel like a bit of a chore, getting it booked well in advance at a reputable garage like our own will really take the sting out of it; not just in terms of price – where we look to stay competitive amongst Basildon, Brentwood, Chelmsford and Romford garages – but in regards to customer service. Should your vehicle fail MOT testing, the reason for failure will be clearly explained. If you choose to undertake repair work at The Garage Group Essex, you’ll qualify for a free re-test, ensuring you get back safely on the road ASAP with minimal cost.

Plug-in Diagnostics – Our garage is equipped with the latest and most sophisticated ECU readers, which allow us to carry out ultra-fast and ultra-accurate plug-in diagnostics. Reading fault codes retrieved from your engine’s on-board control unit, our technicians will figure out exactly what’s bothering your vehicle, allowing us to intervene swiftly and without delay. So if you’re in Basildon, Brentwood, Chelmsford or Romford and experiencing a change in vehicular performance, don’t put off seeing to it – visit your local Garage Group Essex location for both traditional mechanical and plug-in diagnostics.

Brakes – Ensuring your brakes are in proper working condition is absolutely essential for obvious reasons: they’re your first line of defence, and even minor issues could make the difference between stopping and a road accident. If you notice your brakes are feeling less responsive, or braking leads to strange noises, smells or an odd feeling under-foot, visit us for diagnostics. In many cases, it’ll simply be the need to replace or repair components, like discs and pads. When Basildon, Brentwood, Chelmsford and Romford motorists require full replacement of brakes, we use OEM parts which come with long-term warrantees, and charge competitive rates on both parts and service.

Clutches – One of the more complex parts of a vehicle, when clutches go awry it’s important to have a genuine specialist diagnose and repair the issue. Luckily, the team at The Garage Group Essex have fixed countless clutches, and know everything that can go wrong with them. So if you’re in Basildon, Brentwood, Chelmsford or Romford and noticed your clutch sticking, or otherwise acting up – don’t put off paying us a visit. Minor issues can quickly worsen and lead to far more extensive damage to your engine.
