What we do

Everything your car needs, under one roof

MOT, full diagnostics, tyres, the lot. It all happens in the same workshop on Main Road, so you're not driving round Essex chasing three different garages for one job.

MOT Testing

Class 4 testing on-site. If something's flagged, we'll talk you through it in plain English before touching anything.

Servicing

Full and interim services to manufacturer schedules, using quality and genuine parts.

Diagnostics

Manufacturer-level kit that reads any make, so we find the actual fault instead of guessing.

Tyres

Supply and fitting for all vehicle types, plus tracking and pressure checks while you wait.

Brakes

Pads, discs and calipers checked, replaced and road-tested by our technicians.

Air-Con Re-gas

Air-conditioning re-gas and system checks to keep you cool through the summer months.

…and more. If it's not on this list, just ask — whatever your car needs, we'll sort it.

Why choose us

Why Great Leighs trusts Schilward Motors
