Kettering Motorist Centre: MOT testing, tyres and servicing in Kettering

Kettering Motorist Centre Ltd operates from Trafalgar Road in Kettering, Northamptonshire, as a garage combining MOT testing with tyre supply and a broad servicing and repair offer. The business presents itself as a family-values workshop that emphasises transparency in its working practices, staff training and investment in equipment, and it describes customer loyalty as a reflection of the respect it aims to show in its dealings.

MOT testing and online booking

MOT testing is a central part of the activity, and the site allows customers to book an MOT online. The booking page quoted a test price of £49.85 at the time of writing, with payment made on completion rather than online; the booking itself is not treated as a contract, and the centre contacts the customer if the requested date is unavailable. The site also notes that earlier appointments can be requested by phone. Alongside conventional MOTs, the garage lists EV MOT testing.

Bookings can be cancelled up to the point of the MOT, and the centre reserves the right to cancel if a booked item was listed at an incorrect price or is unavailable. Customers can also sign up for tax and MOT renewal reminders, an option the site associated with a £5 voucher.

Tyres and wheel alignment

The garage sells what it describes as a range of top-brand tyres and offers online tyre booking. Its tyre section covers practical guidance on checking tyre pressure and tread, tyre labelling and winter tyres, and wheel alignment is listed among the workshop services. Winter checks also appear as a separate item.

Servicing across brands and fuel types

Servicing is organised both by manufacturer and by vehicle technology. The site lists manufacturer-specific servicing for Audi, BMW, Ford, Jaguar, Mercedes, Renault, Skoda, Suzuki, Toyota, Vauxhall and Volkswagen, and it also names Tesla servicing and repairs, electric car servicing and hybrid car servicing. Automatic transmission servicing is offered as its own service, and VW Transporter and VW van work is called out separately.

Repairs, diagnostics and other workshop work

Beyond routine maintenance, the workshop covers a set of diagnostic and repair tasks:

• New car health checks
• Air conditioning
• Brakes
• Cam belts
• Diagnostics for DPF and AdBlue faults, including cleaning and repairs
• Exhausts
• Vehicle diagnostics
• Other repairs

The combination points to a garage equipped to handle both mechanical servicing and emissions-related fault work on modern vehicles.

Membership and customer information

The site refers to a free KMC membership and provides a tool for checking when MOT and tax renewals are due, alongside a blog. Its published terms state that the website is owned and operated by Kettering Motorist Centre Ltd, registered under company number 4485858, and that online bookings are settled at the centre on completion of the work.
