MotorAid — Driven by Respect

All Car Servicing & MOT

Fixed-price servicing and MOT for any make at Basildon and Hainault—qualified technicians, reviews you can trust, German-specialist standards applied to every car.

MotorAid have been a German car independent specialist for over 20 years with a respected reputation. Customers often asked whether we could service or MOT their other cars—so we now offer fixed-price servicing and MOTs for all makes at both branches in Basildon and Hainault.

No matter what make you own or lease, we can service and MOT it. You get the same peace of mind and hand-picked, fully qualified experienced technicians you would expect from a reputable garage. If you want trustworthy, value-for-money work, you’re in the right place—Steve Abbs, Managing Director.

Took my car here a few months back as the paint work was beginning to rust on one side, which was due to a poor job that had been done here a few years prior. However, I brought it back as it was still under warranty and the staff were more than happy to help & they got my car booked back in asap. I was supplied with a courtesy car in the meantime, which was very clean & lovely to drive. Upon receiving my car back in just under a weeks time, the job they did was fantastic and to a very high standard. It was obvious to me that they looked after my vehicle whilst it was in their care. Thank you to all the wonderful, friendly & helpful staff who made this process seem like no trouble at all, I really appreciate it :)
