Our Services
At David Martin Motor Vehicle Garage, we provide honest, reliable vehicle servicing and repairs you can trust. Every customer receives a clear estimate before any work begins, with no hidden costs.
We never carry out repairs without your full approval. Any replaced parts are always available to view, and one of our technicians will explain exactly why the work was required.
We offer a wide range of garage services for cars and light commercial vehicles, including the following:
MOT
DVSA-approved MOT testing for cars, vans and light commercial vehicles up to 3,500kg. We carry out Class 4, 5 and 7 MOTs in Thurston, serving Bury St Edmunds and surrounding areas. Fair, thorough testing with clear advice on any required work.
Servicing
Full and interim car servicing for all makes and models, carried out to manufacturer standards. We help keep your vehicle safe, reliable and running efficiently. Honest advice and competitive prices.
Air Conditioning
We offer air con. re-gas (on both systems). Just ask for an estimate. Re-gas available same day (subject to availability)
Minor Bodywork Repairs
Minor bodywork repairs including scratches, scuffs and bumper damage. Get a quick, affordable estimate to restore your car’s appearance.
Anti-freeze
We offer a FREE testing service and would be pleased to advise on your vehicle’s replacement interval if you are unsure. Let us know if we can help!
Cam Belt Replacement
The timing belt is subject to wear and tear and should be replaced at regular intervals (mileage and time) to prevent snapping – something that could be disastrous for any engine. If you would like to find out the timing belt replacement interval for your vehicle please let us know and we would be happy to assist.
Exhausts
Exhaust repairs, welding and full replacements. Fix noisy exhausts, rattles and leaks to keep your vehicle safe, legal and running efficiently.
Batteries
We are happy to test your battery for free. We hold the most common batteries in stock and are able to order in replacements (that we do not stock) same day. Let us know if we can help.
4 Wheel Alignment Check & Adjustment
Professional 4-wheel alignment to correct uneven tyre wear and improve handling. If you hit a kerb or a pothole (even at slow speed) your tracking can become misaligned. This increases friction on the tyres which leads to increased tyre wear and poor fuel economy.
Tyres
All brands for all budgets. New tyres supplied and fitted at competitive prices. Same-day fitting available if ordered by 12pm (subject to availability).
Welding
Welding repairs for MOT failures and structural issues. Fast, reliable fixes to get your vehicle safely back on the road.
Brakes
Brake checks, pad and disc replacements to keep you stopping safely. We’ll inspect your braking system and explain any work clearly.
Courtesy Car
Courtesy car available while your vehicle is in for repair (subject to availability). Ask our team for details when booking.
Levels & Tyre Checks
We offer FREE levels & tyre pressure checks to our customers that support us through the year.
