Need an MOT garage in Ealing? MH Auto Repair Centre is a family-run garage in Perivale/Greenford that books your MOT at an authorised MOT test centre nearby, then does the pre-MOT check and any MOT repairs at our own workshop. Car body repairs are our specialism, and we also handle servicing, diagnostics, tyres and suspension work for drivers across Ealing, from the Broadway to Ealing Common. WhatsApp 07533 280206 with your registration and MOT due date to get started.
How our MOT service works for Ealing drivers
We are not an MOT test station ourselves. Instead, we keep the MOT simple from one garage: we book your MOT at an authorised MOT test centre nearby, and we handle the work around it at our Perivale workshop.
- Pre-MOT check: a pre-MOT inspection looks over items the MOT covers, such as lights, tyres, brakes and wipers, before the test.
- MOT repairs: if something needs fixing before or after the test, we can carry out the MOT repairs.
- Rust and body damage: corrosion or sharp edges on the body structure can be an MOT issue, and our bodywork and welding repairs cover that.
Coming from Ealing Broadway, Ealing Common or West Ealing? Message 07533 280206 on WhatsApp with your registration and MOT due date and we will suggest a time. Our MOT page has more detail.
Checking when your MOT is due
Most cars need their first MOT by the third anniversary of registration, then every year. You can get an MOT up to a month (minus a day) before it runs out and keep the same renewal date, according to GOV.UK. Check your car’s due date and MOT history on the GOV.UK MOT history service.
Serving Ealing from our Perivale workshop
Ealing and Perivale are both in the London Borough of Ealing, but we want to be clear about where we are. Our only workshop is at MH Auto Repair Centre Ltd., Unit 17, Fleetway Business Park, 14–16 Wadsworth Rd, Perivale, Greenford UB6 7LD. We do not have a branch in Ealing, so customers bring their vehicle to us there. We do not quote journey times, so check your preferred route before you set off. If the car cannot be driven, message us to ask about vehicle recovery before you arrange anything else.
Bodywork damage that comes with busy streets
Town-centre roads, multi-storey car parks and narrow residential streets tend to leave the same kinds of marks on any car: scuffed bumpers, door dings, scraped alloys and low-speed knocks. Car body repair is what we do best, and the right fix depends on the damage:
- Small dents and creases: see our dent repair page
- Scuffs and scratches: covered by scratch repair
- Cracked or loose bumpers: our bumper repair service
- Kerbed alloy wheels: alloy wheel repair and refurbishment
- Faded or damaged paintwork: car paint repair
You can see everything we cover on our car body repairs hub. If the damage came from a collision with another vehicle, our page on insurance repairs explains how the process can work.
Servicing and fault finding for Ealing drivers
If you commute or do the school run from Ealing, it helps to have one garage for the everyday jobs as well as the bodywork. We offer car servicing to keep up with routine maintenance, and vehicle diagnostics when a warning light appears. Tyres and suspension repairs are available too if the ride feels rough or the tread is wearing. If your MOT is due as well, mention it on WhatsApp and we can arrange both.
What to expect from MH Auto Repair Centre
We are a family-run business and our technicians bring around six years of relevant experience. A free vehicle inspection is available, and we aim to give you a clear quotation after we have looked at the car. Genuine parts are used where appropriate, and completed repair work carries a 6-month warranty. Replacement vehicle options may be available where applicable, so ask when you get in touch. Repair times depend on the job and some may take around 3–5 days; we will advise after inspection.
How to get a quote
- Message us on WhatsApp on 07533 280206.
- Tell us the make, model and registration of the car.
- Add photos of the damage, or describe the problem in a sentence or two.

MOT and garage questions from Ealing drivers
Do you have a garage in Ealing?
No. Our only workshop is in Perivale/Greenford, at Unit 17, Fleetway Business Park, 14–16 Wadsworth Road, Perivale, Greenford UB6 7LD. Ealing drivers bring their vehicles there; we do not have an Ealing branch.
What should I send on WhatsApp for a body repair quote?
The make, model and registration, a few clear photos from different angles, and a short note about how the damage happened. That lets us tell you what we think is involved before you visit. A free vehicle inspection is available once the car is with us.
Can you help after a minor accident?
Yes, we repair accident damage, from bumper and panel damage to paintwork. If another driver was involved and you are thinking about a claim, read our guide to insurance repairs or message us with the details.
Can I book an MOT from Ealing?
Yes. Message us on WhatsApp on 07533 280206 with your registration and MOT due date, and we book your MOT at an authorised MOT test centre nearby. Our MOT page explains how it works. You can check a vehicle’s MOT history and due date on GOV.UK.
Do you carry out the MOT test at your workshop?
No. We are not an MOT test station. We book your MOT at an authorised MOT test centre nearby, and we do the pre-MOT check and any MOT repairs ourselves at our Perivale workshop.
What happens if my car fails its MOT?
It depends on what the tester finds. GOV.UK says you can only drive the car away if your current MOT is still valid and no “dangerous” problems were listed; otherwise it must be repaired first. We can carry out the MOT repairs at our workshop and arrange the retest.
Ready to get your car looked at?
Send us a message with photos and a few details and we will suggest the best next step, or contact the workshop another way.
