Road users in the Morden area have a number of choices with where to take their business, whenever they’re in need of proactive or reactive garage services, in the former camp, diagnostics and car repairs when things go wrong, and in the latter car servicing and testing from local MOT centres. These include independent local garages, dealerships, specialist garages, and fast-fits.
Morden’s Garth Road MOT is a local, independent garage offering a complete range of garage services, including said car repairs and car servicing. But why should you opt for a garage like our own, and not a fast-fit or dealership? In this inaugural blog post, we look to answer exactly that question!
Why Choose an Independent Garage?
Pricing– Ask anyone who has shopped around for garage services, and they’ll tell you small independent garages are the place to go if you want to get true bang for your buck; this goes for car repairs, car servicing, or whether you’re in need of certification from an MOT centre. Why is this? Well speaking for ourselves as one of Morden’s leading independent garages, it’s because our overheads are significantly less daunting than those you’ll find at a sprawling dealership or fast-fit, which often serves a much larger client base and has a correspondingly larger team and premises. We look to pass on the savings we make to our customers. Our independence also allows us to cook up car servicing and MOT packages specifically designed to offer an alternative to local competitors…
Friendly, Personal Garage Services – At dealerships and fast-fits you often feel like you’re nothing more than a number in the queue: you’re often rushed in and out, and aren’t always sure exactly what it is you’ve paid for. But we pride ourselves on being the friendly, personable garage in Morden… When you visit us for anything from car repairs to car servicing, MOT testing to a new set of tyres, you’ll have one-to-one contact with a local mechanic who will tailor the required garage services to you and your vehicle’s unique needs, explaining things clearly and concisely. Transparency is always the name of the game at Garth Road MOT.
Local Means Local – Across most sectors, independent businesses are increasingly challenged by the aggressive expansion strategies of large corporations; providers of garage services have done fairly well in resisting being uprooted, but it’s still important to shop local if you like having a colourful array of local businesses who care about the community in Morden. By choosing us as your MOT centre, and for car servicing and car repairs, you’re supporting individuals who live, work and have family in the immediate area. This makes us more invested in the quality of work we provide you than those who only care about a profit, so it really is a win-win.
