Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most. Anything else, call us on 020 3218 0077.
About us
Do you only work on the Toyota Prius?
No. We specialise in Toyota and Lexus hybrids (Prius, Auris, Yaris, Corolla, C-HR, RAV4, Lexus CT, IS, NX, RX) and electric vehicles, and we MOT, service and repair petrol and diesel cars and vans of all makes.
Where are you?
At 5 Constable Crescent, Tottenham, London N15 4QZ. We are open Monday to Friday 9:00 to 18:00 and Saturday 9:00 to 14:00.
Do you collect my car?
Yes. Collection and drop-off is free within 5 miles of our workshop in N15, and it is included in our £35 MOT.
Hybrid batteries
Can a hybrid battery be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. We test every module first. If only some modules are failing we can replace those and balance the pack, which costs far less than a new battery. We only recommend a full replacement when reconditioning is no longer viable.
What does a battery health check tell me?
The voltage and state of health of every module, how well the pack is balanced, and whether its cooling works. You get the results and a clear recommendation.
MOT
How much is an MOT?
£35, including free collection and drop-off within 5 miles.
Is the MOT different for a hybrid or electric car?
The MOT follows the same DVSA standard, and hybrid and EV systems are checked in line with DVSA guidelines. Our testers know these vehicles, so they are tested correctly and safely.
What happens if my car fails its MOT?
We explain every fail point and advisory and give you a no-obligation quote. Only necessary work is recommended, and the retest is free when the repairs are done with us.
