Complete Car Care in Cliftonville, Margate
At Cliftonville Auto Repairs, we provide a wide range of professional vehicle services designed to keep your car running safely, efficiently, and reliably. With over 15 years of experience, our team offers trusted repairs and maintenance to drivers across Thanet.
MOTs
We carry out thorough and efficient MOT tests to ensure your vehicle meets all legal safety and emissions standards. If your car is due for its MOT, bring it to us for a reliable inspection. Should anything need attention, we’ll explain exactly what’s needed and offer expert repairs to help you pass the test with minimal hassle.
Servicing
Regular servicing is key to keeping your car running smoothly and preventing more serious problems down the line. We offer full and interim service packages tailored to your vehicle’s age, mileage, and condition. From oil changes and filters to full system checks, we help you maintain your car’s performance and protect its long-term health.
Diagnostics
If your dashboard warning lights are on or your car isn’t running as it should, our diagnostic tools can quickly pinpoint the issue. We use up-to-date technology to scan your vehicle’s systems, helping us detect faults with the engine, electronics, sensors, and more. Fast, accurate fault-finding means quicker, more affordable repairs.
Brakes
Your brakes are one of the most vital safety systems in your vehicle. Whether you’ve noticed squealing, grinding, or reduced braking performance, we’re here to help. We inspect, repair, and replace brake pads, discs, and other components to make sure your vehicle stops safely and reliably in any driving conditions.
Clutches
Clutch issues can make your car difficult or dangerous to drive. If you’re experiencing slipping, sticking, or unusual noises while shifting gears, bring your car in for a clutch inspection. We diagnose clutch faults accurately and offer high-quality replacements or repairs to restore smooth gear changes and full control.
Exhausts
A damaged or worn exhaust system can affect performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions. If you’re hearing loud noises, noticing a drop in power, or smelling exhaust fumes, we’ll assess your system and carry out any needed repairs or replacements. A healthy exhaust system helps your car run cleaner and quieter.
Tyres
We supply, fit, and balance tyres for all makes and models, ensuring optimal grip and safety in all conditions. Whether you need a full set, a puncture repair, or just a tread check, we’ll take care of it. We also inspect your tyre pressure and wear to help improve fuel efficiency and reduce the risk of blowouts.
Air Conditioning
Stay comfortable all year round with our air conditioning services. We offer re-gassing, leak checks, and full servicing to ensure your system is blowing cold in summer and demisting properly in winter. A well-maintained A/C system not only keeps you cool — it also improves air quality inside your car.
Suspension
Worn suspension components can lead to poor handling, uneven tyre wear, and a bumpy ride. If your vehicle is pulling to one side or feels unstable, we’ll perform a full suspension check. From shocks and struts to springs and linkages, we repair or replace any faulty parts to restore a smooth, safe driving experience.
Electrical
Modern cars rely on complex electrical systems, and faults can appear anywhere from lighting to central locking, sensors, or the battery. We offer diagnostics and repairs for all electrical issues, big or small, to keep everything functioning as it should — including batteries, alternators, wiring, and fuses.
Vehicle Health Checks
Our comprehensive vehicle health checks are designed to give you peace of mind. We inspect key components including brakes, tyres, fluids, lights, and more. Whether you’re planning a long trip or just want to be sure your car is road-ready, our health checks help catch issues early and prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Winter & Summer Checks
Seasonal weather can put extra strain on your vehicle. Our winter and summer checks ensure your car is prepared for temperature extremes, road conditions, and seasonal challenges. We inspect your battery, coolant, tyres, wipers, and more — helping to keep your vehicle safe, efficient, and comfortable year-round.
