Exhausts
Bent to the car, not the catalogue.
They invested in specialised machinery to custom-bend exhausts, so a bespoke system can be made up in the workshop. Useful when a pattern part doesn't exist, or doesn't quite line up.
Services
Just about any car.
In addition to MOT testing, Stan's carry out services and general mechanical repairs. The list on the wall of the bay is not decorative.
Test
MOT tests
The bay board says MOTs from £45, classes 4, 5 and 7, with diesel tests and catalyst tests. The authorised test station number is 1AKX10. Ring before you set off — the price on the board is what they painted, and the day's slots fill from early.

Servicing
Stan's is not an MOT-only lane. Oil, filters, belts, brakes and the rest of a proper service happen in the same bays, on the same ramps you can see from Commercial Road.

Mechanical repairs
The services painted down the wall of the bay: air-con, clutches, timing belts, brakes, batteries, welding, servicing, recovery, exhausts, valets, suspension and tyres. If it rolls, they will look at it.
Open →Clean
Hydroflow engine clean
On petrol engines, built-up carbon is dissolved and burnt off in about half an hour, leaving the engine more responsive, smoother and cleaner running.

Bespoke exhausts
They invested in a bender so a one-off exhaust can be made up in the workshop rather than ordered in and hoped.

Brake disc skimming
The resurfacing machine works with the disc still on the car. Useful when a lip or a warp is the problem and a new pair of discs can wait.
Open →Sales
Used cars
Stock sits out front for you to peruse. It changes, so the cars in the photographs are the yard — not a promise of what's there this morning. Phone, or come down Sunday 10:00–13:00 when only sales are open.

Brakes
Skimmed without coming off.
The brake disc resurfacing machine skims discs on the car to remove rust, scoring, or distortion caused by warping. Ask them whether a skim is the right fix or whether the disc is finished.
