Booking is easy. You can contact 1Stop Motor Shop on 07951 728365, complete our online booking form or drop into our garage at Unit 12, Highgate Business Park, Mallusk, BT36 4GN.

We recommend pre‑booking because our workshop is often busy. However if it’s an emergency and you’re nearby, pop in and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

General guidelines for Car Serving suggest an interim service every six months or 6,000 miles and a full service every 12 months or 12,000 miles a major service every two years helps cover items such as spark plugs and fuel filters. We offer:

• Interim Service – ideal for high‑mileage drivers; includes oil and filter change, fluid top‑ups, brake and tyre inspection, and a complimentary health check.
   
• Full Service – a thorough annual check, including replacement of brake fluid, air and pollen filters, spark plugs or fuel filter (depending on engine type), suspension and steering inspection, and computer diagnostics.
   
• Major Service – comprehensive servicing every two years with all items from a full service plus additional component checks.

If you drive a high‑performance, European or classic vehicle, we can tailor the service schedule to manufacturer specifications. Always consult your owner’s manual for the exact intervals and feel free to ask us for guidance.
 

Cars over three years old require an annual MOT test. We provide a pre‑MOT inspection and prep using DVLA‑compliant equipment to check brakes, suspension, lights and safety features.

When you book, we’ll advise whether a free health check or a more detailed MOT preparation is appropriate.

Our technicians will highlight any defects and, with your approval, fix them before the test. If your MOT is due within 30 days of its expiration, the renewal date will carry over so you won’t “lose” any time.

Use the NI direct MOT checker if you’re unsure of your due date.

Our experienced mechanics cover the full spectrum of car repairs.

We regularly carry out brake and clutch replacement, exhaust repair, shock absorber and suspension work, timing belt and chain replacement, gearbox and transmission repairs, cooling‑system fixes, battery replacement and electrical work.

Unlike some garages that only provide basic servicing, we can diagnose and repair complex issues on European cars (Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes) as well as Japanese, American and hybrid models.

Yes. A lit check‑engine lamp often indicates anything from a loose fuel cap to a serious misfire.

Our state‑of‑the‑art engine diagnostic equipment interfaces with manufacturer‑specific systems to read fault codes, test sensors and identify intermittent electrical issues.

After diagnosis we’ll explain the problem and give you a transparent quote before any work begins. No jargon, just clear advice.

Most modern engines can go 5,000–7,500 miles between oil changes, and full‑synthetic oils may last up to 15,000 miles.

We recommend checking oil and coolant levels monthly. Brake fluid should be replaced every two years, and transmission fluid should be checked according to your manufacturer’s schedule.

During any service we inspect and top up all fluids to keep your engine healthy.

• Brake pads: replace every 10,000–20,000 miles depending on driving style; rotors usually last 50,000–70,000 miles.
• Air filter: typically every 20,000 - 40,000 miles.
• Battery: expect a lifespan of around three years, though climate and driving style can shorten this.
• Tyres: most tyres last anywhere from 20,000–50,000 miles; any tyre over 10 years old should be replaced regardless of mileage. Check tyre pressures monthly and rotate tyres periodically.

If you’re unsure about the condition of any component, book a free health check and our technicians will measure remaining life, advise on safety and recommend replacements only when necessary.

Absolutely. We stock a range of budget, mid‑range and premium tyres and provide wheel balancing and puncture repair.

Our tyre‑fitting service is backed by experienced, five‑star rated mechanics – similar to competitor garages that specialise in tyre supply and fitting.

Whether you drive a city car, 4×4 or performance vehicle, we’ll find the right tyre at a competitive price. If you suspect a slow puncture, call in for a quick repair.

Yes. Over time refrigerant levels drop by around 10% a year, reducing cooling performance and potentially damaging compressor seals.

We recommend an A/C service every two years. Our certified technicians can re‑gas, replace cabin filters, treat bacterial build‑up and carry out leak tests. We service R‑134a systems found on most vehicles.

A well‑maintained air‑conditioning system keeps your car comfortable and prevents fogging of the windscreen.

Our team includes Level 3 and Level 4 qualified technicians with decades of combined experience.

Our technicians have undergone IMI‑accredited training to safely service and repair electric and hybrid vehicles, including battery diagnostics and high‑voltage system repairs.

We also love working on classic cars and performance cars, ensuring each vehicle receives the specialist care it deserves.

Yes. We stand over all our work. Other garages may offer a 90‑day warranty on repairs.

We go further by providing a 12‑month/12,000‑mile warranty (whichever comes first) on all parts supplied and fitted by us, plus a workmanship guarantee.

We use genuine or high‑quality aftermarket parts and will happily explain the warranty terms before starting any job.

If you experience any issues after your visit, contact 1Stop Motor Shop ASAP and we’ll put it right.

Transparency is a core value for us. We provide free, no‑obligation estimates before any work is carried out.

Once we’ve diagnosed the problem we’ll itemise parts and labour and obtain your approval before proceeding. If we discover unexpected issues, we’ll discuss options with you rather than surprising you with a large bill.

We accept major debit and credit cards.

We encourage you to book ahead for servicing and MOT preparation because we’re usually busy.

That said, if you have a problem or an emergency please call or drop in – our friendly staff will always try to help.
