We have joined HEVRA

Being part of the HEVRA – – the Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Repair Alliance – network of approved independent garages that offers servicing, repair and maintenance of Electric and Hybrid vehicles provides consumer confidence. Staff are trained to the highest IMI-approved Level 3 & 4 in Diagnostics Testing and Repair of Electric/Hybrid Vehicles and Components.

As HEVRA members we have access to a wide range of resources and training to keep looking after your vehicle

We are also the only SERMI-accredited garage in Thanet – covering Broadstairs, Margate, Ramsgate, Westgate, Birchington, and surrounding villages – which means we have access to many main dealer platforms to access a plethora of technical information. The professional tooling we have on site is the same as what main dealers have within their workshop which means we enjoy access to same access to information as manufacturers, but can offer a personalised, honest service, without the main dealer pricing, and offering the convenience of a garage close to where you live.

Other garages will be unable to complete various tasks, including software updates and works, due to the restriction on vehicle ECU access, and lack of information available to them due to the changes which came into force on 01 April 2026.

Our price structure reflects the constant investment in training for our highly-skilled technicians, adhering to the Bosch quality standards, ensuring our equipment and tooling is calibrated and suitable for the needs of the works being carried out.

Broadstairs MOT Centre has the most extensive example of tooling for specific jobs than any other garage in the locality.

Broadstairs MOT Centre is the only garage in Thanet who is a member of HEVRA, Bosch EV and the 1Tec Autohub garage networks. The networks offer access to resources, technical bulletins and tooling specific for EV & Hybrid.

Independent garages must meet specific requirements in order to join the networks; and must demonstrate clear working procedures and regular training to stay at the forefront of the automotive technological advancements.

If you have an EV or Hybrid, you can be confident our staff have the relevant qualifications and tooling to look after your vehicle. For more information, please call 01843 602190.
