Harlington is only a short way south of our Hayes workshop, so if your car or van stops near the old village centre or Heathrow side, a phone call is the place to start.
Harlington keeps something of a village feel around its old centre, with cottages and narrow stretches, while the surrounding 1930s and post-war streets hold plenty of parked cars. Near Heathrow the roads also see a steady flow of vehicles that are not local. A breakdown here can mean awkward access, so it is worth thinking before you call anyone.
We are MTS Garage Services, a family-run independent garage at Chesterfield Way in Hayes, next door in practical terms. We repair cars and vans of all makes and models. Ring us in opening hours and we will ask a few questions, explain how recovery works and tell you what we would examine once the vehicle is in the workshop.
Get safe before anything else. If you are on a narrow road, switch on the hazards, stay clear of passing traffic and do not attempt repairs where you are blocking others. Jot down what the vehicle did, whether it lost power, made a noise or threw up a warning light. When you phone us in opening hours, we will ask what the vehicle is, where it stopped and whether it moves at all. We then explain how recovery to the Hayes workshop is arranged by phone. We do not give promised arrival times, so please confirm availability with us first.
Whether the problem is a seized engine, a failed gearbox, a snapped cambelt or damage from a collision, a vehicle that cannot be driven needs moving carefully. A recovery vehicle avoids the risk of turning one fault into three. Back at the workshop we diagnose the cause properly and explain it so you understand what happened. For cars damaged in an accident, we check for the less visible problems too. We then recommend the work and give you a clear estimate before we touch anything, leaving the decision with you.
Some Harlington vehicles need moving for reasons other than a roadside failure. A car may have been left for weeks and no longer starts, or an owner may be unable to drive a vehicle to us. Recovery and logistics are part of our service, so we can discuss moving it. We would like the make, the condition and the exact spot, including any narrow lane or tight drive. Please phone first to confirm availability, since what we can arrange depends on what else is booked in.
Harlington is an older village-style area south of Hayes, close to Heathrow, with cottages near the old centre and mostly 1930s and post-war housing around it. That proximity makes our Chesterfield Way workshop an easy place to bring a stricken vehicle. We also hear from drivers in Sipson, Harmondsworth and Cranford, and we know Hayes itself well. Call us during opening hours, describe where the vehicle is and we will explain what happens next.
We also help drivers with breakdown and vehicle recovery from nearby Hayes, Sipson, Harmondsworth, Cranford, and the garage in Hayes is the base for all of it.

It can. Tell us about the width, parked cars around it and whether the car steers. That lets us judge how it can be moved. We will explain what is possible when you phone.
Yes. After diagnosis we explain the fault, give a clear estimate and say plainly if the cost looks out of step with the vehicle. You can then choose how to proceed without pressure.
