A Brief History of SEAT
Founded in 1950 in Spain with backing from the government and Fiat, SEAT (Sociedad Española de Automóviles de Turismo) quickly became Spain’s national carmaker. Their early models were Fiat-licensed builds, but by the 1980s, SEAT had developed its own identity with models like the Ibiza. In 1986, the Volkswagen Group acquired a controlling stake in SEAT, boosting its global reputation and technology offering.
Today, SEAT is known for its sporty styling, affordability, and innovation, especially with the launch of their performance-focused sub-brand CUPRA. Innovation, precision, consistency, and long-term performance can describe SEAT, qualities we support through our exceptional SEAT services at Elite Garages.

Our SEAT Services
SEAT MOT Testing
If your SEAT is three years or older, it requires an annual MOT by law. Our certified testers check everything from emissions to suspension and brakes—giving you peace of mind your vehicle is safe and roadworthy. Whether you drive a SEAT Leon or Ateca, we’re familiar with common MOT faults across the range. Book your SEAT MOT online.
SEAT Repairs & Diagnostics
Modern SEAT models come packed with advanced electronics. If you see warning lights or feel something’s off, our diagnostic tools can pinpoint issues quickly which saves you time and money. From engine faults to intermittent electrical problems, our technicians are trained to get you back on the road safely. As part of our SEAT services, you can book engine diagnostics at an Elite Garages near you.
SEAT Brake Services
Noticed squeaks, grinding or longer stopping distances? Your SEAT’s braking system is key to staying safe. We inspect and replace brake pads, discs, and fluids—especially important if you’re commuting regularly or navigating steep or stop-start roads. Don’t leave it too late—brake wear isn’t always audible. Need new brakes for a SEAT? Book a brake replacement service now!
SEAT Services for Clutch Replacement
Clutch slipping, biting late, or juddering? These are all signs your SEAT clutch may need adjusting or replacing. We offer full clutch inspections and repairs across all SEAT models, using parts that match SEAT’s engineering standards. Contact an Elite Garages branch near you for a clutch repair or replacement.
SEAT Cambelt and Timing Chain Service
If your SEAT uses a cambelt, it will need replacing at specific mileage intervals to avoid costly engine damage. Some models are fitted with a timing chain instead so our technicians will check and advise based on your vehicle model and age. Cambelt replacement is not usually part of annual SEAT services but rather preventative maintenance worth staying on top of as a snapped cambelt can cause serious and expensive engine damage. Book your SEAT cambelt service at Elite Garages now.
SEAT Battery Replacement
Flat battery? Dashboard warnings? A weak or ageing battery is one of the most common reasons for car breakdowns. We test and replace SEAT batteries with OE-quality options, ensuring your car starts reliably, especially during cold mornings or low-mileage usage. Get a new battery for your SEAT from Elite Garages.
SEAT Exhaust & Emissions Checks
Ensure your SEAT remains efficient and environmentally friendly with our thorough exhaust and emissions inspections. We examine the entire system for signs of leaks, rust, or blockages; issues that can affect performance and emissions compliance. As with all SEAT services, we use high-quality parts compatible with your SEAT model to restore optimal function and keep you compliant with UK regulations.
SEAT Air Conditioning Service
Poor airflow or warm air from your A/C? We offer regassing, system sanitisation, and leak detection to keep your SEAT’s aircon performing efficiently year-round. A clean and pressurised system isn’t just for comfort—it helps avoid expensive compressor repairs later. Book an aircon regas for your SEAT today!
ADAS Calibration for SEAT Cars
ADAS features like lane-keep assist or adaptive cruise control need recalibrating after certain services like alignment or windscreen replacement. As part of our specialist SEAT services, we provide full calibration and diagnostics to maintain your safety features. You can book an ADAS calibration at Fareham, Salisbury, and Southampton, with more branches to follow.
SEAT Wheel Alignment
Hitting kerbs or potholes can throw off your wheel alignment, leading to poor handling and uneven tyre wear. If your steering feels off-centre or the car pulls to one side, it’s time to book a laser wheel alignment check. Keep your SEAT driving straight and true with a two- or four-wheel alignment at Elite Garages.
SEAT Tyres
Your SEAT’s performance and safety depend on quality tyres. We stock top brands like Continental, Bridgestone, and Michelin to match to your driving needs. Whether you want low rolling resistance for fuel economy or sportier grip for handling, we’ve got the right tyres for your SEAT. Simply visit our tyre brands page for more information and pricing on all of the available tyres.
Which Tyres Should I Buy For My SEAT?
Your SEAT’s performance, safety, and fuel efficiency all depend on having the right tyres. At Elite Garages, we offer expert tyre advice and fitting as part of our trusted SEAT services. Whether you’re driving an agile Ibiza, a spacious Ateca, or a sporty Leon, we’ll recommend tyres suited to your model, driving habits, and seasonal requirements. Here are a few popular choices:
