Elite Garages Pulborough is one of our Pirelli Performance Centres offering expertise and customer service second to none.

What Services Can Elite Garages Pulborough Offer?
Mark believes that doing the job right the first time is key to success and that extends to the entire team at the Pulborough MOT and car servicing centre. They have the necessary knowledge, skills and experience to provide MOTs, car services, tyres, clutches, brakes and cambelts.
The team helps customers with a range of issues including cars and vans that don’t run properly with vibrations, strange banging and clonking sounds. They also do a lot of puncture repairs, tyre replacements, balancing and alignment as some of the roads in Pulborough aren’t in great condition.
In terms of car servicing, the Pulbourgh branch performs several standard and premium services along with an average of 8 MOTs per day. Vehicle safety checks are another popular choice, especially tyre pressure and fluid levels. Often when people go away for the weekend or up the motorway, they pop in for a free check.
The Importance Of MOT Reminders
Since MOTs are a legal requirement, it’s important to make sure they’re up to date and Elite Garages is here to help. Many Pulborough customers have said the free MOT reminder service is extremely beneficial, especially since Covid extensions.
Signing up to the Elite Member’s Club is free and entitles customers to receive an MOT reminder via text and email along with any special offers or discounts. A customer recently walked in mentioning the text reminder she received and was so grateful as she had completely forgotten about it.
The MOT diary fills up fast with the most common MOT fails being wipers, headlights, tyres and suspension. Fortunately, customers can book a service to repair or replace and get a free MOT retest if it’s done within 10 days. To make things even easier, our new website enables you to book an MOT online.
Tyre Fitment Centre Pulborough
As a Pirelli Performance Centre, Pulborough may specialise in high-performance tyres but they also offer a wide variety of budget tyres, mid-range tyres and premium tyres. They stock all the major brands including Bridgestone, Sailwins and Rapids which are particularly popular. These are particularly great quality and “we’ve never had any customer come back with complaints after fitting Rapid tyres.”
The tyre specialists at Pulborough service centre will take time to explain the differences between budget and premium tyres and find the best option in terms of budget and driving needs. They will also explain the risks if someone asks about part-worn tyres as these are not the safest option and you’ll end up paying more in the long term.

Funny Moments From Elite Garages Pulborough
One customer said they’re going to repair the sill on their car and asked: “Can I fill it with concrete? That’s what I’ve done the other side.”
“My car is making a noise, can you sort it out?” We figured out that foxes had chewed through the brake hoses which is quite common.
Other situations involved rodents eating the electrics in the car, nesting inside and that includes squirrels. Then we have to call the customer to say, “Do you realise a squirrel is living in your car?”
We’ve even had mice eat through the washer hose and washer wires.
