MOT Testing
We are delighted to announce that our new state of the art MOT station is now completed and up and running!
The MOT test is an examination of your vehicle to ensure it meets the minimum standards required to be allowed on the road. The Vehicle and Operating Services Agency (VOSA) are responsible for setting these standards, and monitoring both the MOT testing station and the MOT tester. All VOSA approved MOT testers have a regular quality check carried out to ensure a consistent professional level of care.
Book now to have your MOT test carried out at our state of the art new MOT station!
If you’re an existing customer and we have your email we’ll send out a reminder ahead of your renewal, but you can always check the status of your MOT yourself.
Servicing & Repairs
We offer a comprehensive level of service that gives our customers a far more cost effective option than the main Dealer network offers. We can even uphold your new vehicle warranty! We follow all manufacturer’s service schedules, including timing belt changes, diagnostic checks, air conditioning checks and brake fluid changes. We also offer our own “tailored” service schedules to suit your vehicle’s needs.
Specialising in repairing and replacing worn brakes, exhausts, suspension and tyres, all replacement parts are brought from our trusted partners and are of the highest standard, conforming to Original Equipment specification. Over time key parts such as the cambelt, clutch, gearbox and head gasket can wear, our mechanics can inspect your vehicle and offer accurate and honest advice whether a repair is required.
As standard, we also update digital service records for all makes as required.
Tyres & Exhausts
We offer a comprehensive range of branded and budget tyres for almost any car at very competitive prices. We will change all tyres whatever the size and profile, run flats included – whilst you wait and we can align your steering too.
Our fully qualified technicians will inspect your tyres as part of a service check and asses the condition, tread depth and air pressure. We will also adjust your tyre pressures to the correct spec, report any tyres considered worn or dangerous, and provide you with a quote for replacement.
Regular tyre pressure checks will help prolong the life of your vehicle’s tyres. Under-inflation is one of the main causes of uneven premature wear on your vehicles tyres. It only takes five minutes and a check once or twice a month should be enough.
Wheel Alignment
Is your car pulling to one side? Are your tyres not wearing in a uniform manner? Iit may be time to book a laser wheel alignment service with Semtech Motors. Your wheels maybe incorrectly aligned and correct alignment is important as it reduces friction on the road helping to optimise your vehicles fuel consumption and tyre life.
Incorrect wheel alignment may cause your car to "pull" to one side and adversely impact the handling and safety of your vehicle. Your car's wheel tracking can easily be altered by hitting some potholes or kerbs - so an annual check makes sense if you want to ensure your car's steering and suspension is correctly aligned and ensuring your tyres do not wear prematurely or unevenly.
Vehicle Diagnostics
Booking your vehicle in for a diagnostic assessment is advised if you are experiencing faults and warning lights on your dashboard. At Semtech Motors, our highly trained and experienced mechanics are able to conduct accurate diagnostic testing to find and repair any fault.
As a leading diagnostic specialist in Kirkintilloch, with the use of the latest tools and equipment, our team can find faults by reading into your vehicles computer and following manufacturers test procedures.

Brakes
Semtech Motors have trained technicians and all the relevant equipment to check and fix any problems with your brake systems. If you have any concerns over the functionality of your brakes, please don't hesitate to contact us for a free brake check.
Our qualified technicians carry out brake system inspections during every service inspection looking for excessive wear to brake pads and discs or drums and also testing the brake fluid. During MOT Tests the performance of your vehicle’s braking system is tested on a rolling road to measure the amount of braking force generated while operating the hand and foot brakes. The braking force generated is then recorded and must pass a minimum efficiency standard. Any reading or imbalance falling outside these tolerance levels will result in an MOT test failure.
Suspensions
The steering and suspension systems of a car are not only important for safety reasons but also to enhance the comfort of your car's ride. The two systems are directly related to each other, which is why they are often referred to together. Defective suspension and steering systems can compromise your control of your vehicle and your safety.
We offer a full diagnostic test using the latest measuring devices including our Wheel Alignment equipment to ensure your suspension and steering systems are in correct working order. Semtech Motors vehicle technicians have extensive experience and can optimise your vehicle suspension and steering to ensure that your vehicle is not only operating safely but enhance the handling, ride and steering of your vehicle to enhance your driving pleasure.
Batteries
Modern vehicles are becoming increasingly sophisticated and reliant on complex electronic systems which places increasing demands on your battery. Satellite navigation systems, in-car entertainment systems, modern lighting technology, driver aids and stop-start technology are all potential drains on your vehicle's battery if your charging system or battery itself is not in good health. Don't wait until your battery gives up the ghost - probably on a cold winter's night or morning! - Come down to our workshop for a free check on the health of your battery and charging system - and if there are any problems - we can supply and fit a new battery to keep you on the road over the winter - when you need the your battery most.
