About Mendem Motors
All my current technicians have been with me for a considerable time — some for over 18 years. Most trained with me from the start as apprentices and attended Basingstoke College of Technology to gain their City & Guilds qualifications.
Jordan, Scott, Olivia, Carl, Mark, and Josh are all fully qualified technicians. Jordan and Scott have both achieved the Level 4 qualification in electric vehicle diagnosis and repair. Mark is our dedicated MOT Tester.
As a forward-thinking independent vehicle repairer, I firmly believe that keeping ahead of the competition means continued investment in both training and the latest equipment — especially with the rapid advancement of modern vehicle electronics and systems.
We invest heavily in specialist tools designed for the correct removal and installation of suspension components and bushes, as well as timing belt and chain tools. Not having the right equipment can cause serious — and costly — damage. Unfortunately, we often see this kind of damage during vehicle inspections.
Our workshop is equipped with the latest MOT One-Man Testing Lane, which includes fully computerised shock absorber testing, complete with graphical printouts.
We use the most up-to-date diagnostic tools from AUTOCOM, SNAP-ON, LAUNCH, and AUTEL — all kept current with the latest software releases.
Tyre changing is carried out using top-of-the-range Hoffman equipment, capable of handling tyres up to 22 inches in diameter and 16 inches in width, including run-flats, without damaging the rims.
We’ve also invested in Hoffman 3D four-wheel infrared alignment equipment — a premium system that provides precise front and rear alignment for modern steering and suspension setups. Correct alignment helps ensure proper tyre wear, safe handling, and optimal fuel economy.
We now operate two top-of-the-range dual-gas air conditioning machines. This allows us to increase our daily service capacity and avoid disappointing customers if a machine is out of service for repair or calibration.
Our new automatic air conditioning flushing machine means we can now offer full system flushing. Whatever your system requires, we can provide the appropriate repair — and we include a 12-week gas guarantee against leaks for added peace of mind.
All our technicians are fully qualified and F-gas certified, as legally required for working with air conditioning systems.
On the recovery side, we have recently withdrawn from our TVP contract. The rates offered and high fees from the management company made it impossible to maintain the standard of fleet and operators we require. However, we continue to operate for Hampshire Police.
Whatever your needs, we look forward to welcoming you.
