Expert MG Maintenance Services
Keeping your MG car properly maintained protects both its performance and your manufacturer's warranty coverage. Most MG models need attention annually or every 12,000 miles - if you’re unsure, your vehicle handbook will confirm the exact schedule for your car.Â
Regular check-ups prevent small issues from escalating into expensive repairs while keeping your MG running as intended. As such, we ensure your car’s maintenance happens at optimal intervals. This timing allows us to replace wear items and fluids before they degrade, helping maintain reliability year after year.
Every service follows MG's detailed technical procedures. We inspect the vehicle’s most important systems, catching potential problems early when they're simpler and cheaper to address. Throughout your ownership, we build thorough digital records that will help maintain your car’s value when you're ready to sell or trade further down the line.
MOT Tests for Your MG in Inverness
Our approved MOT testing facility is built to examine all MG models against full DVSA requirements. Testing is conducted impartially, and we take time to explain any advisories or failures clearly. Before any repair work begins, you'll receive transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden charges.
We appreciate that combining your MOT and service appointment can save you time and hassle, so we are always happy to arrange everything together to minimise disruption for you. Our manufacturer knowledge means we often spot MG-specific concerns that independent garages might overlook, providing an extra layer of safety and reliability.

Repairs and Diagnostics for Every MG Model
When vehicle problems arise, we diagnose them using MG's own technical equipment for accurate fault-finding. Our capabilities span everything from straightforward brake replacements to intricate electrical troubleshooting, plus specialised battery diagnostics for electric and hybrid variants. Whatever your MG needs, we have both the know-how and the proper tools.
Here at Dicksons, we use Genuine MG Parts that guarantee correct fitment and lasting performance. Generic aftermarket alternatives might cost less initially, but genuine parts maintain your car's integrity and protect MG's exceptional 7-year/80,000-mile warranty coverage.
Electric and Hybrid MG Servicing Specialists
Scotland's electric vehicle adoption continues growing, and MG leads the charge toward accessible, affordable EV motoring. We're fully equipped for the brand's impressive electrified lineup: the MG4 EV, MG ZS EV, MGS5 EV, and the phenomenally successful MG ZS Hybrid+.Â
Electric and hybrid MGs need different care than conventional vehicles.

Our expert technicians also share practical advice on range optimisation and charging habits to help you get maximum value from your electric MG.
With over 100,000 MG electric vehicles now on UK roads, the brand has proven that zero-emission motoring can be practical, affordable, and genuinely enjoyable - values we're proud to support here in the Scottish Highlands.
