Car Servicing, MOT Testing & Vehicle Repairs Serving Flitwick, Bedfordshire

DVSA-Approved • IRTE-Accredited • Serving the MK45 Postcode Area

If you live or work in Flitwick and need a garage you can genuinely rely on, UK Truck & Plant Group is your nearest DVSA-approved, IRTE-accredited workshop. Our facility on Ampthill Road, Bedford is approximately 10 miles from Flitwick town centre — around 15–18 minutes via the A507 and A6 — and serves Flitwick drivers with everything from routine car servicing and same-day MOT testing to full HGV repairs and 24/7 breakdown recovery. Flitwick is a market town in central Bedfordshire with a population of around 13,000, sitting in the MK45 postcode between Ampthill and Bedford. It’s well connected by both road and rail — Flitwick station sits on the Midland Main Line, making it a popular base for commuters heading into London, Bedford, and beyond. With that level of daily road use, reliable vehicle servicing within easy reach matters. While Flitwick has some local garages for routine work, options for DVSA-approved HGV testing, IRTE-accredited repairs, and 24/7 breakdown recovery are limited in the immediate area — which is where we come in.
