Advertising ideas for my car workshop?

You can do two things:
1) Sell more to existing customers - so if someone books for an MOT send reminders about your servicing service, if they have servicing remind them about your MOT/repair service.

2) Find new customers - encourage referrals - you can just ask, hand out business cards etc or offer a 10% off if you "refer a friend type" thing. Look at speaking with local dealerships to take any over-spill work from them, look at local companies to see if you can get some corporate work - same time/effort to get one customer as to get one customer who owns a fleet of 3/6/12 company vans

Maybe offer a pick up/drop off service if people would find that of value.
Provide a high quality service, at good value and people will recommend you.
