MOT completed and car ready within the specified time scale.staff are great and helpful, this is the 2nd time I have used Monter Gear for my Nissan Leaf. i would recomend anyone to book here.
No one contacted me to organise the time to drop my car off for the MOT so I didn’t go. Not a great service and I would say that bookmygarage isn’t that reliable.

What Car Repairs Can I Book in Bristol?
As well as the repairs above, garages and mechanics in Bristol can help with everything from everyday jobs to more specialist work, including:
Brake repairs. Squealing, grinding or a soft pedal are all signs your brakes need checking.
Exhaust repairs. An exhaust that’s louder than usual or rattling often points to a leak, a worn silencer or a broken mounting.
Battery repairs. Trouble starting, or a battery that keeps going flat, usually means the battery or charging system needs testing.
Not Sure What's Wrong?
Book a General Repair. Your chosen garage will inspect your car and give you a quote before any work starts. Add anything you’ve noticed to the Notes for Garage box, like when a noise happens or which warning light is on, to help the mechanic find the fault faster. If your engine management light is on, a diagnostic check in Bristol is a good first step.
What Affects the Cost of a Car Repair in Bristol?
The price of a car repair comes down to four things: the repair itself, your car’s make and model, the parts it needs and the garage’s hourly labour rate. Garages in the listing above show their hourly labour rate, so you can compare like for like before you book.
