The majority of recent reviewers praise this garage for its competitive pricing, clear communication, and smooth overall experience, with several highlighting the quality of work and helpfulness of the team. One reviewer, however, found that being informed of issues preventing their MOT only after a two-hour wait was frustrating, and the garage may benefit from carrying out preliminary checks earlier to save customers unnecessary time.

Most customers report a smooth, professional experience with friendly staff, clear communication, and good value, with several highlighting the video health check and easy online check-in as particular positives. However, a recurring theme across a notable number of reviews is poor proactive communication, with customers having to chase for updates when their vehicle was ready or when issues were identified. Booking and administrative accuracy could also benefit from closer attention, as several reviewers encountered problems with incorrect dates, undelivered extras, or pricing that could not be honoured.

Customers consistently praise DP Garage for friendly, professional staff, fast turnaround and clear communication — many reviews mention helpful videos, transparent pricing and convenient collection/delivery, with numerous recommendations and repeat bookings. Few negatives crop up: the online booking shows only AM/PM rather than exact times, a couple of customers noted bank‑transfer payment was odd, and there’s a recurring warning about parking on a nearby private road that can attract fines.

The majority of customers are highly satisfied with this garage, consistently praising the friendly, communicative staff, efficient turnaround times, and competitive pricing across MOTs, servicing, and repairs. A small number of reviewers raised concerns about booking system reliability, with appointments occasionally not appearing on the garage's system, and the team may benefit from clearer processes around online bookings and confirmation to avoid confusion on arrival. A handful of customers also noted inconsistency in staff manner, suggesting that more uniform customer-facing training could help ensure every visitor receives the welcoming experience that the majority of reviewers describe.

Generally, an MOT takes between 45 and 60 minutes, an interim service around 1 hour, a full service between 2-3 hours, and a major service 3-4 hours.
Your MOT and service will take longer if your vehicle needs any repairs, or the garages is quite busy and can’t begin the work right away.
All our reviews are unfiltered and verified, so you’re always seeing a fair picture of other drivers’ experiences with each garage.
• Switch all the lights on to find any broken or dim bulbs and replace.
• Ensure your car has plenty of fuel.
• Ensure your car has engine oil and other vital fluids (screen wash, coolant, brake fluid etc) and top up if required.
• Ensure the tyres are not damaged or excessively worn.
• Ensure the interior is clean and tidy.
• Check for scratches on the bodywork or chips and cracks on the glass.
You can also ensure you have paper copies of any important documentation to hand (in the unlikely event that a garage needs to see it) and provide a service book for them to stamp after your service and a locking wheel nut in case they need to remove the tyres.
In most cases, the result of your MOT will be live within a couple of hours. You can source this via the BookMyGarage User Portal or through our free MOT Checker.
If you need access to a car during your MOT and service appointment, make sure you choose a garage that can provide loan cars. These will be clearly marked in the comparison results, and you can enable a filter on the left-hand side to only see garages in your area that offer this option.
Make sure you confirm with the garage that they have loan car availability during your preferred appointment to avoid disappointment.
Most importantly, we only work with garages that hold themselves to the same high standards that we do and remove those that let customers down or fail to honour prices. That means when you book through BookMyGarage, you get the most reliable MOT and service in Northampton.
