Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with customers repeatedly praising friendly, professional staff, clear communication (including helpful videos), and efficient, reliable workmanship. Several people name staff members (Andy, Bryony), note they were kept informed, appreciated flexibility around appointments and that they weren't pressured into unnecessary repairs.

MOT Centres in Bolton
Bolton is where city buzz meets moorland calm – and your car gets a workout on both. The A666 slices through the town centre as St Peter’s Way, whisking commuters down to Manchester in around half an hour. Head north and you’re climbing into the West Pennine Moors, where the roads twist, the views open up, and your brakes will thank you for being in top shape.
Closer to home, the A58 and A579 keep Bolton’s neighbourhoods connected, while the M61 is your fast track for longer trips. But it’s not all about getting from A to B – Bolton has plenty to pull you off course. Smithills Hall brings a slice of history, the Octagon Theatre delivers culture, and matchdays at the University of Bolton Stadium turn Horwich into a hive of activity.
And then there’s the Bolton Food and Drink Festival – a late‑August feast that takes over the town centre with street food, live music and celebrity chefs. It’s brilliant… unless you’re stuck in traffic wishing you’d booked that MOT earlier. A road‑ready car is your ticket to stress‑free driving in and around Bolton!

“I didn’t turn up for my appointment due to family issues. The garage phoned me and just told me to head over in an hour or so. So friendly. My car (as expected) failed its MOT.
