Reviews Summary

Customers are overwhelmingly positive, repeatedly praising friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff, clear communication and fair, honest pricing. Frequent strengths cited include quick turnarounds for MOTs and repairs, reliable diagnostics and a trustworthy, reassuring service (several customers name staff like Sid and Raheem). A handful of negative reports flag poor paperwork/documentation, one expensive oil‑change experience and a possible cash‑only practice, so clearer invoices and more payment options would help.

Reviews Summary

AI Generated

Customers largely praise the garage for friendly, helpful staff, prompt and professional work, clear communication (including videos and updates) and flexibility. A minority complained about unclear or misleading booking and warranty information — one said a promised year’s warranty required extra payment and another described a full service being advertised but only an interim being available — and a reviewer also noted a missed service wash. The garage is generally trusted and recommended, but clarifying pricing and warranty wording would remove the main sources of dissatisfaction.

Reviews Summary

Customers frequently praise friendly, helpful and professional staff, noting quick, efficient MOTs and services and many five‑star recommendations. Several reviews, though, describe inconsistent experiences — booking and communication problems (including calls routed to the wrong office), occasional refusal to carry out small jobs and at least one dispute over unexpected extra charges. Taken together the feedback suggests strong customer-facing service on most visits but occasional lapses in communication and pricing transparency.

Frequently asked questions

What do the Tier badges mean?

We recognise the very best performing garages in your area with a Silver, Gold or Top Tier badge. These badges help you spot garages that deliver customer service that goes above and beyond for drivers, offering great value, high standards and satisfaction/high ratings.

When do I pay for my MOT?

We never ask for payment details upfront.

Once you’ve chosen your garage, you deal with them directly from start to finish, paying only after the work is complete – giving you full peace of mind.

Some mobile technicians may request some commitment or payment upfront to cover the costs of them coming out to you.

Do Bolton test centres offer convenience options to make my appointment easier?

Whether you need your car every day or simply want a hassle-free experience, our garages are here to make car care effortless. Where possible, they offer:
• Collection and delivery services
• Same- or next-day appointments
• Saturday availability

And with our comprehensive sort and filter options, we make it easy for you to choose the right garage, fast – whatever you or your car needs.

Do you provide a reminder service?

If your MOT expiry date is one more thing to worry about, you can opt-in to our free email reminder service when you check out. That way, you’ll get personalised reminders before next year’s test, ensuring you never forget another inspection.

Can I compare test centres another way?

Absolutely. True value looks different to everyone so, whether you want the nearest garage, the best-rated option or the lowest price, you can use the Sort By menu in the top-right corner to compare results by Price, Distance, Availability or Reviews - whatever matters most to you.

Can I reschedule my MOT booking?

You can change your booking details right up until the appointment date. You’ll find instructions in the confirmation email you received or in your BookMyGarage account. Your chosen garage will contact you to acknowledge the amendment and re-confirm your booking.

Can I take my car to a different garage if it fails its MOT?

Yes, as long as your MOT certificate hasn’t expired, you can take your car elsewhere for repairs and retesting.

What does 'BMG Verified' mean?

Garages marked as BMG Verified have been physically visited and vetted by our team to ensure they meet clear service standards.
