This single review highlights a technical issue where an MOT appointment made through the BookMyGarage app failed to reach the garage, leading to frustration with the booking platform rather than the garage itself. The reviewer advises booking directly with the garage to avoid similar problems. The feedback doesn't reflect on the quality of service provided by the garage, as no actual visit took place.

Customers repeatedly praise friendly, knowledgeable staff, clear communication and trustworthy, efficient work — common positives are quick MOT fixes, helpful advice (even when recommending not to repair), convenient drop‑off/lock‑box collection and good value. A minority of reviews, however, describe serious failings: one reports rude, hostile treatment (noting it felt gendered) and another says a booking wasn’t honoured, so inconsistent customer service is the main weakness.

Several customers praised the convenience of the mobile service and found the mechanics professional and efficient, with work completed quickly and any issues resolved promptly. A small number of reviewers raised concerns about incomplete servicing, suggesting that clearer communication about the scope of work may benefit customers' confidence in what has been carried out. Appointment scheduling could be improved, as a few customers experienced last-minute cancellations or slot changes that caused inconvenience.

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.
