A few drivers mention occasional booking mix-ups and say it can help to confirm exactly what a service includes and to check on quotes or additional work, so clear communication is worth asking for when you book.

Westbere Garage continues to earn praise for its friendly, knowledgeable staff and great value for money, with the free collection and delivery service and clear communication during MOTs and services frequently highlighted as real highlights. Most customers describe the work as efficient, honest and reasonably priced, often returning year after year and recommending the garage to others. That said, a number of reviewers have reported booking or scheduling issues, including last minute cancellations or appointments not being honoured, and a small number mention slow communication or delays when the garage gets particularly busy, so there may be room to tighten up diary management and keep customers updated during peak periods.

Most reviewers were very happy, praising the clear communication, fair pricing with no hidden extras and a thorough, helpful service, with several saying they would return. A small number of customers felt the communication around quotes and additional work could be clearer, and one reported that a full service seemed more like a health check, so confirming exactly what is included may help. An occasional booking mix-up and some doubts over recommended repairs were also raised, though these were not common themes.

Customers generally rated this garage as acceptable, with the work described as fine overall but marked by gaps in communication and thoroughness. A couple of reviewers noted that parts of the service were missed or recorded inaccurately, such as an unchanged fuel filter and an unchecked noise, and that arrival times and paperwork could be handled more clearly. These concerns were raised by only a small number of reviewers, so clearer confirmation of the work carried out and any customer requests may be all that is needed to improve the experience.

Compare Canterbury MOT Centres & Book an Appointment At the Best One Before Your Expiry Date to Ensure Your Vehicle is Road Legal
If your car is due an MOT test, you must book an appointment before the expiry date to continue driving on the roads around Canterbury. The test checks whether your car meets road safety and environmental standards, and you will be prosecuted if caught driving without a valid MOT certificate.
The only exception to this rule is if you are driving it to a garage for repairs after a failed test or to a pre-booked MOT.
Book your MOT well in advance to avoid the risk of missing your test date. You can book up to 12 months in advance through our online comparison site and find the best value for you on an MOT in Canterbury in the process by comparing deals.

If your car is less than three years old, you do not need an MOT but you can choose to book one if you wish.
If you book your MOT early, you get more time to fix any faults and ensure your car is still legal to drive on UK roads. However, if you book your MOT earlier than a month in advance, the expiry date will become the date of your most recent test.

If the repair is completed within 10 working days, either by the original garage or elsewhere and then you return to the original garage for a retest, you only need to pay for a partial MOT retest. This costs less than the full fee.
If you complete the repairs yourself and choose to take your car into a different test centre, you will need to pay for the full test again.
While you can book an MOT at any registered test centre in Canterbury that displays a sign with three interlocked white triangles on a blue background on their premises, this doesn’t guarantee the most reliable option. We would always recommend comparing all your options before deciding on the best one.
• Enter your reg and postcode at the top of the page.
• Compare local garages to choose the right MOT deal for your needs.
• Select a suitable garage, date and time and confirm your booking.
With BookMyGarage, you can book your MOT online in just a few clicks. There’s no need to wait for local garages to open to phone them up and compare deals manually – you can do it all in one place, 24/7, 365 days a year.
To see which garages offer MOT testing on weekends, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site and tick the boxes on the left-hand side marked ‘Saturday MOT’ or ‘Sunday MOT’. This will filter the results to only show the garages that can complete your MOT test on one of these days.
You will have to pay an additional fee for the repairs, which the garage will quote you for before beginning the process.
If you wish to complete the repairs yourself or take your vehicle to a different garage for the repairs, you must return to the original garage within 1 day for a free retest or 10 days for a partial MOT retest. This costs less than the initial MOT price.
If you take your vehicle to a different test centre after completing the repairs, or return more than 10 days after the initial test, you will need to pay the full MOT fee again.
You may only take your vehicle away from the original MOT centre if:
● The MOT certificate from the previous year is still valid
● No ‘dangerous’ faults were recorded during the failure
If you’re looking for a joint MOT and service deal near you, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site and select ‘MOT’ and the car service you want. This will show you the combined price at garages in your area, allowing you book in just a few steps.
If you have booked an appointment through BookMyGarage.com in the past, we will automatically send you generic MOT reminders as part of our Duty of Care to all UK drivers. This is to reduce the risk of you forgetting your MOT and being caught driving without one, which is illegal.
You only need to book an MOT every 12 months by law, so you don’t need to book it any earlier unless you want to change the MOT expiry date for future years to a different time of year.
If you are planning on selling your vehicle and want to advertise it with an MOT certificate that’s valid for 12 months, you can book a test at any time to ensure this.
You should keep in contact with your chosen garage as they fix your car if you need it retested as soon as possible. However, retest slots do depend on the garage having the availability to carry out the repair work and re-inspect your car so the time it takes can vary depending on how busy they are.
