Reviews Summary

Most customers praise the efficient, professional service, with several highlighting smooth MOTs and servicing, helpful staff, and handy touches like the vehicle health video. A small number of reviewers mention timing issues, such as jobs overrunning the agreed collection slot or online tracking links not working, and one felt reception could be easier to locate. One customer was dissatisfied overall, though this appears to be an isolated experience compared to the largely positive feedback.

“I have been using Evans Halshaw Ford Chester for almost a year now and the service has been incredible every time. Whether it was a warranty claim through the RAC or my recent annual service and MOT, everything has been handled smoothly and professionally. They have completely earned my trust, so much so that I have switched from my usual garage and will continue using them going forward. A special mention goes to Morgan Bailey. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional.”

Frequently asked questions

Your car needs its first MOT by the third anniversary of its registration, then every year by the anniversary of its last one. You can get your MOT up to a month (minus a day) before it runs out and keep the same renewal date, so there's no need to leave it to the last minute. If you're not sure of the date, check when your MOT is due.

Driving without a valid MOT can mean a fine of up to £1,000, unless you're driving to a pre-booked MOT or to have the car repaired.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. If your current MOT is still valid and no 'dangerous' problems were found, you can take your car to another garage for repairs and its retest.

If your MOT has run out, you can only drive it to have the failed defects fixed or to a pre-booked MOT. If you leave it at the test centre for repairs and it's retested within 10 working days, the partial retest is free.
Garages marked as BMG Verified have been physically visited by our team and meet our clear service level agreement standards for ratings and reliability.
