Reviews Summary

AI Generated

Customers are overwhelmingly positive, praising the garage for honesty, friendly and professional staff, strong technical know‑how, quick turnarounds and fair prices—many mention excellent communication and willingness to collect and return vehicles. Frequent strengths are reliability, accommodating appointments and good value; minor drawbacks noted by a few customers are that MOTs are carried out off‑site (not a while‑you‑wait service), occasional parts aren’t stocked and some jobs can’t always be completed immediately.

Reviews Summary

AI Generated

Customers praise the garage for friendly, patient and trustworthy staff, clear communication and reliable, thorough servicing and MOTs. Many reviewers mention quick turnaround, fair pricing and loyalty — several say they’ll return and recommend the garage to others. Negative feedback is rare but includes a serious complaint about a last‑minute price hike/booking issue (alleging mistreatment of a disabled customer) and an isolated perception of overcharging, indicating pricing and booking transparency as the main area to address.

Do I Need an MOT?

You will need an MOT, by law, if you drive a vehicle registered three or more years ago. This means that all drivers of vehicles registered in or before 2020 must book an MOT in 2023.

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.

How Long Does an MOT Take?

An MOT usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. Many garages offer an ‘MOT-while-you-wait’ service with waiting rooms and refreshments onsite.

If your car fails and needs extra repairs, it will take a lot longer. The test centre will be able to give you a time estimate based on the severity of your repairs.
