Customers are overwhelmingly positive, repeatedly praising friendly, helpful staff, clear updates (including video health checks), efficient turnaround and good value—many mention complimentary car cleans and same‑day fixes. A notable minority report inconsistent communication, delays or last‑minute scheduling problems, and a few describe rude or discriminatory behaviour. There are also isolated complaints about pressure to accept extra work, incomplete jobs and billing/key issues, so service quality appears to range from excellent to poor depending on the visit.

Many customers praise quick, high-quality MOTs and servicing, friendly and helpful staff, clear communication, comfortable waiting facilities and fair pricing. A smaller but vocal group report poor appointment management and rudeness, long delays (one customer waited four days) and instances where recommended work or extra charges weren’t clearly agreed beforehand.

Frequently asked questions

What do the Tier badges mean?

If a garage in your area satisfies our requirements for customer service, satisfaction ratings and service excellence, we reward them with a Silver, Gold or Top Tier badge. This marks them as a test centre that offers an even higher-quality experience, leaving you feeling totally satisfied after every appointment.

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 for your appointment once all the work has been done – giving you the peace of mind you deserve.

How do Derby test centres make my life easier?

Whether you need your car on the road every day of the week or don’t have the time to take it to and from a test centre, our garages are here to help. Wherever possible, we encourage them to offer:

- A vehicle collection and delivery service
- Same- or next-day MOT testing
- Saturday appointments

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?

While we always aim to show you the most relevant test centres, true value looks different to everyone. If you’re after the cheapest deal or the highest rated local test centre, select the right option for your needs from the Sort By dropdown in the top right corner to compare garages by what matters most to you.

Can I reschedule my MOT booking?

Yes, you can amend your booking details right up until the appointment date via the confirmation email you received or 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.
