Reviews Summary

AI Generated

Customers are highly positive, repeatedly praising friendly, helpful staff, quick and efficient work, clear communication and competitive pricing for tyres, MOTs and servicing. Several reviews name team members (Chris, Bob, Steve), highlight same‑day repairs or puncture fixes, accommodating bookings (including pay‑in‑4) and say cars are returned clean — many would happily recommend or only use this garage. Only occasional gripes appear, chiefly one customer who expected a discount on an MOT when booked with a service, but negative comments are rare.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is an MOT Test?

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.

Why Do MOT Tests Include an Exhaust Emissions Test?

The MOT test includes an exhaust emissions test to ensure that your vehicle’s engine is operating efficiently and producing minimal air pollution. It is part of an international effort to reduce the effects of harmful carbon emissions on the planet.

If your vehicle fails the exhaust emissions test or doesn’t have enough fuel to sit this test, the tester must record an automatic MOT failure.
