Reviews Summary

Customers are overwhelmingly positive, repeatedly praising friendly, professional staff, quick turnaround (often same‑day) and a convenient collection/delivery service. Many cite good value and reliable repairs—tyres, brakes and engine work get specific praise—while staff habitually keep customers updated for routine jobs. A minority, however, experienced poor communication and admin (delays, missing paperwork, items left in the car, and an unnoticed oil‑pressure warning) which undermined trust for some.

Reviews Summary

Customers mostly praise prompt, friendly and knowledgeable mechanics who carry out tidy, thorough services at customers’ homes, often calling with an exact arrival time and completing work within about one to two hours while stamping the service book and resetting lights. Reviewers also highlight the convenience of on‑site servicing and competitive pricing compared with main dealers. A minority, however, report missed appointments and poor follow‑up/rescheduling communication, which left them waiting and frustrated.

Reviews Summary

AI Generated

Most reviewers praise the garage for fast, friendly MOTs and servicing — customers repeatedly mention prompt text updates, polite staff and cars returned washed and valeted. However a noticeable minority report serious problems: unexpected or inflated repair charges, booking mix-ups and poor communication, and a few complain of damage or dirty interiors on return. Strengths therefore lie in efficiency, convenience and customer contact, while weaknesses centre on inconsistent pricing, booking reliability and occasional quality-control lapses.

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 Edinburgh 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.
