Clear communication is a recurring theme, with staff taking time to explain work carried out and any advisories in a straightforward manner. One reviewer mentioned the waiting area could benefit from some improvement, though this was noted in the context of the garage having recently taken over the site and was raised by only a single customer.

Frequently asked questions
You can book an MOT online today by entering your vehicle registration and postcode into our comparison site.
Class 4 covers all cars and light commercial vehicles registered in the UK.
If you are caught on a public road without a valid MOT certificate, and you can’t meet the above criteria, you can be fined up to £1,000. There is a further £2,500 fine if your vehicle is found to be unroadworthy. You will also receive 3 points on your driving licence if it is deemed to be dangerous.
Driving without an MOT certificate also invalidates your car insurance. This brings an unlimited fine, potential disqualification from driving and 6-8 points on your licence.
If you book your MOT early, you get more time to fix any faults and ensure your car is still legal to drive on UK roads. However, if you book your MOT earlier than a month in advance, the expiry date will become the date of your most recent test.
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.
