Reviews Summary

AI Generated

The garage is widely praised for speedy, good‑value MOTs and services, friendly and communicative staff, and straightforward booking/drop‑off flexibility — many customers say they’ve used it for years and would return. A small number of reviewers cite issues: perceived high parts/labour costs in some cases, occasional poor timekeeping, a lone rude junior member, and limited parking. On balance it’s regarded as honest, reliable and efficient, with complaints appearing to be isolated rather than typical.

Compare Guildford MOT Centres & Book an Appointment At the Best One Before Your Expiry Date to Ensure Your Vehicle is Road Legal

If your car is due an MOT test, you must book an appointment before the expiry date to continue driving on the roads around Guildford. The test checks whether your car meets road safety and environmental standards, and you will be prosecuted if caught driving without a valid MOT certificate.

The only exception to this rule is if you are driving it to a garage for repairs after a failed test or to a pre-booked MOT.

Book your MOT well in advance to avoid the risk of missing your test date. You can book up to 12 months in advance through our online comparison site and save up to 70% on an MOT near you in the process by comparing deals.

You can then book an appointment in 3 simple steps if your expiry date is approaching.

 

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is an MOT Test?

An MOT test, or Ministry of Transport Test, is an essential annual vehicle check to assess roadworthiness and safety standards. It ensures all vehicles on UK roads are maintained to a certain standard, improving road safety standards in the process.

What Do I Do if My MOT is Overdue?

If your MOT is overdue you must book a test immediately. It is illegal to drive on public roads in and around Guildford without a valid MOT certificate.

You can book an MOT online today by entering your vehicle registration and postcode into our comparison site.

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 is MOT Valid?

An MOT is valid for 12 months. This is calculated from the date of your test to the exact same date the following year.

If you book your MOT early, it becomes valid for up to 13 months (the 12 months from your expiry date this year to the following year, plus up to an additional 30 days. This depends on how early you booked your MOT).

What Checks Are Conducted During the MOT Test in Guildford?

The following car parts are all checked during a standard MOT test in Guildford:

● Seats & Seat Belts
● Warning Lights
● Switches (position lamp, headlights, hazard lights)
● Windscreen Condition, Wipers & Washers

Where Can I Find a Reputable MOT Testing Centre in Guildford?

If you want to find the most reputable MOT testing centre in your area, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site. We show you all your options in one place, along with verified, unfiltered reviews to help you make the most informed decision. That way, you get the peace of mind you deserve and can find the best deal at the same time.

While you can book an MOT at any registered test centre in Guildford that displays a sign with three interlocked white triangles on a blue background on their premises, this doesn’t guarantee the most reputable option. We would always recommend comparing all your options before deciding on the best one.

Are There Any MOT Centres in Guildford That Operate on Weekends?

Some MOT centres in Guildford may operate on weekends, making it easier to book an MOT test if you have a busy schedule or work unfavourable hours.

To see which garages offer MOT testing on weekends, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site and tick the boxes on the left-hand side marked ‘Saturday MOT’ or ‘Sunday MOT’. This will filter the results to only show the garages that can complete your MOT test on one of these days.

If My Car Fails the MOT Test in Guildford, Am I Still Allowed to Drive It?

You can only drive your car in Guildford after a failed MOT if:
● The MOT certificate from the previous year is still valid
● No ‘dangerous’ faults were recorded during the failure

You must not drive your car after a failed MOT if it doesn’t meet the above requirements.

Are There Any Combined Service and MOT Packages Available in Guildford?

Yes, there are plenty of MOT and service combo packages available in Guildford as it’s often more convenient for drivers to book the two at the same time.

If you’re looking for a joint MOT and service deal near you, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site and select ‘MOT’ and the car service you want. This will show you the combined price at garages in your area, allowing you to choose the best deal and book in just a few steps.

Can I Sign Up For an MOT Reminder Service in Guildford?

If you want to sign up for an MOT reminder service in Guildford, enter your email address into the box above. We provide an MOT reminder 4 weeks, 2 weeks and then 1 week before your expiry date to ensure you book your appointment in plenty of time. We may also provide personalised offers and deals in these emails.

If you have booked an appointment through BookMyGarage.com in the past, we will automatically send you generic MOT reminders as part of our Duty of Care to all UK drivers. This is to reduce the risk of you forgetting your MOT and being caught driving without one, which is illegal.

How Early Can I Renew My MOT in Guildford Before Its Expiration?

You can renew your MOT at any time, although most drivers do it less than a month, minus a day, before the expiry date.

You only need to book an MOT every 12 months by law, so you don’t need to book it any earlier unless you want to change the MOT expiry date for future years to a different time of year.

If you are planning on selling your vehicle and want to advertise it with an MOT certificate that’s valid for 12 months, you can book a test at any time to ensure this.
