Reviews Summary

AI Generated

Customers consistently praise this garage for its friendly, knowledgeable staff, clear communication, honest advice and fair pricing, with many noting quick turnaround and the ease of fitting in last-minute MOTs. Several reviewers mention being long-term customers who trust the team not to inflate issues or add unnecessary extras. A small number of people raised minor points, such as final costs rising after extra work was found (where instalment options may help) and, occasionally, booking confirmations and slot availability that could be clearer.

If you complete the repairs yourself and choose to take your car into a different test centre, you will need to pay for the full test again.
You can only drive your car 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.
