Reviews Summary

AI Generated

Highfield Garage receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for friendly, knowledgeable staff, fast and efficient MOTs/services, and good communication. Reviewers frequently highlight fair, competitive pricing, honest advice with no hard sell, and useful extras like same‑day turnaround and pick‑up/drop‑off. A few isolated complaints mention a service mix‑up (full vs interim, with brakes not checked) and occasional parking difficulties, but such issues are uncommon.

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 Much is an MOT?

An MOT can cost as much as £54.85, but many test centres set their prices lower to encourage more customers to choose them. While you can pay less than £54.85 for a class 4 test, you will never pay more as it is a fixed upper limit as set by the UK Government.

Class 4 covers all cars and light commercial vehicles registered in the UK.
