Customers rave about Motortechs, with the vast majority praising friendly, helpful staff, honest advice and a reliable, professional service. Frequent positives include quick turnaround times, clear communication, convenient pick-up/drop-off options and competitive pricing, with many saying they wouldn’t go elsewhere. A few isolated issues crop up — occasional missed opening times, one or two problems with tyre work or supplier delays, and some confusion over what a “full service” covers (extra charges via Book My Garage).

If your car is due an MOT test, you must book an appointment before the expiry date to continue driving on the roads around Southend. 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.
