Reviews Summary

AI Generated

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with customers frequently praising friendly, helpful staff, clear communication (often via technician videos), good value compared with other main dealers, quick turnaround and extras such as courtesy cars and complimentary valets. A minority mention issues — booking or paperwork errors, occasional pricing/quote confusion or downgraded services, some poor handling of advisories and one reported missed suspension problem — so it’s worth double-checking estimates and inspecting the car after collection.

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with customers repeatedly praising friendly, helpful and professional staff, clear communication and good value, plus thorough work such as MOTs and full services often returned with a complimentary valet or useful video inspections. Common strengths are the welcoming reception, regular updates and high-quality workmanship; the main drawbacks mentioned are limited on-site parking and occasional unavailability of a loan/courtesy car, with a couple of customers reporting a rough start that was later resolved.

How Long Does an MOT Take?

An MOT usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. Many garages offer an ‘MOT-while-you-wait’ service with waiting rooms and refreshments onsite.

If your car fails and needs extra repairs, it will take a lot longer. The test centre will be able to give you a time estimate based on the severity of your repairs.

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.

Can I Drive After a Failed MOT?

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.
