Best garage ever!! Kind, helpful, can leave your car there and pick it up the next day if you’re busy. They didn’t even charge me to look at my air con unit, some garages charge a fee just to look at your car. Friendly staff and the wait room is always clean and tidy.

Got me booked in quickly, they were very forward with the ins and outs of what they are doing with both vehicles we took in. Inspection was brilliant and quick and I was on my way after 3 hours with both vehicles. Brilliant pricing on the air con recharge I went in for and the team were friendly and helpful. Cannot recommend them enough

Excellent customer service and advice.MOT failed but was advised what was the cost to repair rear top strut but the handbrake issue would need investigating before giving price, so dont pay for anything till checked. I agreed investigation was completed only needed freeing up due to ceasing from lack of use whilst in hospital. They phoned gave update and good news completed top strut in 1 1/2 hours and collected excellent customer support

Why does my car need an MOT test?

If your vehicle is over 3 years old, in addition to the obvious safety aspects, if you do not have a valid MOT certificate you cannot drive your car lawfully on the road and you won’t be able to renew your car tax.

What is involved in an MOT test?

An MOT involves dozens of checks on your car, ranging from the brakes and fuel system to lights, mirrors, seatbelts, windscreen wipers and exhaust system.

What happens if my car fails its MOT test?

On 20 May 2018, the MOT categories for fails and passes changed. If your car has a dangerous fault, you won’t be able to drive it away. If you do wish to take your vehicle elsewhere you should have it towed. If your car has a major fault, you may be able to drive it away if it is still roadworthy and your previous MOT has not expired. If you drive a vehicle without an MOT or with dangerous faults you can be fined up to £2,500 or receive points on your license.

How do I prepare my vehicle for an MOT test?

Make sure your screen wash is topped up, check your bulbs are working and the car is clean with the lamps, mirrors and registration plates visible. Make sure nothing is blocking the driver’s view and that there are no warning lights on the dash. If in doubt give us a call.

Can I finance my MOT repairs?

Yes, you can split any bill between £250 to £1,000 with no credit checks, no interest and no fees.

Can I wait whilst getting my MOT done?

Yes, we have a clean and comfortable waiting area for our customers, with complimentary refreshments and magazines if you wish to wait while we work on your car.

Do I need to pay for an MOT retest?

Included in our Bronze MOT test package is: MOT Test £10.00 retest fee within 10 working days*. However, our Silver and Gold class packages include FREE retests.
