MOT Testing (& Free Retest)

​If your car is more than three years old, it needs to pass an MOT Test mandatory every year. With new MOT rules from 20 May 2018, we advise test results categorised as:

•  Pass,
• Advisory,
• Minor,
• Major    or
• Dangerous.

​If one of the last two applies to your car, we can also give you the option to have the car professionally repaired & MOT retested. We will make sure your car is roadworthy and legal and more importantly safe on the roads.

You don’t need to rely on trust alone to get a fair deal for car repair or minor remedial work done by any garage such as ours, there are a number of regulations in place to make sure that a garage cannot take advantage of you.

Individual itemised repair costs will be disclosed and agreed upfront giving you choices & options. We also have scheme of up-front menu pricing for common repair types which are comparable and very  competitive. We won't be beaten for costs & workmanship locally.
