Transparent pricing
MOT from £40. If your car fails, you get an itemised quote and a free re-test within 10 working days — and we’ll tell you honestly what must be fixed versus what can wait.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured with £5M public liability.
This service is for you if…
- Your MOT is due and you want straight advice on what genuinely needs doing
- You’d like us to collect and return the car so you don’t lose time
- You want a pre-MOT check first to avoid a fail
When we’re not the right call…
- You need the test done on your driveway — the official MOT must happen at an approved test centre, so we collect and return instead
- You only want a certificate without any of the advisories addressed honestly
We’ll always tell you honestly if another specialist is a better fit.
What we’ve sorted recently
Rear shock absorbers — BMW X3
Ride getting a bit bouncy lately, or a strange knock when you hit a pothole? That's often the shocks on their way out. This BMW X3 came in for a fresh set of rear shock absorbers to bring back that smooth, settled handling it left the factory with. Worn shocks aren't just a comfort thing either — they stretch your braking distance and chew through tyres faster, so they're worth sorting before they cost you elsewhere, and they're a common MOT advisory too. Give us a call or drop us a message to get yours checked.
