Really professional mot garage, not interested in drumming up business by making up failers unlike some, Paul's a very helpfull , honest mot tester and to be fair I'd rather put my car in his hands in case there is something dangerously wrong, I won't go anywhere else.

Paul and his guys did a smashing job on my van. A last minute breakage could have ruined my holiday but he's fit in the extra work and saved the day!

Service and MOT time yesterday, never something to look forward to. Having Medway MOT Centre looking after you however does take a lot of the stress out of it. Thoroughly recommended.
