Best mot service I have ever seen. Very trustworthy and not expensive. You can sit and watch the mot. Big unit with lots of space. Highly recommend!

I have used these guys a couple of times on the recommendation of a friend and they are brilliant. Very professional, flexible and helpful. Great value and I couldnt recommend them more highly. Mark is a lovely guy to deal with and the rest of the team ( please forgive me I cant remember their names) are the same too. I have used Mark and his team again for my MOT , they were fantastic. Unfortunately my car needed quite a lot of work but they sorted it out so professionally for me when they were also incredibly busy with other work too. The car is now handling better than ever and I cant

My car has been with Cheltenham MOT's for a month, with no contact or updates from them. I rang at the three week mark, and I heard that a lot of cars are in a similar situation i.e. they haven't worked on them for three or more weeks, and that they would look into it as a priority. I still haven't heard from them.
Edit: Thanks for that, Mark - it's the Jaguar XK8 convertible.
Edit 2: It's now been four months that my car has been with Cheltenham MOT's, with no updates unless chased. They have been saying that it will be ready by the end of the week, almost every week since the last 6 weeks

I am useless with cars and the rear windscreen wiper on the car I had just bought wasn't working so I took it here and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Being a minor fault, they fixed it for me free of charge and explained the issue so nicely which really eased my anxiety - such a friendly business and I'll definitely be using them for all my car related things going forward! Thank you! :)

Have used Chelt MOTs for some time now and have always found them to be helpful & approachable. Would recommend them for all your vehicles care, as their ramps can accommodate BIG vehicles too

Booked here for the first time this week. My motorhome needed an MOT this week and its difficult to find somewhere with the correct ramps for 3.5ton van. Brilliant service from a really professional outfit, very thorough and very helpful. They identified a faulty brake light which after investigation proved to be not the bulb but a faulty component. No spares available in the UK for at least 3 weeks. Not phased by this they repaired the component old school style. How refreshing, a company putting good service first. Ill be using them again for our other vehicles.
