Highly recommend Motech. They look
After all my familys cars. Recently my daughter had a problem with her 9year old car, took it to Motech and they told her the issue would be covered by Ford Warranty instead of taking on ( and charging) for the repair. Good honest family run business. Highly recommend.

I get my vehicle serviced and MOT'd here even though I don't actually live in Newbury. Why? Because I have a family and wouldn't trust their lives in anybody else's hands. Motech are honest, reliable, passionate about their work and above all they understand the importance of a well-maintained car.

I would like to share my thanks to the Motech team. They collected my car at the agreed time and the necessary repairs were carried out promptly, with the final cost being lower than their initial quote. My car is now faultless. If you need car repairs, give these guys a call!
