Needed an MOT at short notice. Was able to book online for the next day. The website is very user friendly and you’re able to see all the slots available and book there and then. Zero faff, zero fuss. Staff were friendly and polite. MOT was complete within the 45 minute time slot and a text was sent advising me that it was finished. Would highly recommend.

Terrible service & customer care !! I had my car booked in for a full service & mot & specifically asked for a day were it could be completed in the morning as i have to pick up my grandson from school, I took it in at 8am & phoned at 11.45 to be told they haven’t even started it yet !! So i took it back with no service done & not even an apology from receptionist !! Last time i use this company, she could have turned me around with an apology, i think she needs to practice customer care skills so they don’t lose there customers 😡
