Easy, fast and pleasant experience.
Booked via phone, efficient and polite - space available next day.
Arrived and car was taken straight in, unfortunately no card payment available at the time so had to get cash but Sainsbury's is close by. ETC 1 hour, done in 45 mins.
Heads up - COVID means can't stay on site to wait so bring gloves (or sit in Sainsbury's). Will be back to Just MOTs.
