🔧 If Your Car Fails, We Won't Pressure You
Some garages see a failed MOT as a sales opportunity. We see it as a chance to give you honest advice.
If your car needs work to pass, we'll explain exactly what's required, give you a clear quote, and let you decide. No hard sell, no scare tactics.
And if you do choose us for the repairs – 95% of our estimates come in at price or less. No surprises.
❓ What If My Car Fails?
📋 We'll Explain Everything
No jargon, no confusion. We'll show you exactly what failed and why, with photos if it helps. You'll understand what needs fixing before we talk about price.
💰 Clear Quote, No Pressure
We'll give you a straightforward quote for the repairs. You're welcome to take it away and think about it, get a second opinion, or ask us to crack on. Your call.
🔄 Free Retest
If you get the work done with us, your retest is free. If you go elsewhere, just bring it back within 10 working days for a partial retest at no extra charge.
💳 Spread the Cost
Unexpected repair bill? We offer 0% finance through Bumper – spread the cost over 6 months with no interest. Just ask.
"Do you have courtesy cars?"
Yes – £16/day, subject to availability. For a standard MOT most people wait (it's only about an hour), but if your car needs repairs and you need wheels, just let us know when you book and we'll sort it.
🤔 Your MOT Questions Answered
"How much is an MOT?"
£49.99. That's it. No hidden fees, no "admin charges". If it fails, we'll quote any repairs separately – but the test itself is always £49.99.
"How long does it take?"
About an hour. You're welcome to wait – we've got comfy seats, free WiFi, and hot drinks. Or drop off from 7:30am and collect later (we're open until 6:30pm).
"Can I wait while it's done?"
Yes! Most people do. Grab a cuppa, use the WiFi, and we'll come find you when it's done. If any work's needed, we'll show you and explain before doing anything.
"When is my MOT due?"
You can check your MOT history and due date on the government website. Or just give us your reg and we'll tell you.

"What if I need repairs to pass?"
We'll explain what's wrong, give you a clear quote, and let you decide. No pressure, no scare tactics. If you want us to do the work, great – retest is free. If you'd rather go elsewhere, no hard feelings.
And if budget's tight, we offer 0% finance through Bumper to spread the cost.
