Just to let everyone know that we are still open for business as we provide a service to the NHS patient transport vehicles and MOT's to the blue light ambulances. Because of this we intend to stay open until the government tells us otherwise. We are following the government guidelines and taking high precautions, making sure all steering wheels, keys, door handles etc are being wiped down.

If my vehicle has failed its MOT when the certificate is still live can I still take it away and drive it?. A. You may take your vehicle for its MOT test up to a month before your current certificate ends; the exact date will be on your MOT certificate. This had led to people questioning whether they can drive it after it has failed as they still have a valid certificate.

The changes affect cars, vans, motorcycles and other light passenger vehicles. The government is now preparing to leave the EU in the best possible way for the UK's national interest. The UK government could have faced ongoing substantial fines if it didn't introduce the changes. There's also a risk that vehicles without a compliant EU MOT would not be allowed into other EU countries.

Went for MOT to Halfords, they kicked me out, not telling me what is the problem, only that they are fully booked till December😬 these amazing guys looked at my car, fixed it in 5 mins, said it was something so silly and minor that they wouldn't even charge me for it. I went back to Halfords, they looked at me .. "oh gosh that was quick".. run the test again, passed my MOT I paid for. but tbh, they will never see me again. Next time I'll go to TQ1 right away!

I moved to Torquay recently and needed to find somewhere to MOT my vehicles. Took my VW Van to TQ1 as they came highly recommended by users on the NextDoor app. From the off it was clear this was not your usual greasy garage. There is a comfy waiting area, staff were polite and friendly and they even served nice tea in proper cups. Everything was spotlessly clean. Even the pot plants looked well kept! It’s clearly a well run and well regarded business - I look forward to using TQ1 again in the near future and would have confidence in entrusting them with my other vehicles.

I booked my VW Golf GTE in here for an MOT. Wow - first impressions did not disappoint !! Clean, fresh and tidy - all the staff were friendly and smiling. The lady running the reception was amazing and kept me in touch every step of the way - a real asset to the business !!
I cannot recommend this garage enough - I will be back !!

My Mini developed an awful clunk from the front wheel so I contacted TQ1 last night (who have completed my last two MOT's) to if they could have a quick look as soon as possible as I was terrified something was ready to drop off! I desperately need my car as I'm a wedding photographer and really do need to get to the church on time! I was told to pop this afternoon and after 45mins of investigations a big stone was retrieved from around my anti-roll bar somewhere and clunk gone! Yay! I could have been told it was anything (broken, need repair etc...) so Nigel's honesty is VERY much appreciated

On holiday with my family in Torquay, car front suspension started to make some worrying noises! Phoned 8.30 am and despite being fully booked asked me to bring car in same day. Absolutely brilliant staff, service and facilities. We are safely back home now thanks to this friendly family run garage. Would highly recommend.

5 stars for sure. Friendly staff, brilliant service. The team were knowledgeable and efficient and they went above and beyond to help me out when I was in need. The cleanest garage I have ever seen!
100% would recommend to anyone in the area
I was on holiday in Torquay when my heat shield came loose before I needed to do the 200mile journey home, they calmly helped me out and the workmanship was impeccable
