Mot Report

We are officially approved by Trading Standards and a member of Brighton & Hove City Council's Buy With Confidence scheme. If any of these tests are failed we will discuss any work that needs to be done before undertaking it. The MOT looks at some important items on your car to see that they meet key legal requirements at the time of test.

Pick up / Drop off Report

We are officially approved by Trading Standards and a member of Brighton & Hove City Council's Buy With Confidence scheme. We know how busy life can get. If you're at work, keeping your family on the go, or like most of our customers juggling both, the last thing you want to do is to take valuable time out dropping off and picking up your car.

Had to scrap my van due to this garage who were only interested in making as much money by replacing everything apart from welding which had massive holes around frame which would have been obvious to anyone who looked , stole over £3000.00 pounds in past two years at least then told welding would cost £4000.00 t0 fix frame but no mention by this garage to make van safe or let me know about work needed

Couldn't recommend coming here enough. Everyone here is just so kind and so lovely. Have done my MOTs, full services and even little fixes like oil changes and little repairs in the car. Everyone here really goes out of their way for you and I’ve recommended them to everyone I know! Feeling very happy to have found them.

Easily booked over the phone, and was in and out in under 90mins. Went here due to a recommendation and it lived up to expectations. If you have a Bongo, bring it here!!

Took may aging Golf her for the first time for an MOT a month ago.
Had an ongoing intermittant issue with the ABS making it a failure before the test started.
MOT completed, ABS sorted and still working fine. Good polite and professional service with a fair price. I shall certainly use them again.

Positive: Professionalism
Can't rate these guys highly enough. Always accommodating and work is first rate. After an expensive MOT failure, each aspect of the repair was discussed and explained before proceeding. Incredible turnaround too.
Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance
