Our verdict

Our judgement: this branch suits you if price matters and you want the figures upfront, backed by a DVSA-approval statement and a company record going back to 1979 [1][2]. We rate the published prices as a strength because few rivals show theirs. Confirm the retest policy in writing before the test, as the page does not state it [1].

Strengths

  • You can compare costs before calling: MOTs from £41.99, fitted tyres from £29, interim service from £115 and full service from £205 [1].

  • The page states DVSA approval for the MOT centre and lists free Wi-Fi, TV and toilets at the branch [1].

Limitations

  • The 4.1 rating from 825 reviews sits below most centres in this round, so read recent reviews before booking [3].

  • No insurance details are published — scored as insufficient evidence, not as a failing [1].
