Our verdict

Our judgement: this branch suits you if a written guarantee on the work matters to you, with MOTs and most repairs available on the same site [1]. We rate the guarantee as a strength because it is stated plainly. Confirm the MOT-only price and the retest terms before booking, as only the bundle saving is published [1].
