Ranked 3 of 10 in MOT centres in Telford

Active

Trading as NATIONAL TYRE SERVICE LIMITED · Holyhead Road, Ketley, Telford, Shropshire, TF1 5AQ · Service area: Telford

Our verdict

Our judgement: this branch suits you if you want a long-running autocare name in Ketley with high review volume behind it [1][2][3]. We rate the history and hours as strengths because both are documented. Confirm the MOT fee and the retest terms before booking, as neither is published [1].
