One of our latest reviews from a satisfied customer-
I have been using MOT City for many years now for both MOTs and service. An independent garage that has kept my 12 year old car on the road at a reasonable cost. Hands on customer service.

Whilst continuing to remain open during this difficult time, our safety screen has arrived and everyone loves our handing over key system. If you require a service or MOT please give us a call on 0118 979 6677

Dear all customers,
We wanted to let you know that we are open for business as usual, albeit working a little differently.
During this worldwide period of uncertainty with the coronavirus pandemic, we are relying on our cars to get around perhaps more than ever. With social distancing a necessity, and public transport that we rely on becoming unavailable, cars are now the primary way for keyworkers and people going on essential travel to get about.
Contactless forms of communication are necessary, and we have therefore compiled a safe and contactless way to still be able to have your MOT, repairs and servicing done. We ask you to simply drive into our yard where we will take possession of your car at the correct 2 metre distance and you simply walk away. We are sanitising all areas of the vehicle that our technicians will come into contact with and re-sanitising all components for your safety when the vehicle is parked up ready for your collection.
For the foreseeable future we are asking customers not to come into our reception area and are contacting you when the vehicle is ready for collection and asking customers to pay over the telephone, making the collection of vehicles contactless.
As you can see, we are taking every precaution to protect the health of our customers and staff alike. We thank you for your understanding and continued custom and we wish you good health during this very difficult time.
Be safe personally and be road safe too.
Kind regards
Sean
Sean and all the team at MOT City

UPDATE: We are currently planning to remain OPEN during this difficult time.

STAY SAFE
