Car taken for MOT last week, 2 hours later called to say bill would be £450 due to work needed to be carried out in order to pass the MOT. My Dad (who is 83) paid cash - was given no receipt and no paperwork to say what work had been carried out. Was promised this paperwork every day and nothing given. Checked with DVLA and MOT was still not showing 5 days later. Contacted garage and given every excuse under the sun! (at hospital, internet not working, computer not working, got oil on my hands so I can't get to paperwork etc!). DVLA contacted and they have advised that this garage is not licensed to do MOTs (he must therefore be taking it somewhere else?). I have messaged garage owner and asked for my dad's money back but we are getting the above excuses! How can someone do an MOT and carry out £400 worth of work in 2 hours!!! My Dad now has to take his car somewhere else next week as the MOT has not been done. This is now in the hands of DVLA, Trading Standards and the Police as we have not been able to get our money back so far - we will however pursue until we do. DO NOT USE!! Taken advantage of an elderly, trusting gentleman.
Left my car there for a MOT on 24th Jan 24, 45 mins later got called to say the car had failed the MOT on play in the wheel bearing & bushes are perished! He quoted me £400 after telling him I would shop round for a better quote he dropped the price to £300. I went to collect my car after refusing to find him driving about in my car! Took the car to ford chambers for second opinion the car passed its MOT! Do not trust this garage he is out to rip you off. I took my last car for a MOT there and it failed on the exact same thing unfortunately I had the job done, this garage needs closing down!
Disgraceful garage, overcharging and not doing the work he says he is doing, conning old men who he knows will pay…. He needs closing down. Also my car had an mot there when I got car back seat belt was still faulty so I wonder if he actually checked everything he should?!!!!
Not good, work charged for was not carried out. I even payed for a new back box on the exhaust and the following year when it was MOT,d the back box hadnt even been replaced. Spark plugs weren't replaced after paying for a full service, that happened two years on the trott, i know because any other garage cant get hold of Ford spark plugs. Complete rip off.
Bought a car which had an MOT that was 6 weeks old, no advisory. We took the car to a local garage for a used car check. It needed new breaks.
Needed 3 bulbs changes and was quotes £25 over the phone but charges £50 upon job completion. Driverside headlight damaged and is now discoloured and unrepairable. Terrible garage steer clear
Unfortunately I had no choice but to use the MOT service and a engine service as well, and wished I didn't!
The service was very expensive and the MOT failure cost an absolute fortune for welding I couldn't see. Will not be going back there ever again.
DO NOT USE THIS PLACE! scammed our family to pay £495 for work that wasn’t even done when we requested a receipt of all the parts he is unable to give to us he is a scam!
