Testimonials

I really trust this garage with my vehicles. I know they know throe stuff, and they’re busy, so you know they don’t want to over egg what needs doing!

Mary McTernan - September 2024

First time using MOT City as very close to home, 20 minute walk after dropping car off and going to pick up. First impressions were good as the place is so clean, a complete lack of oil, grease or tools around the place. I got a phone call to tell me my car was ready and went to pick it up. The staff are friendly, polite and helpful, no problems at all.

Ian Overton - August 2024

Fantastic garage, the best I’ve been to! They fit me in same day, changed the part and had my car fixed within an afternoon. The price was very reasonable and the staff were all super friendly. Will definitely be going here again. Highly recommend!

Evie Bear - April 2024

I was a first-time customer at MOT City, but instantly felt like my car was left in trustworthy-hands. Communication was excellent and the staff were great – I wasn’t pushed to carry out any extra/unnecessary work. Service and MOT were carried out quickly and at a reasonable price. Will definitely chose them again!

Louie S - April 2024

I can’t recommend MOT City enough! I’ve had my service and MOT done by them over the past few years and they have been brilliant every time. Never felt like I’m being ripped off, they’re always super friendly and have managed to book me in at very short notice. Thank you, MOT City!

Jess - May 2024

Very happy to write a great review for MOT City. I always have great service from everyone there.
This time I phoned them yesterday to see if they could take my car as it was smoking and going to be recovered. The car was dropped of early this afternoon and they managed to fix it before closing time.
Thanks a lot, another great job.

Rupert Miller - May 2024

This evening just before garage closing, I stopped at MOT city as my tyre was showing low pressure. I had contacted 2 other local garages in Reading who offered no assistance shortly before closing time however, MOT city were friendly approachable and checked the air pressure in all my tyres.

I offered to pay as I live in London and simply appreciative to received this assistance. I offered to pay as a kind gesture but the owner refused.

From today’s experience, I would strongly recommend this garage to anyone in need of repairs, service or MOT!

Very friendly, highly recommended.

Thank you!

Spontaneous support in the pouring rain for a “damsel in distress”!
Over from Germany last week I needed to have brake pads replaced fast to be able to return safely to the continent the following day.
After various other car mechanics / garages had either not reacted at all to telephone calls & emails or after diagnosing the problem been unable to provide any real help, I called MOT CITY in desperation. They managed to confirm the problem, get hold of the required parts and fit them, all within an hour, just before EOB.
A very fast diagnosis and professional assistance: they immediately got to work on my car … and a very friendly and reassuring team in the office.
Thank you to the whole MOT CITY Team! ( … have since driven over 1800 kms with no problems!)

Can definitely recommend them very highly!

R Robson - June 2024

Recommend highly! I had to get my MOT done that day and the lovely receptionist booked me in within 1hr. They saw me on time, but my MOT failed due to worn out tyres, they referred me to a tyre place and told me to come back within 1hr. I did so and they saw me again and carried the test out again. They were excellent and so friendly. The owner was fantastic.
Just to be clear I am a female and I did not feel uncomfortable at all!

There is a reason why they have such good ratings!

Quaratalain Khan - June 2024

I took my car to MOT city today after a small issue with my car. the team was great and my car was in and out within a few hours. The receptionist was lovely too! Highly recommend 🙂

Lily Di Giacomo - June 2024

an appointment for MOT at short notice was quickly scheduled by a helpful, polite and courteous Julie! The needed work was also done to my satisfaction by knowledgeable team of professionals who communicated with clarity. Friendly staff who are keen on
customer satisfaction. Highly recommended.

Asit Som - June 2024

I cannot start to praise the team as highly as I would like, we rocked in with a never seen before Ford KA and explained that due to personal circumstances with her driving instructor we needed this car to be and I quote MOT passed, warning lights fixed oh and the clutch is sticking……only to find out the last MOT was less than ‘honest’. Sean and the team worked tirelessly on the car in between my daughters prefixed driving lessons to correct everything in addition to changing the clutch servicing the car and my personal favorite servicing the air conditioning 😃. I cannot thank the team enough for their dedication and perseverance and yesterday my daughter passed in her perfectly serviced, MOT’d and cooled car. Cannot recommend more highly 👍

Caroline Mason - July 2024

I really want to thank Sean and his engineering team. My car, VW Golf 4 is 20 years old, and without their fixing over a couple of years, including the MOT/full service, we can never feel so safe to drive this old, but solid car.

As a part of aging process, door lock, shock absorver, water jet and so on, there have been little or mid-size problems, but they always provided the precise information of what has been a problem, and suggested/performed just a right fix.

Every time I bring my car to the MOT city, it is transformed into a new car, getting closer and closer.

Thank you very much, and I am happy that I can drive safe for my family members.

With the best regards, yoshi

Yoshikatu Hayashi - July 2024

I have been using MOT City for years. Not just for MOTs, but repairs, new tyres, and services.
They’ve always done a great job, and never rip you off. Many times I’ve turned up with a manufacturer health check report, and MOT City have said the vast majority is not required, and then given me a better price for the important stuff.
Fully, and heartily, recommended.

Steve Nixon - July 2024

As a woman, I’ve used MOT City for several years with various cars and received good, clear, courteous advice. This week, they went above and beyond when I couldn’t receive help from my breakdown insurance due to the IT outage. They came to my rescue and sorted out my car in no time. The reception ladies are lovely and always call you back and/or follow up.
Can I also add how spotlessly clean and organized their garage premises are. Thank you all.

Kate W - July 2024

Very clean and tidy workshop; super friendly staff and efficient follow up; professional mechanics – all features of an excellent garage are here. My cars (and myself) are well looked after as a result.

K Chu - July 2024

Excellent trustworthy, reliable and friendly garage. Would highly recommend.

Ravinder Kular - July 2024

The staff are always professional, courteous, efficient and friendly. All work is carried out in a timely manner and all work and costs are discussed in detail before the work is carried out. My whole family use the garage. Thank you.

Good Garage Scheme Review - March 2019

5* rating. I’ve been using MOT city for several years and I’ve always been very pleased with the service. They have always seemed very honest about what work is actually required immediatately and are quite happy to advise you to not spend money on anything unnecessarily. Their receptionists have always been very efficient.

Simon J - September 2018

5* rating. Car needed a lot of work, this place is local and had decent reviews online that I am pleased I paid attention to. A full service and some other work, charged a fair price for the work that was done. Advised on things that really should be done as they would fail an MOT, advised on things that will need doing in the future but not necessary now. All done in a decent time. My car is driving better than when I bought it (second hand) and I couldn’t be happier I feel I have found a good garage on this area

Phil H - May 2018

5* rating.  I’ve been taking my car to MOT city for many years now and the service is always great.  The ladies on reception are lovely and the mechanics are always very friendly and helpful, and you always feel like they are being very straight on what work needs to be done.  The reason for the review now is that they went truly above expectations yesterday.  Not only were they able to juggle things around to fit my car in at very short notice for a service and MOT but, given the snow, and the fact I was struggling to get the car down there they offered to come and collect it from home.  They truly went above and beyond.  Thanks so much to Sue and the team for amazing service.

Lisa - March 2018

I had to book a last minute MOT for my wife’s car and MOT city were the only mot centre prepared to squeeze us in. The staff were polite, clear about cost and super efficient with all paperwork and timings. The centre is extremely clean, tidy and professionally run. They were so good I booked in a service and also an MOT for my own car. Fantastically efficient service and a great team of staff. Highly recommended!!
