I’ve been bringing both my own and my partner’s vehicles here for MOTs for years, and I genuinely believe they are fair and honest. If something needs doing or there’s an issue with the vehicle, you can trust that they’re being straight with you. They’re not just looking to do unnecessary repairs to get a pass — they care about safety and transparency. They don’t carry out any remedial work themselves — they are purely an MOT station.

I trust their opinion and advice completely. My car hasn’t always passed first time, but I know my family is safe on the road because of their thorough checks. When work is needed, they always point me in the right direction and recommend someone reliable to get it done.

Barry is a newer member of the team and has now completed two MOTs for me on different vehicles — one passed, one didn’t. The one that failed was sorted quickly thanks to both Richard and Barry. The car was repaired, retested, and back on the road within days.

Highly recommend this garage for honest, professional service.

Fair, Fast & Hassle-Free MOTs

I first came here last week for my MOT and my car failed on two fair points. I had the issues fixed and was able to book in for a retest the very next day after the repairs were done — very convenient

Their service is extremely efficient, with 30-minute time slots so you’re not waiting around all day to get your car back. There’s a comfortable waiting room, and the staff are friendly, helpful, and professional throughout.

It makes so much more sense to use an MOT-only centre like this — they’re completely fair and impartial, and they’re here solely to test your car, not to upsell you on unnecessary repairs or parts like garages tend to do

Highly recommended for a quick, fair, and stress-free MOT.

My first time using Tewkesbury MOT Centre and I was really impressed. The turnaround time was excellent and the staff seemed very knowledgeable both over the phone and in person.

I dropped my Mercedes off in the morning and it was ready within an hour — no messing about as soon as I got there they got the car on the ramp. Most importantly, there was no one trying to sell you things you don’t need, just a fair MOT exactly like they advertise. Highly recommended.

Have been bringing our cars here for years. Never any problems and always good direction given if the vehicle needs repair work to pass an MOT.

Needed an MOT desperately, called them and got my car in same day. The test was unfortunately unsuccessful with a major component failing on my car, resulting in the reasonable abandonment of the test. They were apologetic and patient, and didn’t charge me for the test or clean up. I eventually got my car fixed and MOT’d elsewhere for convenience’s sake, however I believe Tewkesbury MOT Centre provided a great service given the circumstances.
