The MOT Centre customer reviews
"Awsome Service. I was coming to enjoy for holidays to Lake District. My car give me some tough times. I found them walk in. They fix my car straight away. Help me alot. And my journey smooth back to London. Appreciate alot. Rayan who deals with us. Thanks alot guys cheers."
"Having taken a trip from Southport to the lakes, we found ourselves with a mechanical brake fault that made it unsafe to complete the home trip on a cold November Saturday afternoon. Faced with being stranded until Monday, we found Craig's team at 15:00, the garage closed at 12:30, but they were still busy working on their own cars in their own time. The team diagnosed the problem over their lunch, even offering us some while we waited and chatted. Craig then set to work calling round a list of contacts that might have parts. Nowhere was open, but Craig pressed on calling in favours for people to go from their home where available to check if they had the parts we needed. 30 minutes on, he struck gold, and he found someone who had the parts and was able to drive back into the office, pick them up and drop them at the garage. Once delivered, the team jacked the car up and set about it like an F1 pit crew. They had brake discs and calipers off and replaced in not much longer than it took to make and drink a cup of tea while Craig chatted and kept us company until he was needed to assist the rest of the team. I couldn't fault or thank them enough. Right from turning up during their own time they made us feel welcome and reassured that they'd work hard to get us back on the road. The centre does MOTs and all types of repair work with specialism in Audi and VW. We were so impressed and happy with the work and the service, that we will no doubt make the journey back for any car works we need in future. Each member of the team was knowledgeable and friendly, displaying really high levels of customer service. The centre was clean and well organised. I highly recommend coming here"
"Best possible people to deal with when you are having car issues. Usually can be a very stressful situation but they made the experience stress free and were extremely helpful. I know where I’ll be going for anything in the future. Thanks to Tom and the rest of the team for helping me with my Ford that broke down."
"Tom went over and above to sort out an issue with our e208, which had failed its MOT due to a rear brake fault. He is very knowledgeable and determined, and stayed after hours, working late until it was sorted, and was friendly and cheerful with it!"
"I can’t recommend The MOT Centre, Kendal enough! I’m not from the area but had an issue with my car while in town, and they kindly got me in the same day. Even though I had to leave the car with them, their professionalism and communication were absolutely brilliant. They had the car back to me within a week, and after months of my warranty company dragging their feet, the team here worked tirelessly to push my claim through. Honestly, they went above and beyond to help me out, and I’m so grateful. Top-notch service, great people, and true dedication to their customers — I’d recommend these lads time and time again for anything car-related. 👍"
"Had an issue with my Porsche Panamera whilst on a road trip to Lake District. Randomly dropped into this garage. They identified the problem, provided a temporary fix, informed me of the part numbers I needed and sent me on my way within the hour. Tom the garage owner was a true professional - he was very knowledgable, efficient and helpful. This is exactly the type of local business we should all support."
"I was on holiday with my two kids from the southwest corner of UK. The last thing I wanted on my holiday was a broken car. I have no words to express my gratitude to this amazing group of people here. They were so kind, and helpful, professional and despite their busy schedule they took every effort to sort my car out (the whole clutch system in mechanical terms)so that I could be back home with my kids on time. I reached back home safely and the drive was so smooth. Thank you for all your hardwork.i would highly recommend to everyone.!!!"
"300 miles away from home and my car starts making some awful noises, these guys were spot on in sorting it quickly, cannot recommend them enough. Friendly, great service and got me out of a pinch - 10/10"
"Fantastic team! We made it home safely to Germany after our exhaust pipe had to be welded. Without appointment but without having to wait on a Friday morning - imagine this in Germany ;-) Thanks again for being exeptionally helpful, friendly, competent and fast."
