I can not recommend them enough.

Henry Shapland - April 2025

Great place to take your car, my wife had a load of warning lights come up on the dashboard, they are local to us so she drove down there on the same day and asked them if they could help, they said to leave it with them and we had the car back in the day, changed a sensor and worked professionally, were courteous with great communication as well, my wife needed the car a was returning to work that week.

James France - April 2025

After breaking down the RAC towed my car to MOT city , having never used this garage before I was highly impressed with the warmth of the receptionist and the prompt response, a big thank you to the mechanic who repaired my vehicle and got me back on the road, I would highly recommend this garage, it’s certainly on top of my list for future dilemmas with my car
Happy motoring

Jane Buckland - April 2025

I cannot thank this garage enough for helping me out yesterday, after a scary and stressful journey from Birmingham, on the motorway and the realisation that my brakes were not functioning well at all and needing to get to an interview on time. I rang four garages for help, before discovering this little gem. Christine was so personable and despite them being full to capacity they pulled out the stops to get my car fixed, so I could return home safely. Chloe kept me briefed at all times, with full explanation of costs and checks made. The whole team there were so professional and even did 3 road tests to be double sure I’d be ok for our next long journey. I was so impressed that I’d almost consider driving here each time I need anything in the future – and making a day trip of it! The people of Winnersh are lucky to have such a great garage on their doorstep!! I don’t drive on motorways often and with road works where I live, I rarely reach high speeds. I had no idea there was a problem until travelling on an extended journey.
My car is now running better than it ever has and I now have an excuse to practice motorway driving again and come here again!
Thank you so much to you all!

Joanna Statham - March 2025

Very good. Thorough checks done and good communication checking with me if things had to be changed. Chloe did an excellent job! Would recommend.

Will - March 2025

Brilliant service all round. Yet again a huge thank you to all at MOT City. As a driving instructor who absolutely relies on my car being on the road, MOT City managed to get me in and back to business asap. Customer service was great and everyone was extremely helpful especially Sean and Kerry. I cannot recommend enough.

Clare Campbell - March 2025

As a woman, taking my car to a garage can sometimes feel intimidating, but MOT City is completely different. All the team ( but specifically Sean) and Kerry who I met for the first time today, is warm, welcoming, and always takes the time to explain things clearly. They do a fantastic job at the best price, and I never feel pressured into unnecessary work. It’s so refreshing to find a garage I can truly trust. Because of this, I introduced my daughter, who would never go to any garage on her own because she didn’t feel comfortable, until she experienced MOT City – now we won’t go anywhere else!

Tracey Flood - March 2025

Cant recommend this place enough! Havent had my car long but had to get towed to MOT City by the breakdown service. Everyone was really nice on arrival and very helpful. I was told due to the amount of cars in it might not be until next week, but i got a call less than 24 hours later telling me the issues and the cost. Chloe was amazing and could feel my pain but made me feel better about the work needed and cant thank her enough! Kerry at reception was lovely as well and really helpful throughout, hopefully they never see me again but if needed i will be heading back there!

G Timm - February 2025

I was meant to be heading to a wedding when the mechanism controlling my window broke, meaning the window was stuck down on a cold and wet day. These guys took my car in at such short notice and fixed it the same day for a good price and my partner and I managed to get to the wedding in time. Couldn’t recommend them enough, thanks guys.

Matt Scurlock - January 2025

MOT City is always on point with ecxellent service and knowledgeable advice on Motors of all makes and models. Shaun and all the team consistently go the extra mile to satisfy customer needs. Highly recommended

Christian Esposito - January 2025

Quick, clear to understand what was done, listened to what I asked for and delighted me by doing exactly as they said they would. Shout out to Kerry for making sure everything kept clicking along to time.

Paul Brook - January 2025

I had a noise coming from my car that I didn’t know. MOT city investigated the issue and let me know what was going on. Debs is really friendly on the phone.i highly recommend.

J temps - January 2025

I was so grateful to a colleague when flying together at 35,000 feet above Europe and listening to my car woes over a cuppa that he recommended MOT City in Winnersh.
From the friendly receptionist welcome given by Kerry to the professional and personable Sean who said honestly what he felt the issue was with my vehicle and an approximate cost. Within a short period of time, I had a full itinerary, estimate and collection date given.
I have since taken my son’s vehicle there for an MOT and will be back shortly for a service for the next car. It’s hard not to want to stay and chat – I feel like we’ve been friends for years, I’m super grateful for a garage that is affordable and trustworthy and best of all on my doorstep! Highly recommended

Andrea Madigan - January 2025

Without doubt the best garage I’ve ever come across they’ve helped me out on numerous occasions. From the owner to all the staff they’re so friendly and accommodating something that is very hard to find! I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else!

Rom Sosa - November 2024

I had my clutch replaced with MOT City and I can’t say enough good things about them. Very polite and friendly on the phone when booking in. Kept in regular communication throughout the process. And took no time at all to get fixed. Would highly recommend

Joe Stevenson - November 2024

Great service from team of experts
Highly recommended

Colin Stamp - November 2024

I would never take my car anywhere else. Professional and super friendly service from everyone there. Thank you for bringing my car back to life and keeping me thoroughly updated. All being well, see you next year!

Leanne Marshall - November 2024

Great people! Kerry was so helpful and efficient. Called with an emergency on a Saturday, and even though they had closed, Kerry answered and did so much to help. When we got there, Shaun had stayed on to help and clearly explained the problem and the options. He could have done some work and charged us, but he explained that leaving it was the least worst answer.
I would trust these guys.

Stuart Stoter - October 2024

I can’t recommend this garage highly enough! I found myself in a bind with a faulty thermostat just before heading to work, and they came through for me. The staff (specifically Sean) was incredibly friendly and accommodating, fitting me in at the last minute later that day. They diagnosed the issue quickly and had it sorted in no time. The service was top-notch.
Thanks to them, I made it to work on time without any stress. A fantastic local garage that truly cares about its customers! Thank you Sean and the team 🙂

Arma Yaqoob - October 2024

Great service will be definitely coming back.

Monika - October 2024

Bloody marvellous. So helpful and efficient. 100 times better than any main dealer! (Toyota)

Mike Bland - October 2024

Great place to go for car fixed
Great staff

Damo Coventry - October 2024

Just moved back to the area and we are very glad we discovered MOT city especially as it’s only minutes away from us. Had our Aircon serviced on our Mini and very happy with the result. You can tell when arriving that they maintain the right environment to do a great job, the place is very tidy and clean. Service was friendly and prices competitive. We’ll definitely be back for future MOT’s, services, repairs etc. and will be recommending to all our friends and family.

Juan Effrien - September 2024

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.

Danny Hargreaves - August 2024

Always Very good service from MOT City.
Sean and his team of mechanics are helpful and trustworthy
Reception staff very friendly and excellent customer service.

Karen Robertson - August 2024

Absolutely topnotch. Very helpful, great communication, they go out of their way to help and to put your mind at ease. Completely trustworthy, they really helped me out of a tight spot. I can highly recommend them.

Karl Goodfellow - August 2024

Always polite, very efficient, excellent work, true to their word and above all trustworthy. Don’t go anywhere else!!

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!

Dreasha Charles - May 2024

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!!
