Who can fix my car?
We make finding the right person to fix your car easy. We have access to over 15,000 garages across the UK, covering everything from mobile mechanics to main dealers. You can compare MOT garages and mechanics near you, and search for the best prices on MOTs, car services and repairs.
Why should I compare prices?
There are a number of things to consider when picking the right garage. Price will usually be the main factor but our comparison lets you consider customer reviews, distance from your home or place of work, and the services the garages in your area offer.
How much is an MOT?
There’s a maximum MOT fee of £54.85 for a car and £29.65 for a standard motorbike, however you could get it cheaper if you shop around as the price of an MOT can vary depending on the MOT test station*
What is checked on an MOT?
An MOT garage will check a number of things when carrying out an MOT, including:
- Lights to check their colour, condition, safety and aim are all correct
- Steering and suspension to see if they're operating as normal and in good condition
- Brakes to make sure they’re functioning safely
- Wheels and tyres to ensure general condition, security and tread depth of your tyres aren't worn to the point of being dangerous
- Vehicle emissions will be tested to make sure they fall within safety guidelines

How can I find a car service near me?
It's simple, we just need some information about your car, your postcode and the work your car needs. Once we've got that we'll show you a list of quotes from garages offering services near you. We show them listed by closest to your postcode but also let you view them on a map if you'd prefer.
*There is a maximum amount MOT test stations can charge. This depends on the type of vehicle. https://www.gov.uk/getting-an-mot/mot-test-fees (Oct 24').
