Our philosophy is only to do the agreed work and seek customer approval before any additional work is undertaken.

Quality of Service – better than a main dealer, and cheaper

What we seek above all else, is to offer our customers a superior quality of service. We aim to get the vehicle fixed quicker than a main dealer and will always go that extra mile for the customer. We are members of the RMI, Motor Codes, Trust my Garage, and apart from our youngsters going through training, we only employ fully qualified technicians.

I recently moved to the area and needed an MOT, done a Google search, and found MOTEST Crawley. Booked my MOT and arrived on the date that i'd booked only to find that i booked the wrong date and was a month and half early. This was picked up by the MOT guy who bought it to my attention, and he gave me the option to come back another time to save me missing out on nearly a months worth of MOT, which i did. My mistake so they could have charged me, but they didn't. Great garage, honest friendly staff, I did come back, and my car passed. I will definitely come back when my service is due or if I need any work doing. Thanks MOTEST Crawley

After 2 failures to do the tracking on my car at the local branch of a big tyre place, I decided to drive to these guys, which are further away, but never let me down in the past. Issue resolved within 30 minutes. Now, my car goes in a straight line with a steering wheel under the correct angle. The lady at the reception is friendly and polite, and the mechanics know their job very well. Will definitely come back again.

Excellent service with friendly, patient staff. I brought my car in with an overheating engine and failed heating system. Through an inspection of my vehicle, a couple of other issues were discovered, which required immediate attention. Scary words as a car owner (price 😬) They were able to pinpoint and fix areas of my vehicle, showing me the old damaged parts aswell as inform me of the harm that these were doing. This was all achieved at a reasonable price. I spoke with many members of staff, but mainly Charlie who was able to inform me of the work needing done and assure me when my car was safe and able to be returned. Thank you very much, great service!

I have been using MOTEST for a few years now, and I must say that they are the best M.O.T. Centre ever, they just do M.O.T’s so unlike other garages there is no incentive to rip you off like some other garages that I could mention, anyway great service and great staff.

I can not recommend this garage enough. The guys are so nice and helpful. I had a few issues with a new car and was really worrying. They fitted the car in and sorted everything quickly and explaining all the issues so my concerns were put at ease. Thank you Adam and the team. I will be using this as my regular garage.

Booked my BMW in on Thursday for a Friday afternoon appointment, it was quiet, car was done on time, service was excellent and they have parking. If you wait you can walk to Town Centre but with the appointment basis they do you on time. They did not also put stupid comments on the MOT like 'undertrays fitted preventing inspection of underside of vehicle' I mean every manufacturer fits undertrays. All in all an excellent MOT centre been using them on off 25 years.

We received a very friendly welcome when we arrived to get my car MOT'd they took the details and key and told us when it would be ready. We left the car with them and walked I to town for some lunch and got a text when it was done saying it had passed. I've used them many times now and will continue to do so and recommend them to anyone that asks locally where to go.

Highly recommended, trustworthy garage. Would use again without hesitation. Took my car here with what I thought was a well known issue. Turns out I had misdiagnosed the problem. The car didn't need the parts I thought it would and I was presented with a bill of around a fifth of what I was expecting !!

Went back Monday morning and was met by the most pleasant lady for my MOT. They completed the MOT in the time allocated and both the mechanic and the lady who work there are a pleasure to deal with. Excellent customer service, could not be more helpful and welcoming. If you want to get your MOT done efficiently and with service that you cannot fault, I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

I have been a customer on and off for a few years, but recently needed a quick bit of work doing and they have been superb. I contacted them late one night when my car was indisposed and I had an email back early the next morning saying to bring it in as soon as I could and they would see to it. I arrived in the car and the chap on reception had made the link with my email and had the problem sorted within no time. I had a further problem and had to go back a few days later. Again, a phone call and they saw me straight away - they managed a very quick repair. Even sitting in reception an observing the manner in which customers were dealt with on the phone and in person was refreshing. I have had really mixed experiences with garages but I have been so impressed with MOTest Farnham I've felt moved to write my first ever Google Review. I feel confident in recommending them because of their speed, efficiency and helpful manner.

At last I've found a garage that I can trust. The work and explanation on what was done plus any potential issues to plan for when the MOT is due was really good. They sorted out a brake problem earlier in the year and I've just had a major service, timing belt and water pump replacement. Top marks.

Accommodated my van last minute as it had broken down. Due to traffic and van being towed we arrived later than planned just before they closed. Our lift to get home was arriving after closing time. 2 members of staff stayed behind after hours so that me and the family could stay warm inside the waiting room than waiting in the cold while we waited for our lift. This was much appreciated as it was freezing. Was kept informed of the progress of the repair every step of the way and repaired was completed promptly. Great service, have been using Motest in Camberley and Farnham for a few years now. Both branches are excellent.
