Booking and Scheduling

Pros:

  • "Easy booking, helpful pre-MOT."
  • "Easy to book online, welcoming staff at the autocentre."
  • "Booked MoT online - no problem, brought the car prior to booked time, was called after MoT was complete, picked up the car with no problem."
  • "The booking process was easy (on the phone), and although they were booked solid, we found a time to get the work done before the MOT expired."
  • "Arrived and the car was taken straight away."
  • "Dropped car off 15 mins before appointment and car was ready to be picked up 40 minutes later."

Cons:

  • "A bit disappointing that you book online for a service and MOT, and get to pick your slot... Then turn up to drop off my car and was told that my service was 8:30 but my MOT wasn't until 4pm so I couldn't collect the car until 5pm."
  • "Booked online to have the coolant changed in my car at 2pm. Arrived and was told I would have to leave my car for the rest of the afternoon."
  • "Booked in at 10.30 to have 4 new tyres and arrived at 10.20 I was told there was a 2 hour wait."
  • "Was called by staff saying they didn't have any room to carry out the work until 4.30pm."
  • "I dropped my car off at 0830 and did not get it back till 1700."
  • "Very poor service. Do not believe the booking slots."
