How long does an MOT take?
An MOT test typically takes around 45–60 minutes. If you also have repair work or a service carried out, it may take longer.
Can I wait while my MOT is done?
Yes, you’re welcome to wait while we carry out your MOT, or you can leave the car with us and collect it once the work is complete.
What happens if my car fails the MOT?
If your vehicle fails its MOT, we’ll go through the report with you and provide a clear quote for any repairs. We’ll only start work once you’re happy to proceed, and we’ll organise a retest once the issues have been fixed.
Do I need to pay when I book online?
No – when you book your MOT online through our BookMyGarage widget, you pay the garage directly on the day of your appointment.

Excellent Service and Great Value! I had my brake discs and pads replaced here, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. The team was professional, friendly, and got the job done the same day — which was a huge bonus! The price was very reasonable, and the quality of their work is top-notch. My car feels smooth and safe to drive again. Highly recommend this garage to anyone looking for honest, efficient, and professional service!Posted on Sandy GodberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great communication and fair pricesPosted on MARZ ZamanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Above and Beyond: MCR Auto Mechanic LTD and Mazhar Revived My Mini Cooper! I cannot recommend Mazhar at MCR Auto Mechanic LTD highly enough. I had acquired a Mini Cooper had been left unused for over a year, and I feared it was a lost cause. Just from making a phonecall and bare in mind I live in Yorkshire; from the outset, Mazhar demonstrated a level of dedication and professionalism that is truly rare to find. He took on the challenge without hesitation, even accepting the car at an incredibly late hour (10 p.m. on a Sunday evening) which immediately showed his commitment to customer service. Over the next two weeks, while I was away, Mazhar worked tirelessly to bring the Mini back to life. This wasn't just a simple service; it was a full-scale revival. The list of work was extensive, covering everything from the MOT and a full service to addressing numerous "miniature trivialities" that were anything but small. This included starting the car and fixing the bonnet latch and spring. Then carrying out numerous work, from; changing the brake pads and discs, replacing the CV boot, and fitting a new engine mount. His thoroughness and attention to detail were simply outstanding. What truly sets Mazhar apart is his integrity. Despite barely knowing me, he treated me with complete honesty and transparency throughout the entire process. I never once felt like he was running up the bill or doing unnecessary work. He answered every single one of my calls, keeping me informed of the progress and explaining everything clearly. He managed to get this sorted within two weeks at an extremely reasonable cost, bare in mind I was abroad for one of them weeks. When I picked up the car, it was like driving a brand new vehicle. The transformation was unbelievable. If you are looking for a trustworthy, highly skilled, and reliable mechanic who genuinely cares about his customers, Mazhar is your man and MCR Auto Mechanic LTD is where to go. For your peace of mind it is worth every penny. For his willingness to go above and beyond, I give him my highest possible recommendation. Thanks once again and I wish you all the success.Posted on Megan BensonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn’t recommend enough! When my car broke down on a Sunday afternoon this was the only garage open and they did a great job. I’ve been to them twice now and both time they fixed my car quickly at a reasonable price. Highly recommendPosted on GovTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were strangers in Manchester watching the cricket match between India and England. On the way back in the evening our BMW X1 broke down and un drivable. The car was recovered to the MCR Auto mechanic late in the evening. The garage staff were very efficient and correctly diagnosed the problem to be broken front suspension spring and strut. They procured the parts and replaced the broken components and the car was ready for us to be driven back home in Newcastle in a few hours. I am impressed by the honesty professionalism of the owner and the staff. The price was reasonable too. Highly recommend this garage.Posted on Tony RefailTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very prompt service. Was able to diagnose, repair and return my daughter's car within 24 hours. Her car had broken down on her way to Manchester from South Wales. Mazhar gave quick replies to correspondence and kept me updated throughout. This repair garage was selected at random (I'm not from or familiar with the area) and I was not disappointed. Great service, well done Mazhar and team. Thanks, Graham (South Wales)Posted on John MchelekaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fast and speedy recovery. Sorted out an issue I thought would be impossible. Will definitely be coming back if I need anything else doing!Posted on David LuckettiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Needed a garage quick due to my MOT expiring my own silly fault for forgetting about it. MCR Auto was very quick to reply to me and fitted me in right away. MOT and service was a breeze and MO was very accommodating to any questions I had, which not being much of car person myself it was much appreciated. Overall great experience and I will be back again next yearVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
