Syper

The ONLY place I’ve been getting my MOT done since 2019. Excellent job every single time. The waiting room is exceptional: clean and comfortable.

The guys here are polite, helpful and efficient. Have recommended my family and friends go here. 10/10

Had slots available on the same day, really good bunch of lads that did a thorough check on my car. Great service! Would recommend 100%

Been getting my MOT done from here for the past 3 years, they do a really good job. Even if they are booked up they will squeeze you in. Would highly recommend.

Shocking. Got here for them to tell me thet can’t do my MOT, gave me no reason why. Not polite at all. No manners an garage filthy

Best place ever they did my mot and very helpful all guys was chatting with me and can’t praise them enough

Excellent service. In and out quickly and got my MOT sorted.

I recently had my first MOT and service done on my first car at this garage, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Raj, the manager, was incredibly thorough and explained everything clearly. She took the time to explain me the issues and discuss the best solutions. The work was completed efficiently, and the prices were reasonable. Highly recommend this garage, especially with Raj’s excellent management.

I came in from a MOT and they were efficient and very friendly. They quickly indentified what was wrong and what needed to be replaced. Within a couple of hours the service was completed and I was on my way! They were transparent and showed me exactly what was wrong! Raj at the Reception was very friendly and we had a great chat!!

I’ve visited this garage three times now and every time the service has been excellent. Zain and the whole team are amazing – always professional and helpful. This time, my car needed a whole day’s work, and they even provided me with a courtesy car for the day, which made things so much easier. The next day my car was ready to collect, and the standard of work was outstanding as always. Highly recommended! ❤️

Returning customer : This Garage provides a top-notch service. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient, making the entire MOT process smooth and stress-free. Their attention to detail and thorough inspection ensure that your vehicle is in safe hands. I highly recommend Smart MOT for anyone looking for reliable and professional MOT services. Mr Haseeb is a gem and the reason why I don’t need to look elsewhere ever .

Fantastic customer service. Very calm temperament from everyone in the garage and honest pricing and a very efficient service. Somewhere you can really trust!

I was satisfied with this garage. I went there with a list what I want to have done and the owner gave me a price quote at £1500. After 4 weeks I had finally some free time so I went there again and add front coil springs as well for additional £100. I agreed with price and send £800 deposit because all 4 adaptive shocks absorbers, 4 coil springs and 2x wishbone bushes were expensive themselves. After the transfer he booked my car straight in only 2 days after. I did not expect that but I was gladly surprised. On the day of service I brought my car, gave them my key (before he took my car key, he said that spare parts were more expensive and service will be £200 more expensive – I agreed because it was still a good price) and fill up one simple form. I told the owner if a mechanic finds anything else wrong or damaged on my car just lemme know the price. During the day we exchanged several messages about wishbone bushes (need to be exchanged a whole lower arm including the bushes) and all drop links as well. I agreed because I do not want to have any problems when I do next MOT. At about 4pm the same day my car was ready to pick up but I did not make it that day. Another day in the morning I paid the rest of money for the service and got my car key. All together cost me less then £2000. Yes, my Volkswagen Passat estate 2015 is an old car but price of the service including labour was definitely worth it. When I opened my car both front seats were covered by protective foil against dirt and they gave me a car hanging air freshener with their logo and contacts which was also a nice way how to treat a customer. On the invoice was not any note about 4-wheel alignment but I noticed that when I was gone so I rather had the alignment done by a local garage the same day. In general, I was happy with the service, communication, speed and price.

Great, honest and professionals.

I’ve been going here since 2018, service has always been perfect. Mot, service and any other miscellaneous repairs needed.

Thank you Haseeb and the team for your service

• They accept card payments
• Parking available
• Reception & waiting area

I had an excellent experience with this mechanic. From the moment I arrived, they were professional, friendly, and honest about what needed to be done. They took the time to explain the issues with my car in simple terms and provided a clear breakdown of costs with no hidden extras. The work was completed quickly and to a very high standard, and my car now runs better than ever. It’s rare to find such trustworthy service these days, and I really appreciate the care and attention they put into their work. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending them to friends and family!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Top Marks for Oaklands Garage – A Genuine 10/10 Experience!

I don’t usually write reviews, but after my recent visit to Oaklands Garage, I felt compelled to share just how brilliant they were.

I dropped my car off for its MOT on Monday morning, expecting the usual wait and uncertainty. To my surprise, they had it all sorted within 2 hours — no fuss, no delays. When I came back to collect it, Kash greeted me with a warm smile and took the time to walk me through the MOT (passed) report. It wasn’t just a quick handover, he explained everything clearly and even suggested I come back soon for a service, which felt more like friendly advice than a sales pitch.

What really stood out was the genuine care and professionalism. The whole experience felt personal, not transactional. I left feeling confident, informed, and genuinely looked after.

Customer service like this is rare these days 10/10 without a doubt. I honestly can’t fault them, and I’ll definitely be returning. If you’re looking for a garage that treats you and your car with respect, Oaklands is the one.

Thanks again, Kash and team, you’ve earned this glowing review!

Excellent customer service. I got my engine oil changed with them just covering the labour. Very reasonable price. Got my MOT done too and got the issue fixed very quick and very reasonable price too.

Absolutely! Here’s a more personal and sincere version of the review:
5*

Really impressed with the service here. I brought my car in for its MOT and was made to feel welcome right away. The team were honest, straightforward, and took the time to explain what was going on, which I really appreciated. It’s not always easy to find a garage you can trust, but I felt in good hands from start to finish. Thanks again – I’ll definitely be back next time!

Want to include any specific names or details (like how long you’ve been going there, or something they did that stood out)? I can tailor it more if you like.

Had slots available on the same day, really good bunch of lads that did a thorough check on my car. Great service!
Would definitely recommend to friends and family

Friendly, honest service and good workmanship.

Oakland MOT did a great job with my car.

I went in for my MOT and service thinking I had a clutch problem.

They checked it over, changed the oil, replaced the cabin filter and sorted a few other small fixes.

The car now runs much smoother and is far more enjoyable to drive.

Took my car in for its MOT and couldn’t be happier with the service. The staff were friendly, professional, and explained everything clearly. The test was completed fairly quick and they even gave me a heads-up about things to keep an eye on for next time. Fair pricing and no pushy upselling—just honest, reliable work. Will definitely be coming back!

Excellent service! Visited for an MOT on 21.07.25 12.15pm.

Only two members of staff on site and both were extremely busy. Nevertheless, they were professional, courteous and friendly throughout – providing for several customers at the same time: all of whom were dealt with using the highest possible standards. Very welcoming and always made the time to put the costumers first.

Highly recommended and the staff were outstanding ambassadors for the company!

Thank you!

Booked in for an MOT yesterday and again this morning. Had to rebook because MOT’er did a quick inspection and told me my car would fail because of my number plate. Store manager made some calls and arranged for new plates to be fitted and moved my slot to this morning with no extra charge. Really good service and friendly staff, so I’m very pleased.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had a great experience at Kiki Fit yesterday! It’s a fantastic garage, and Marni, the manager, was outstanding. He was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled smoothly. The service was quick, efficient, and high-quality. I left feeling confident in the work done and appreciated the excellent customer service. Highly recommend Kiki Fit—and especially Marni—for anyone looking for a trustworthy and well-run garage.

This is the only Kwik Fit I’ll be going to from now on! I had to get a tyre changed today, and the team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Friendly, efficient and genuinely helpful. They made the whole process smooth and stress-free. It’s rare to find a team that delivers both excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere, but they nailed it. Thank you so much for taking care of everything so professionally. Highly recommended!

All I needed was a puncture repair but even though I had booked in and given all the van details they said they couldn’t do it. The first person that greeted me was very polite and apologetic but the guy who came out to look at the tyre was quite surly and gave the impression that it was nearly home time and couldn’t be bothered. Company policy meant they couldn’t jack it up inside, outside or put on the ramp as my van has side skirts. I’ve been to plenty of tyre places where this has never been an issue. In fact there was another car there which couldn’t be done either so to save anyone wasting their time I’d suggest asking more questions about the vehicle. Disappointed.

Staff are really helpful and friendly would definitely recommend this location as a walk in,

I had a 2+ hour delay from a 16:00 appointment time on the delivery of my tyres, The staff were helpful and kept chasing the delivery constantly they kept the shop open past opening hours with staff until the delivery arrived then fitted all the tyres, as my availability was only that day top notch service , whilst waiting I also noticed them help other walk in customers with various issues in between appointments,

Customer service on the other hand im not so impressed with, when notified of the issue I was offered a £30 gift card to use in future, My vehicle has 4 new tyres now so that giftcard would expire most likely before a new tyre is needed,

I can’t thank the team at Quickfit perry barr enough for their help. After my car failed its MOT due to the wiper blades, they not only sorted out fitting the replacements quickly but also managed to fit me in first thing the next morning to get everything retested and sorted. A special thanks to Marni, who was incredibly helpful and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Super friendly, efficient, and genuinely went out of their way to help – exactly what you need in a stressful moment. Great service from start to finish!

I came to this place after looking at the reviews and Google and it did not disappoint. Staff are friendly and welcoming and service is top notch. I strongly recommend this place for anyone looking to get their MOT done.

Just had my MOT done by Mo, and the guys at Villa Motoring Centre. What a great experience, all very efficient and Mo even made me a coffee while I waited. I will be back. I suggest you give them a try. Lovely people to deal with. Recommended.

Great service. Friendly staff and my MOT was done right on time

The place is very professional and great service. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They booked me same day and took care of my car like their own. Great guys now I’m a regular.

Great guys, very friendly and fast service, couldn’t fault them. Recommend to anyone needing their MOT done.

Great service! Called on the day and managed to get an appt. Whole service throughout was great and staff were very polite! I was desperate to get my MOT sorted. Highly recommend!

Great experience with the team at Villa Motors. I called last minute and they managed to fit me in. Top quality service. Will keep using them

Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended!

I can not thank the team at Fast Fit Auto Centre enough especially Richard and Kellie, for their incredible support and professionalism in helping me sort out a recent issue with my car. From the moment I arrived, they were welcoming, reassuring and clearly committed to getting the job done right.

Richard was exceptionally knowledgeable and took the time to clearly explain the issue, while Kellie made the whole process smooth and stress-free with her friendly and efficient communication. It’s rare to find such a well-run team that truly cares about their customers.

Thanks to their expertise and dedication, my car is back on the road. I genuinely appreciate their honest advice, prompt service and the personal touch they brought to the experience.

Thank you again, Richard and Kellie, for going above and beyond. I would not hesitate to recommend Fast Fit Auto Centre to anyone in need of quality car repairs, you’ve definitely earned a loyal customer! Thank you so much for everything.

Fasst Fit Auto Centre in Kings Heath truly deserves all the praise. From the moment I arrived, I was looked after with outstanding customer service. A special mention to Kellie and Richard, who were both incredibly helpful, professional, and friendly throughout. They made the whole process smooth and stress-free, keeping me updated and explaining everything clearly.

The work was carried out quickly and to a high standard, and the pricing was fair and transparent. It’s rare to find a garage that combines speed, skill, and such genuine customer care. I’ll definitely be using Fast Fit again and recommending them to others. Thanks again to Kellie and Richard for going above and beyond!

5 Stars – These guys know what they’re doing!

I’ve used Fast Fit a couple of times now and honestly, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The service is always spot on—quick, professional, and super friendly. Big shoutout to Kellie and Richard who always go above and beyond. They really know their stuff and take the time to explain things without making you feel clueless.

Every time I’ve brought my car in, the work’s been done properly and on time. No messing around, no surprise costs, just solid, reliable service. You can tell they actually care about doing a good job and looking after their customers.

Highly recommend if you’re after a garage you can actually trust!

I had an emergency with my car last week and my friend highly recommended Fast Fit, she’s used them for years. They went above and beyond to fault find then were super quick to get the part ordered and my vehicle back on the road in time for my family trip to the Lake District this week! So friendly and helpful, can’t thank you all enough! A family run business too. Highly recommend.

I had a knocking noise underneath the front of my car, I took it to Fast Fit,they looked at it,told me the fault,ordered the parts and my car was repaired in under an hour. Fantastic service and pricing,would definitely recommend

Used Fast fit Auto for a few years after recommendation from a friend. I highly recommend Richard and his team. Always great service, quality work and fair prices. Happy customer

£260 Spent, Problem Still Not Fixed After Four Visits

I brought my car in March 2025 for a noise coming from the front suspension. I was told it would be a simple fix costing around £120 to replace the top strut mount. However, during the job a bolt was seized and insisted on replacing the entire left-side suspension (shock absorber, coil spring, and mount), pushing the price up to £260.

I agreed to the extra work in good faith, hoping the issue would be resolved — but the exact same noise returned within days.

I brought the car back three more times. On one visit, they refitted the parts to check for loose fittings. From the next visit, they just denied the noise was there anymore. I have clear video evidence showing the noise was still there after the repair, but this was dismissed multiple times.

I was then told more parts would need to be replaced for the problem to be fixed, but I did not want to continue as its just more guesswork, which I would have to pay for, just for the issue to potentially not be fixed.

They then also said the initials parts they replaced needed replacing regardless of the issue. The car is almost 10 years old, most likely everything would need replacing with that logic.

Its against the Consumer Act / Trading Standards to replace parts if there is no basis for it.

After four visits and no improvement, I asked for a refund as the original issue had never been fixed.

Instead of taking responsibility, the owner’s wife shouted in front of junior staff and customers, saying I’d never get my money back even if I contacted Trading Standards.

Completely unprofessional and unacceptable behaviour. I have been their 4 times and even despite the issue I am facing, everyone else was rational, so unsure why the receptionist had such a problem when I have never spoken to her before.

I would strongly advise anyone to avoid this garage if you expect proper diagnostics, skilled repair work, or respectful customer service.

You can see from other 1 star reviews that this problem has happened before, customers paying for parts and labour and problems not being fixed even after multiple visits.

Really feel sorry for any elderly or vulnerable customers they may have who are potentially paying for parts and work that they did not need.

Huge shoutout to the incredible team at The Heartlands Centre – true legends! I brought my car in with a few issues, and they handled everything swiftly and with real expertise. From start to finish, the communication was clear, the staff were friendly, and the quality of work was outstanding. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was sorted, and now my car drives like new. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, skilled, and reliable service. Thanks again, team – you’ve definitely earned a loyal customer!

Huge thanks to the fantastic team at The Heartlands Centre – absolute stars! My husband took our car in with a few issues, and they handled everything quickly and professionally. From start to finish, the communication was spot on, the staff were friendly, and the quality of the work was excellent. They really went above and beyond to get everything sorted, and now the car drives like new. We’re both so impressed and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for honest, skilled, and reliable service. Thanks again – you’ve definitely earned loyal customers!

I recently visited Heartlands Auto Centre and couldn’t be more impressed with the level of service I received. From the moment I walked in, the staff were friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. They took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me updated throughout the process, and delivered the work right on time.

The quality of the repair/service was top-notch, and it’s clear they take pride in what they do. It’s rare to find a garage that combines expert workmanship with excellent customer care, but Heartlands Auto Centre gets it just right.

Highly recommended – I’ll definitely be returning for any future car needs. Thanks again to the whole team!

Thw worst experience i ever had. Very very bed service and proper fraud and bogus workshop. I went for my DPF cleaning. They charged a lot without any work. My car show same problem next day again, i went there again. But they did the same thing without any proper cleaning. It’s turn again same problem next day. Never trust them. Best to avoid this workshop. Dishonest people.

A massive note of gratitude and thanks to the fantastic team at The Heartlands Auto Centre especially brothers Tahir and Sadiq.
I have been taking my car and Mercedes Sprinter van to them for the past 6-7 years for both mechanical work and MOT inspections. They have always handled everything expediently and professionally.

Most recently the Mercedes van suffered a loss of power and lost some of its settings. They helped to restore the settings by taking it to the Mercedes specialists on Armoury Road. In addition a faulty pressure differential sensor was diagnosed which was replaced and now the van drives spot on. A new clutch and flywheel kit was also installed during this process.

From start to finish, the communication was spot on, the staff were friendly, and the quality of the work was excellent. They really went above and beyond to get everything sorted trying various options to get to the bottom of the issue and now the van drives like it should.

I have always been impressed with their customer service, workmanship and professionalism and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for mechanical work on their vehicles.

Honest, skilled, and reliable service! What more can you ask for?

Absolutely outstanding service!
I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From start to finish the team was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and—above all—genuinely friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure everything with my car was sorted to the highest standard, and they took the time to explain everything clearly without any pressure or jargon so I could clearly understand what was wrong and what’s best to do.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-quality service and a team you can trust. I’ll definitely be back for anything I need in the future.

I have been a loyal customer to Dacia for 9 years. I went in to the sales centre and spoke with Kam who helped me make the best decision on model for my family. He was so helpful with getting me the best deal. I had a small issue with my current car that needed sorting begore the change over and the sales manager James dealt with it efficiently and both staff members took all my worries away. They really appreciate the importance customer relations.

I had a great experience purchasing my car with the Sutton Group.
John was very helpful and knowledgeable, taking the time to answer all my questions and explain everything clearly. I never felt pressured at any point and I’m very happy with my purchase.
I would definitely recommend John and the Sutton Group to anyone looking for a vehicle.

Brilliant place! I had the pleasure of meeting with Mohammad for two different cars and each time is the most helpful and friendly service. He is so lovely and listens to exactly what we want and need. He’s helped me out so much with different situations. Thank you Mohammad. I’d absolutely recommend him and this place.

I came to Sutton Park to look at the Dacia Dusters. The service from John was great, he was friendly and approachable and was not pushy when discussing prices and budgets. He respected my budget and what I wanted and acted accordingly. The process afterwards was smooth and I had prompt communication from John and Dacia.
I would definitely recommend coming to Sutton park to look for a new car.

Kam has been very helpful with the transition of changing cars .He made sure we had all the information we needed. I could ask him questions about any thing I was unsure about.
Nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly and nice to talk too. Made me feel that I am right to keep coming back to Renault.

Kind , patient and helpful . ( and I asked lots of questions !) Kevin made my transition from petrol to EV very simple. He even called to make sure I was ok with the car a couple of days later . Perfect customer service .thank you Kevin

Had a very positive experience purchasing a used Dacia from John. He was very informative, helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend!
Car is in great condition and provided with new service and MOT. Very pleased with our purchase!

Took my car in for its MOT (bring it here every year as does my partner). Very helpful and friendly team as always, I was updated every step of the way, honest prices for repairs. Would recommend to anyone and will continue trusting them with my car.

I cannot recommend this garage enough. Every time we have gone there they have really looked after us. They have always been very clear, honest and genuine. We will definitely continue to use this garage going forward.

Really friendly garage, I came across them when I visited Birmingham and was having car troubles. They quickly fit me in near the end of the day. The man explained everything to me, what the initial problem they suspected it was and thankfully this sorted my issue.
I was a bit apprehensive going to an unknown garage, but felt really looked after. Would recommend to anyone.

Been using this garage for more than 20 years. The past 13 years they have maintained my Eclass which has now done 200k miles. Friendly, always advise whats best, very good mechanics

I saw a car for sale in Birmingham which I wished to purchase but car had limited history and receipts. As it was a high mileage car I wanted the cambelt to be changed before I set off home with the car (over 100 miles).

As I am not local I had no idea which garage to use but ultimately booked based on who was available to do the work at short notice + Google reviews. I had already ordered the parts for the job so was also looking for garages that work with customer supplied parts.

Can honestly say I have never been treated with as much respect and with such honesty from mechanics before. Generally they can come across condescending due to a layman’s lak of knowledge and despite there being an issue with the cambelt kit which I supplied, they called me in to show me the issue and let me decide how to proceed. Despite the defective part causing a delay of over an hour, I wasn’t charged a penny more than the quoted price despite me offering to pay for the time. (my fault as defect was with part I supplied)

Great service at Birmingham Auto Centre. Took my car there for a service, they shared a video of the underside to explain what work needed doing and what was in good nick. I then had an unrelated fault the following week. Unfortunately they couldn’t help as didn’t have the part, but they spent half an hour diagnosing the car, and didn’t charge me a penny for it.

Good, honest service, I will be returning in the future.

Great place to take your car. I needed an MOT doing and contacted them late Friday afternoon and they fitted me in the very next day for a full service and MOT. Staff super friendly and polite dropped the car 10.30 and it was ready by 3.30pm. Highly recommend.

Although I didn’t use their service prior to my request, as my go to was closed that day, they happily tightened the nuts on my wheels and politely declined my offer to pay even after I insisted. They were very polite and professional towards me and for that I give them a 5star rating.

I called in at 10am on a Sunday to get an MOT done on short notice.

They Booked in for 11am and got started straight away, fixed some small issues and gave a fresh wash at the end

Cheers lads highly recommend!!

Came here the first time and honestly it’s been such a good experience finally, I’ve been to many car places and they over price, with bad quality and this place got all four tires changed within 20 mins and the price was great too. Was stressed as I had to get back to work and wasn’t expecting my tire to blow out on me and I was back on the road as soon as possible. 100% going to be my go to place for my tires and other car work. Really happy with the outcome and tires was a good quality too. Definitely recommending to friends and family. Thank you Tyre Point.

I’ve been recommended by a friend to come to this garage and I couldn’t be more pleased with the services that my car received and also them costumer service! I highly recommend this guys!! Thank you

Took my vehicle As needed two tyres and MOT was given a fantastic service, also given a complimentary car wash highly recommended

Unfortunately woken up to flat tyre due
little incident with a pot hole a few days ago. Tried pumping tyre and it was wasn’t having any of it so I thought I must damage my rim. Called Tyrepoint (recommend from a very good friend) at 9:30 explain the situation and they were out within half an hour.
Defiantly recommend these guys, friendly, polite and very quick. Keep up the good work

Just had my break pads changed and discs.

The chap gave pumped my tyres for free so I asked about the sound my wheel was making.

He said you need new break pads and discs for both rear tyres.

Dropped my car off at 10.30
Picked up my car at 1.30

Quick work.

Nice! Would return again.
