Failed somewhere else?

Bring the sheet. We quote from it.

If another station has failed your car, send us a photo of the refusal certificate and we will price the repairs line by line. Then we fix it and either send you back for your free partial retest within the ten days, or test it here. Either way you only pay for the work, not for a second opinion.

Book a repair or a diagnostic.

Use the booking form and choose "Diagnostics" or "Repair", or ring the desk and describe the noise. We are good at noises.
