Cathays Motor Services

Very helpful and friendly service. £50 for MOT including re-test fee, but be aware that they do not have the facilities to do the heavier vehicles (i.e. they do class 4s but not class 7s).

Quite pricey at £50 and they are in no rush to book you back for a retest if it fails. The least lenient tester I've ever seen an I've seen alot. I would never recommend them

Just took my car to them, probably one of the only trustworthy mechanics out there! Fast & reliable service

Fantastic service as usual. Took my little Citroen here last month for its yearly check up, I’ve been having recurrent issues with the tracking after taking it to Halfords a couple of times while living away (defo avoid going there) Kev sorted my service and MOT, sourced some decent price tyres, and fixed the tracking - and requested I bring the car back to check the tracking again once the tyres settled. Took it back in today and the tracking is still perfect - Kev checked it for free AND sorted another ongoing issue I have and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the service at this garage, they always try to fit you in if there’s space (they’re very in demand cuz they’re so good) I’d recommend them to anyone needing a good garage!

Probably wouldn’t walk in and demand your car be done on the day without a prior booking - if you want a garage that can do that then go to Halfords (you might risk having your tracking destroyed 😂)

Cheers Kev 👍

Quick reliable service very knowledgeable.excellent communication.fab all round.

I was told on the Wednesday to bring my car in for repair on the Friday. I arrived at the garage early on Friday morning, only to be told that I was never put on the books and therefore they would not fix my car. I alerted them to the fact that they specifically told me to bring my car in Friday and they completely snapped. They began to raise their voices at me and told me not to start an argument. I was not angry or shouting, I was just asserting the fact it was not my fault they forgot to put me on the books. The employee continuously referred to me as 'girlie,' whilst shouting at me, it was extremely condescending and eventually he yelled 'maybe you should go elsewhere GIRLIE'. I left in tears as I could not believe the way I was treated when it was their error.
They clearly lack the necessary communication, organisation and professionalism to run a garage. I am appalled by my experience and would not recommend this place to ANYONE.

They've looked after my car for over 20 years. Friendly & communicative staff. Would very much recommend.

Fantastic service, very reasonably priced and can't recommend highly enough.
