I used the site to book an MOT

I used the site to book an MOT. I needed one quickly and the site allowed me to search easily for a garage that was available sooner rather than later. I booked through the site and got a message within minutes from the garage confirming my booking. Very happy with the service and I will definitely use this site again next year.

Thank you for your review.
We're pleased to hear that you found the booking process easy and straightforward.
We apologise for the confusion when you arrived and found that your booking had not been actioned by the garage.
Having reviewed the booking, we can see that BookMyGarage notified the garage as soon as your booking was submitted and that the booking was opened by Hawks Garage just 17 minutes later.
It therefore appears that, unfortunately, the booking slipped through the net at the garage's end.
We apologise on their behalf for the inconvenience this caused.
That said, we're very pleased that the team were able to accommodate you on the day and honour the advertised BookMyGarage price, ensuring you still received the service you booked at the agreed cost.
Thank you for your understanding and for bringing this to our attention.
Your feedback is valuable, and we hope your next experience is completely seamless from start to finish.
Kind regards,
BookMyGarage

Excellent Service from Start to Finish

I recently used Sparrowhauk garage and was very impressed with the service. The staff were professional, friendly, and kept me informed throughout the process. The booking system was straightforward and easy to use, making it simple to arrange my appointment. The work was completed efficiently, and the price was very reasonable for the quality of service provided. I would definitely recommend this garage and will happily use them again in the future. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

forgettable

The whole experience with budget tyres has been unsatisfactory. MOT appointments were cancelled multiple times by smithdown rd, had to book with speke rd. Paid for full service but the fluids were not done which is basic. Tracking is a joke, redone it yet no change. absolute waste of time and money.

***UPDATE***
Thank you for taking the time to speak with us and for providing further feedback.
We appreciate you clarifying that you do not hold BookMyGarage responsible for the issues you experienced, however, we are very sorry to hear that your experience with the participating garages has left you feeling unable to use Budget's services again.
We understand how frustrating it must have been to have your booking repeatedly cancelled by the first garage due to availability issues, and then to lose confidence in the second garage's ability to carry out the work as expected. This is not the standard of service we aim to deliver through our network of garages.
Please be assured that we will be following up directly with the garages involved, as this is not the type of feedback we expect to receive.
Customer feedback is invaluable in helping us identify and address issues with our partners.
Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention, and we are sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment caused.
We wish you all the best moving forward.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
We are very sorry to hear about your experience and apologise that the service you received did not meet your expectations.
We can see that you have also left a review for Budget Tyres & MOT Speke Road, which we hope will encourage the garage to contact you directly to discuss and address the issues you have raised regarding your MOT appointment cancellations, servicing concerns, and wheel alignment.
We take feedback such as this very seriously and would like to understand more about what happened.
We have attempted to contact you by phone and have left a voicemail.
Speaking with you directly will help us gain a clearer understanding of the situation so that we can also raise these concerns with the garage ourselves as part of our internal review process.
When you have a moment, please call us back using the details provided in our voicemail, and we will be happy to discuss this further.
We look forward to speaking with you and hopefully helping to reach a satisfactory resolution.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we're sorry for the confusion surrounding your booking.
Having investigated this, we can confirm that your booking was sent to Group 1 Basingstoke immediately after you submitted it on 7 July at 3:56pm.
However, the email was never opened by the garage, which unfortunately meant that the booking slipped through the net at their end.
As a result, the information you were given does not appear to reflect what actually happened.
All of our partner garages are expected to contact customers within four working hours of a booking being made, so we're sorry that this process was not followed in your case.
That said, we're pleased to hear that the garage was still able to accommodate you and complete the work when you arrived.
We will be discussing this matter directly with the garage to establish why the booking was missed and to help prevent similar occurrences in the future.
Thank you for your feedback, and please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Kind regards,
