First class service. Friendly manager & staff. The car developed a problem (nothing to do with the MOT) which the lads who work there set about fixing in their own time (after centre opening hours).... See more

Such a super service thats why I always come here thankyou😊
The guy who did my MOT was so helpful and kind
Great Service
Friendly, efficient, easy to book, standard charge, no pass no fee, been using them for as long as I can remember, 25 years or more.
The best
Just so convenient to book, get a slot at late notice and the while you wait service.
No fear that they are going to pressure you for them to fix advisories. No pass no fee is a bonus.
I hate garages expecting you to leave your car for a full day for a 40 minute MoT.
As a long-standing customer, I wholeheartedly recommend The Test Centre in Deptford!
Brilliant as always (I’ve been a customer for many years). ALL super-helpful team at Deptford (big shout out to Michael, Hoi, Ross, Carl, & especially David-S). Unlike main dealers who potentially have a hidden agenda to suggest to you that your car is a ‘borderline case’ to encourage you to pay for parts & labour you don’t actually need for the MOT, I trust the Test Centre implicitly: they have ZERO ulterior motive to fail your car, & have always given honest & helpful feedback if anything is even mildly borderline (I take care of my cars..). I wholeheartedly & unreservedly recommend them! 👏🏻👏🏻🙂
They do as they say
They do as they say. Always use them. Easy to book. Always on time. Friendly and professional. The chairs could be a bit more comfortable, but its only 30 minutes

Great MOT service as always but especially from Ali who did my MOT very recently!
Professional and pleasant
I have been bringing my cars for their MOTs here for well over 10 years. The service and atmosphere is always consistent; professional, organised and cheerful. They do a thorough job you can rely on and only do MOTs so they're not looking for problems that aren't there. They also remind you by text and emails when your MOTs are due. I highly recommend them.
Excellent service every time

Efficient srrvice
Efficient srrvice, the opening hours are convenient for busy people like myself.
Just wish that there was a centre nearer to my home.
Will keep returning.
Highly recommend for your MOT
They provide an excellent service with prompt attention to your car. I've been going there now for at least three years because I have trust in the policy of not paying for the MOT unless it passes. In the past I have been very suspicious of garages upselling services in addition to the MOT. I am very happy with the service and highly recommend anyone going there who just need an MOT done.

Always try to use this test centre because they are very efficient and effective plus the staffs are quite funny and kind. I always book an appointment and never had to wait for long and even without appointment the waiting is not that long for a very busy MOT centre. I definitely recommend The Test Centre Deptford.

I needed a mot done as it was due in 7 days, I looked online and found The Test Centre Dartford, and they was able to get me in the same day! Easy Online booking, NO upfront charges, turned up to my booking on time, friendly receptionist and got my mot, within a hour waiting. Would highly recommend using this company.

The usual high quality service, have been coming to this centre for the past five years and will definitely be booking again next year. The MOT staff are very professional and the reception staff very competent and sociable. Keep up the good work.
