⚠️ Very disappointing MOT experience
You might wonder why I’m posting this almost a year later. Honestly, I didn’t bother writing a review at the time. But recently, something reminded me of this experience, and it brought back how disappointed and uncomfortable I felt that day. I felt it was finally worth sharing so other people can be careful.
I took my 2015 Ford Focus to Norfolk Garage Ltd for an MOT in August 2025.
* 🔧 Before the MOT, I was told the car needed several repairs.
* 💷 I explained that I had already spent a lot on the car and £300 was my maximum budget.
* 📋 I was later presented with a £520 bill.
* ⚠️ I was charged £60 for the tyre-pressure warning and £60 for the engine warning light. When I asked whether the engine issue had actually been repaired, I was told the warning light had simply been cleared/reset.
* ❓ As someone without much mechanical knowledge, I was left questioning what work had actually been carried out and whether all the recommended repairs were necessary.
* 😡 When I politely questioned the bill and asked if they could reduce it, the employee became very rude and shouted at me.
I trusted their professional assessment, but I left feeling extremely disappointed and that I had not been treated fairly.
👉 My advice: always ask for a detailed written quotation, confirm exactly what work is being carried out, and get a second opinion before authorising major repairs.
I personally would not use this garage again for an MOT or major repairs.
Great service and excellent quality

Always take both cars here for various things and the lads are always top notch quick and reliable.
So far, I have had an oil change done at Norfolk garage, new front brake pads and discs and four tyres fitted and an Aircon re-gas. Their prices are extremely competitive and significantly lower than other garages in the area. I also took my car to them for it’s MOT, which is actually done at another local garage and it passed with no advisories and the cost was only £30. Therefore, all my experiences at this Garage have thus far being very good.
I called them before about the tyre stock, and when I reached there, I waited for 2 hours. And less communication
