I stopped going there when I mistook the MOT date (my fault obv) and turned up a day too late and they just said the MOT was yesterday


When I asked why they hadn't contacted me when I didn't turn up, as I could have had the car there within ten minutes, they had no reply.


So now I take it to Dells in Handler Road.

Seconded, I've always found the guys in there really helpful and they don't try to rip you off by making you spend money before you need to. My last MOT and test my back tyres were getting worn but still good enough to get through the MOT and they said that given the low mileage I did, they thought I would be able to wait until next MOT to change them and just told me to come back sooner if my mileage went up compared to prior years.

On the basis of this thread, I picked the Dulwich Test Centre on Tyrell Rd for the MOT & mini service which were done yesterday. This is my first car/first MOT so I was a bit worried about the cost. It is also a second hand car which I purchased about 5 months ago.


I found Paul and his brother very professional, reasonable and very reliable. As mentioned in the previous thread, they don't try to rip you off and recommend what needs to be fixed in the future. Of course, this wasn't anything urgent but what I liked they did not put any pressure on me to have it fixed by them and straight away. They just made me aware of the issue and let me to decide which I appreciated.


I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.


Kind regards

+1 for the Test Centre in Deptford. Have been 3 years in a row with my 18yr old BMW convertible. They are very reasonably priced, thorough and efficient. As Alec1 says, they offer a free re-test if you fail and do not do any repairs, so it's in their interest for you to pass!


The only fault they ever found was a broken light bulb - the one thing they can fix for you - which they did for ?2.


Last time I went, I happened to go to KwikFit a couple of weeks after for a new tyre, and they tried to flog me all sorts of 'fixes for problems' that would soon fail an MOT. Told them to take a hike :-)

    • Malumbu, you're absolutely right. The vet bills due to attacks on neighbouring cats are certainly not insignificant at all. The wounds can even lead to fatalities. I always urge clients, neighbours & community posters to target the root cause, as opposed to skirting around the underlying & often persistent issue. Connecting with local organisations like Celia Hammond Animal Trust, Cats Protection or Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) initiatives is a longterm solution. This is heighlighted, although briefly, under Improving Community Wellbeing. - I'd also like to highlight that if ever unsure whether the culprit is intact, owned or feral, & are hesitant to report, just in case it's a neighbour's neutered cat, you can call upon a Scan Angel or our team at TWB to check for a microchip first. - If the culprit does happen to be a neighbour's neutered cat, there are a variety of solution; both immediate & longterm that I would be more than happy to help with. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected]
    • Also wanted to leave my recommendation for Lukasz. He came completely on time, was highly efficient, did everything we asked and more without charging extra and left the place immaculate. A real gem - we will definitely use him again! 
    • Not sure if you added Tomd that have not been neutered terrorising other cats in the area.  Happened round here.  Would have been tempted to castrate the tom if I'd caught it.  Water pistol was not a deterrent.  Vets bills due to various attacks on other moggies was not insignificant 
    • That's good news. I saw that DVillage is also being renovated. Now the pavement in front is wider and flatter with the recent works, they'll have a nice setup indoors and outdoors.
