The Best Car Repair And Mot Garages in Hindley, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

Took my car in for an MOT expecting the worst (problems with the car), MOT was at 10 and by half 11 I had a call saying it had passed with no advisories which was a big relief! I also left some loose change in the car and my dash cam/a few other bits I forgot to take out and it was all still there when picking up (car wash in the area wasn't so trustworthy!). The receptionist was really friendly and nice, MOT was £48 so I can't complain at all! It's my new regular!

Good garage, been there for 2 services quick and reliable

Probably the most reliable and knowledgeable garage I’ve used, both my wife and I take our vehicles here, always a great service, good pricing and honest. I would recommend John above anybody else.

I have been bringing my vehicles here for as long as I have lived in Atherton, so at least 30 years. John and Alison run a great business, honest and trustworthy not to mention truthful, even if it is bad news lol. Currently bring our family car, company car and campervan here for all their needs! Wont go anywhere else. Great pricing and super reliable. Keep it up guys, loving the new waiting area by the way😀

Friendly, helpful and convenient for me when my bike MOT was due

I've used Jay-mech garage a while and they have never let me down. Car has been in a few times in the past 3 months with different suspension/steering noises. Jay-mech were able to diagnose and repair the issues. Reasonably priced and also provide you with information on repairs.

Been going to these guys for my mot for over 4 yrs now .. not only my cars but motorbike too .. very good service ,friendly and well priced ..

Super super garage, We use them for both our cars and my son and daughter in law use them now as well! Just recommended them to a friend at work. Peace of mind, you know they will do exactly what they need to do. Trust them totally. Highly recommended wont go anywhere else every again. Keep up the good work guys! :-)

I've used Jeff for many a year now and wouldn't go to anyone else, I've been ripped of from so many local garages before, until someone told me about Cross Keys Garage, Jeff his a true gentleman, he tells you the Truth with no Bull, just say what's wrong and when he can fit you in. The main thing you all want to know his. 1. Price ...... spot on and very fare. 2. Job ...... brilliant service, done 100%. 3. Punctuality ..... quality of being on time.

Took my car to Jeff and wouldn't think of going elsewhere again! Sorted out my '03 Polo for an MOT and other work and it's handling like new. Really fair price, can't ask for more really. Thanks guys, will be coming back for sure!

Jeff is a brilliant guy, very helpful and knowledgable. A proper old school mechanic. Dropped my car off which needed welding sorting for the MOT. I got it back the very same day and for a great price too. Very handy to have him look after my old cars. Thanks Jeff

Superb customer service. I rang up as my boot wouldn't unlock. Even though they were mad busy they managed to fit me in. Great, friendly and professional. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely, superb garage wouldn't go anywhere else. MOT are spot had a problem with my fan got it diagnosed and fixed no problems well recommended

I've been taking my car to Claxtons for years now, and I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. After being ripped off by another company, a friend highly recommended Claxtons, and honestly, I wish I’d known about them sooner! Ste and Jamie are absolutely fantastic mechanics. They’re honest, skilled, and always go above and beyond to make sure your car is running perfectly. You never feel like you’re being taken advantage of, just good, reliable service at a fair price. On top of that, they’re both easy on the eyes, so even waiting for a quote isn’t too bad! 😉 If you’re looking for a trustworthy garage with top-notch service, Claxtons is the place to go. Highly recommend! Gem x

Had a few minor issues on my car fixed today. The service was very thorough. I took my car in at 9am this morning and it was ready by 11am. So pleased with the service- Friendly staff and reasonable prices.

Great honest garage you can trust took my car for mot and to get a job done price they gave me was same as the bill when I picked it up later keep up the good work

The receptionist at Acton Garage went above and beyond to help me out when I needed an M8 drill bit to fix my boot latch. I couldn't pop out to grab the M8 drill bit due to my crazy NHS rota at WWL Trust, but the receptionist at Acton Garage came to the rescue! They found the bit and let me use it without any charge. Exceptional service from Acton Garage, especially that receptionist who truly understands the value of helping others in need.

Excellent service every time. Have used this garage for over a decade. Highly trustworthy.

Have used this garage for twenty years and have always had excellent service from them. The mechanics are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, their customer service is second to none and prices very reasonable.

Best garage you will ever find.

Brilliant service - been here today with a puncture and the lads were fast and reasonably priced! Highly recommend, Thank you!

Very reasonably priced and a freindly, professional service 🙂

Best staf and friendly and good price

Excellent service and price.. Cheers guys

So I know I've already sung the praises of this business so why add more? Well, when the chips are down and the world is kicking you where it hurts, having a team of people who are willing to pull the stops out for you to at least solve your transport issues is both comforting and reassuring, knowing that whatever the problem is, it will be resolved and it will be done properly. This week both cars have developed issues that have taken them off the road!! I know ..... what are the chances! A phone call provided lots of advice on how to solve things quickly and at minimal cost. Sadly, not that easy. Anyway, one car is in there this morning, the other is being picked up later today. But it's not just the fact that they calmly get you through it, it's the way it's done. Always treat people the way you would want them to treat you they say and everyone here seems to have the same philosophy which is why I say it's comforting coming here. Smiles, good mornings, how are you, don't worry we've got this ...... you just know you're in safe hands here. This is the third garage review I've done. Now that does not mean I can't find a decent garage, in fact, if you look at my reviews they are all very positive. So why another. Logistics is the answer. I have been lucky, or I've researched my services thoroughly beforehand, whichever, and it seems my luck is continuing. I needed somewhere more accessible so I sat on Google and searched around and M&R have some positive feedback. It's well deserved. I was met by the owners when I walked in one afternoon to discuss the problem on my car. They were very reassuring and arranged for me to drop it off the following. One of the team called me a little later that day, explained exactly what was wrong, gave me a price, ordered the parts and it was ready for collection just after lunch the next day. Everyone seems approachable, knowledgeable and willing to help. This is a full service garage that isn't overpriced and I happen to know they are expanding their services into things like supplying tyres. There are sadly some dubious garages still out there but if you do your research, there are some great garage services around. I have already arranged to call back in here for a little job to be fixed and I will be booking both cars in for a full service over the next few weeks. Thanks everyone.

Fast response, got the car in in no time and the repairs carried out were done well, at a low cost and had plenty of communication throughout the process. good garage and friendly people👍.

Good first impressions over the phone when booking in, very polite. Same thing when I walked in the office. Same level of respect from the technicians. Had my alternator changed for a few hours. My battery charged and checked for free. A vacuum pipe changed for free which I was not aware was faulty at all. Everything met and exceeded my expectations really. You don't really get that level of service in any other garage from my personal experience. First time in but definitely would recommend based on my experience so far. You get an invoice straight to your email either which is quite handy for future references. A big thank you and a big thumbs up to the whole team 👍

M&R really helped me out and got my car fixed within the day, even staying late to finish it off for me. Would highly recommend M&R Motor services and can't say thank you enough! Great team, really polite and helpful and made a stressful situation more bearable!

This place is a honest ,and trusting business. They tell you exactly what is needed and how much it will cost trusted place to take you vehicle

Never had any issues with this garage and been a customer for several years, thankfully only needing services and MOTs mainly. Would definitely recommend and great service from them in general.

*resolved* This garage did an MOT and intermediate service for my vehicle. Unfortunately the pollen filter was not replaced properly and the cabin was blowing cold air the faster I drove. We tried to take it back to rectify the issue but the problem was not initially resolved due to a misunderstanding of the issue. We have since spoken to a different member of staff who was extremely helpful, resolved the issue and was very apologetic.

Awesome garage perfect service every time would recommend

Great garage, the guys here are bob on. They're reliable, very quick and honest - which is what you want from any mechanic, would recommend for anyone who needs anything doing regarding their vehicle, wether it be an MOT or just general repairs.

Took my car to be MOT'd. Friendly open staff. Efficient, reliable and dependable. I shall definitely be using them again and again.

Service to daughter’s car. Fast, efficient and good communication. Recommended 👍

Excellent service from these guys yesterday. Called in to see if they could repair a puncture on my van that I had just picked up around the corner. You could hear the air hissing out of the tyre. They repaired it straight away despite already being busy with other vehicle repairs. They had me back on the road in less than 30 minutes. I would 100% recommend this garage. Polite, friendly & professional. What more could you ask for?

Been going hear for 40 years. Great family run business. Keith and his sons Michael and Richard are friendly and allways helpful. Will help resolve any issues and nothing is any trouble. Highly recommended if you need a fair MOT with no alternative agenda to get unnecessary work out there customers.

Been coming here for over 20years with my cars, 15 years with the same one :), good honest family run MOT station, they wont try blag you to make money off you, it its a fail its a fail, if its all in fine fettle it will pass! Great service as always, thankyou.

Best service I have ever had. Reasonable prices, good attitude to customers. Truly recommend! A +++

Top set of lads use them for all my mots have a laugh with them and can always try and squeeze you in if your desperate
