Motech Autocentres Ltd -

Friendly on the surface but in my experience are not trustworthy. Most recently they failed my MOT for one very small issue I'd already told them about, and asked them to sort beforehand. (I now have a totally avoidable fail certificate on my previously clean history, thanks a bunch...) When they called to inform me of the MOT fail they also lied about finding additional problems / fault codes I was unaware of. I was frustrated and so took the car away immediately suspecting foul play. A main dealer workshop could not find the issues Motech "informed" me of, so it's at least to me 100% proven that Motech attempted to scam me at least on this occasion. The car actually passed the MOT test days later after I simply replaced a glow plug, which I had asked them to do for me but alas... I was admittedly a bit foolish going there again. I gave them the benefit of the doubt after my last visit, thinking the MOT test was a simpler job so it'll be fine. My first experience with them, I came in with a different car and a clutch pedal that was stuck to the floor. After some research the problem appeared to be simple and not overly expensive but Motech soon informed me that I needed a whole new clutch and flywheel which was surprising as I'd never experienced clutch slip and only owned the car a year and it had a mileage of only around 35,000. Oh well, blame the previous owner as you do... Motech wouldn't lie, right? Well after the job was done and my bank account drained the car didn't really feel like it had a whole new clutch and flywheel to me. But what do I know? So I asked them about the sticky pedal and I was told that "it'll self adjust soon" and to "just drive the car", however the clutch needed replacing again after less than 2000 miles which I of course had done at another location, this other garage even took the time to show me with evidence the shoddy job done previously at Motech. (I'm not actually confident that Motech even replaced the clutch and flywheel the first time to be honest as I never saw the old or new parts...) Please don't make my mistake. Trust your gut.

Who ever was driving their 4x4 truck shouting abuse out the window very unprofessional. "Pull forward you d***heads" Really what I wanted to hear through all my closed windows.
