Reviews Summary

Most customers rate this garage highly, praising its honest, transparent approach, efficient MOT service, and staff who go out of their way to source parts and explain advisories clearly. One reviewer, however, raised a serious concern about a technician driving their vehicle away without confirming insurance or identification, and questioned whether the facilities meet the requirements for the work carried out. Whilst this appears to be an isolated complaint, the garage may benefit from introducing clearer check-in procedures and ensuring customers feel confident about how their vehicles are handled on site.

Reply from Maidstone Car Servicing

Hi Conar, We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the final cost of the work and would like to clarify how this differed from the original online price. The £210 shown when booking online related to the service selected at the time of booking and an MOT. Your vehicle is a Ford fitted with a wet-belt system and requires the appropriate specialist oil. This option was not selected during the online booking process, so unfortunately the initial online price did not include this requirement. In addition the final invoice included extra work carried out to the vehicle, including the fitting of new brake discs and pads and a tyre. These additional repairs and parts were not included in the original service price and therefore increased the final invoice. I understand that any difference in price is frustrating however these repairs were required due to the MOT failure and vehicle specification. We value your custom and would be happy to discuss this invoice with you directly.

Frequently asked questions

We recognise the very best performing garages in your area with a Silver, Gold or Top Tier badge. These badges help you spot garages that deliver customer service that goes above and beyond for drivers, offering great value, high standards and satisfaction/high ratings.
We never ask for payment details upfront.

Once you’ve chosen your garage, you deal with them directly from start to finish, paying only after the work is complete – giving you full peace of mind.

Some mobile technicians may request some commitment or payment upfront to cover the costs of them coming out to you.
Absolutely. True value looks different to everyone so, whether you want the nearest garage, the best-rated option or the lowest price, you can use the Sort By menu in the top-right corner to compare results by Price, Distance, Availability or Reviews - whatever matters most to you.
You can change your booking details right up until the appointment date. You’ll find instructions in the confirmation email you received or in your MyGarage account. Your chosen garage will contact you to acknowledge the amendment and re-confirm your booking.
Garages marked as BMG Verified have been physically visited and vetted by our team to ensure they meet clear service standards.
We recommend booking a diagnostic check as soon as your engine management light comes on.

However, if the light is only a steady amber, you should be able to safely drive your car home or to a local garage – but we don’t recommend driving it any more than is necessary as you may make the problem worse.

If you notice a flashing amber or red engine management light, you should not drive your car, pulling over as soon as it is safe to do so if it comes on while driving. This indicates a more serious issue that needs fixing as soon as possible. You may need to contact your recovery provider or a tow truck to get you to the garage.
Yes, we work with a growing network of mobile mechanics who provide at-home car repairs on stricken vehicles.

You can select ‘Mobile Mechanics Only’ to filter static garages out of the results if you need a mobile technician to fix your car.

This is especially useful if you’ve noticed a flashing amber or red engine management light.
Car diagnostics take around 90 minutes to complete. Depending on the cause of your problem, the repair time may take longer. A technician will contact you once they have an accurate idea of the problem to provide a repair quote.
