I am extremely impressed by A& S motors. Prompt appointment was made to get a repair of a tyre. Reception staff friendly, courteous and professional.
My tyre had previously been pronounced "unrepairable " by Kwikfit! in an failed attempt
to sell me £85 tyre.
A S mechanic was immedietly super confident it was repairable as the nail was in the centre of the tyre. 20 mins and £20 later it was job done.
Being a woman on my own, when dealing with car issues, I can be a targ…
Shout out to the guy I dealt with, customer service of the highest order and couldn't be quicker to help.
See you all for my service / mot's in the future.

FAQs for MOTs in Portsmouth
Are MOT test centres in Portsmouth approved?
Yes. Every MOT garage in Portsmouth on our platform is fully DVSA-certified and carefully vetted for quality. That means your test is carried out to the highest safety and legal standards.
Can I book my MOT and a service together in Portsmouth?
Absolutely. Many garages in Portsmouth offer MOT and service packages, helping you save money and reduce the hassle of multiple visits. It’s a convenient way to keep your car road-legal and properly maintained in one go.
What if I need to change or cancel my MOT appointment in Portsmouth?
No problem. If you need to reschedule or cancel, most MOT centres in Portsmouth are flexible as long as you give reasonable notice. You’ll see each garage’s cancellation policy clearly when booking.
How much does an MOT cost in Portsmouth?
MOT prices in Portsmouth can vary depending on the garage, but with Service4Service you’ll always see upfront costs before you book. This makes it easy to compare local MOT centres and pick one that fits your budget.
Can I choose an MOT centre near me in Portsmouth?
Yes. Our platform lets you filter MOT garages in Portsmouth by distance, price, reviews, and availability. That way, you can book a test close to home, work, or anywhere that’s most convenient.
What if my car fails its MOT in Portsmouth?
If your vehicle doesn’t pass its MOT in Portsmouth, the garage will explain the reasons clearly and provide a repair quote before any work is done. Many centres can carry out the repairs and arrange a retest quickly to get you back on the road.
Can I read reviews of MOT centres in Portsmouth?
Yes. Each MOT garage in Portsmouth has genuine customer reviews available on their profile. You’ll be able to read feedback on service quality, communication, and overall experience to help you book with confidence.
Why Brake Maintenance Matters Long Before MOT Day
Brakes are one of the most critical systems on any vehicle, and MOT testers examine them carefully. Waiting until the MOT to discover worn pads or discs can be costly and inconvenient.
Routine brake inspections help you stay safe while also improving your chance of passing. If your car squeals, pulls to one side, or takes longer to stop, it’s worth checking immediately.
How Clean Cars Can Make MOT Testing Easier
Although cleanliness is not a direct pass-or-fail issue, a clean vehicle can make inspections easier and more efficient. Dirt, clutter, and mud can hide damage or make certain components harder to access.
Before your MOT, consider:
- Clearing rubbish from the cabin
- Cleaning number plates
- Washing lights and mirrors
- Removing heavy clutter from the boot
A tidy car creates a smoother testing process.
