The AA mechanic was great. He came on time and did the job well and the car is now working good. Only a minor issue happened that AA sent text messages asking me to drop the car at a garage despite it... See more

No show - mechanic did not bother turning up or calling

I booked a service for 8/10 which got cancelled and rescheduled to 15/10. No one turned up and on calling they said that they “had problems with payment from the credit card”. Utter nonsense as I had a valid card. I have now wasted a day waiting for their mechanic who did not turn up.

MOT Experience

I dropped my car off with time to spare. I had a bit of a walk to find coffee. I think I had to wait almost two hours but the staff were friendly. Thank you.

KMK Automotive - Outstanding

KMK Automotive are a great choice for an MOT. From booking, to the actual check and collecion everything is seamless.

Adam is friendly, knowledgable and always highly organised. As a family, we have been using them via the AA for 3 years and can highly recommend them.

MOT Done

Feltham MOT Centre is a lovely place, great experience whilst waiting for my MOT to be completed.

Better still, there is a cafe around the corner which makes life wonderful

All done with a minimum of fuss

All done with a minimum of fuss. Collected the car, service and MOT completed and necessary work done and then delivered the car back to my home. Very convenient.

Absolutely shocking service

Absolutely shocking service, avoid at all costs.
Booked a mobile service on the only day available, they confirmed the booking and sent a booking confirmation email confirming the date booked, an AM booking as requested and the name of the mechanic. They also took the money from our account three days before the service date.
All of this was absolute fantasy on their part as they didn't call or turn up in tha AM at all. It took us four phone calls and lots of time on hold before eventually confirming to us at 5.35pm that they have had a mix up and they will reschedule the service.

Obviously we said no to this and cancelled, now waiting for our money back before we can afford to rebook with another company. There was no apology from the person on the phone, they said they'd cancel it then hung up on us !!

Shocking service from what we thought was a reputable company. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID.

We are extremely sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration this situation has caused. Failing to turn up for a scheduled appointment, the long wait times on the phone, and the rude behavior you encountered when trying to cancel are completely unacceptable and fall far short of the standards we aim to provide. We understand how inconvenient this must be, especially while waiting for your refund to be processed so you can make alternative arrangements.

What a great service

What a great service ! My car was picked up/dropped back by two lovely young men ,all the major service done. Paperwork for the MOT was given to me and the following emails confirmed all they had done in the service.Car is running beautifully ,they reprogrammed it to reflect the service .I couldn't be happier.My husband is unwell so I can't leave him so this service saved me getting a sitter in ,booking a hire car via my usual garage and the journey to Tamworth to the garage.Highly recommend this service to anyone .PS ,it was very reasonable ,MOT and a major service far less than my dealer garage
