Could not recommend this company more. The MOT was carried out by Craig & Rob, who were very friendly and walked me through the advisories in detail - it’s clear they’re very experienced and looking... See more

My new go to MOT test centre…

The garage I was meant to be going to today cancelled last minute and I was pleased to be able to get booked in here today with less than 24 hours notice, especially as my MOT expiry date was today!
My test was carried out at the time booked without delay and friendly staff. I'll be coming here every year from now on

It's up the road

It's up the road, impartial MOT not looking to rip your eyes out, friendly staff, nice and clean staff so vehicles don't get oiled up ! Easy to get to. I normally use Ollerton which is just sad good but now as I'm only 10 mins away from me, Message for Alan Keep Timmo at Grantham please 🥺🥺

Always happy to see MOT centres with no…

Always happy to see MOT centres with no incentive to fail. Brilliant friendly service. Great advice from the chap who MOTd her. It normally seems like “death row “ when you have an MOT on an old girl-this was a real pleasure! Highly recommend!

Exceptional MOT centre

I've been bringing my van here for a while now and I can't recommend this place enough. The guys that run it are fantastic and the turnaround time is unmatched by the other places I've tried in Lincoln

The best MOT station in Lincoln

The best MOT station in Lincoln. Staff are very polite, understanding and flexible. I received an excellent service from Robert, who is very helpful. Their multi car offers and free re-test policy also makes them very reasonable.

I do not recommend this place!

I do not recommend this place!
My first MOT test failed due to an allegedly misaligned headlight, even though I had never had any issues with it before. I went to a mechanic who was supposed to fix the problem. The next day, I returned for a re-test, only to be told once again that the headlight was still incorrectly aligned.

Determined to resolve the issue, I visited another mechanic who replaced the bulb and used a professional alignment tool to ensure the light was set at the correct angle. I was there in person and saw that everything was in order. When I returned for another inspection, the older gentleman at the station, who is extremely arrogant, informed me that they were on their dinner break and that I would have to wait an hour. While I fully understand the importance of breaks, checking a headlight takes only a moment, so I scheduled another appointment for the next morning.

To my frustration, the same gentleman didn’t even sit in the car or use any proper measuring tool—he simply declared that the headlight was still misaligned. At this point, I decided to take my car to another MOT station without mentioning my previous issues. There, the tester used the correct alignment tool, and, unsurprisingly, the headlight was perfectly within the allowed limits.

How is this possible? Because of this man’s incompetence, I lost both time and money. I am deeply disappointed by this experience and will be filing an official complaint with We Only MOT regarding this older gentleman’s unprofessional and unpleasant attitude towards customers.

Have used weONLYmot for many years

Have used weONLYmot for many years. Have trusted them with all our cars and our children's cars. Been again this morning and once again excellent service. Welcoming area and decent to sit and wait. Knowledgeable and skilled. Happy with explanations. I will continue to use and recommend Grantham. Also perfect to buy all three cars at reduced price. Take one car and pay for all 3 in one go.
