Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 22 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers appreciate the convenience of vehicle pick-up and drop-off services, along with efficient MOT checks and remedial work. People frequently mention receiving good service for routine maintenance like timing belt replacements and full services, often at competitive prices. However, a significant number of people were dissatisfied with various aspects. Some customers reported issues with inflated repair quotes, with one instance where a second opinion revealed a much lower cost for the same work. Others experienced poor communication, with unreturned calls and concerns about transparency or staff conduct. There were also complaints about cars being held for extended periods without clear reasons, unexpected diagnosis fees, and in some cases, cars being returned with new issues or without the original problem being resolved.

Fantastic company

Fantastic company. I booked a pick up and return MOT online.They rang and confirmed the date and turned up nice and early on the day. Returning my car before I finished work. Perfect :). I would give them more gold stars if I could.

A terrible experience

Tried to charge me over £900 to supply and fit a part. Got the same job done in a different garage for £80. Stay away.

Cannot fault Mersey Garages

Cannot fault Mersey Garages. Booked directly with them this year having had my service and MOT booked through another provider on previous years. My car was collected and returned to me fully serviced with an MOT. I was contacted throughout the day and was really happy with the service and the cost and I even received NHS discount

Avoid

Supposed to be Mercedes specialists, didn't have a clue . Just did old Ford taxis and scrap engines lying around. If you have a prestige car, go elsewhere

Wonderful MOT Service

This is the third consecutive year I have used Mersey Garages and, as always, they have been fantastic. They collected the car as promised and called me to let me know the work that was needed. This was a considered assessment of the work required and was extremely competitively priced. All of their staff are friendly and professional and I would happily recommend them to anybody.

Would recommend

They picked car up from my work place for MOT it failed they dropped it back off. they had it in again a few days later to do repairs told me it would be so much.., a few hours later I got a call to say I could pick my car up and that on closer inspection my car didn’t need a new Calaba (however ya spell it ) and that it just needed cleaning and that it wasn’t going to cost me as much as I was told in the first place so I’m happy with that!! Would recommend this garage xx thankyou!! Xx

Very pleased

My brake warning light was coming on, indicating to my mind, that the fluid level for brake and clutch fluid was low. Mersey Garages, Liverpool, picked up my vehicle from my house in Birkenhead at 7.30 am put it on the ramps and checked it over. Fluid levels were good - there were no leaks. I was advised that sometimes the light can come on when the battery is low. The car was returned with no charge to me (no pun intended) and I was advised that if I encountered the problem again or was concerned to take a photo and they'd have another look. From the cheery scouse voice of the young lady receptionist, to phone chats with the boss and every contact with the guys who picked the car up and returned it, I would happily recommend Mersey Garages.

booked in for a service and MOT

booked in for a service and MOT, scheduled to be picked up between 8-11, waited till 11:30 and then phoned. Was told they would pick it up the day after. Finally picked it up, they phoned to say it had failed and it would cost 140 to change the back breaks. when I enquired they said the service was done.
I refused to get the work done and was told to come pick it up. I do not even know where it is and am in work. Anyway the discussion got quite heated and I blurted out k no b he ads. Was then told they were refusing to do the work and they dropped it off. despite telling me they were unable to drive it cos the breaks failed. when they arrived I asked what work had been done and only the MOT had been done. they had already told me the service was done. I refused to pay as I do not pay for bad service.

No stars really

No stars really, if I could.
They refilled my air con gas system before they checked it. It didn't work for a second when I collected it. I returned within minutes and complained.
My system needs a full repair they tell me.
They took my money and offered no refund.
A bit crooked if you ask me.
Avoid this place.
