🚨 Cheap “Mechanics” Everywhere — Be Careful Who You Trust!

Lately, Facebook seems full of new “mobile mechanic” pages offering cheap servicing and cheap diagnostics.

But take a closer look…
Last month they were cleaning driveways, driving taxis, or doing odd jobs — and now suddenly they’re “mechanics”? 🤔

Let’s be real — modern vehicles are insanely complex.
They need the right tools, fluids, and knowledge — not guesswork.

When someone with no trade background starts “having a go”, things can go badly wrong. We’re seeing more and more cars come in with:
🚫 Parts thrown at faults
🚫 Sensors damaged
🚫 ECUs tampered with
🚫 Big bills that could’ve been avoided

If someone’s offering diagnostics for next to nothing — ask yourself why.
Do they have:
✅ Trade experience?
✅ Insurance?
✅ Proper diagnostic equipment?
✅ Relavent training and skills to do tests and repairs?

Please — do your research before handing over your keys.

Because fixing the damage afterwards costs far more than doing it properly the first time.

‼️ BREAKING: The Department for Transport has confirmed it will review the MOT test fee later this year.

It's a move welcomed by the Independent Garage Association after sustained efforts to highlight the growing pressures facing independent workshops.

For over a decade, the MOT fee has remained frozen while operating costs have continued to rise. This review is an important opportunity to create a fairer, more sustainable framework that reflects the real costs of delivering safety-critical MOT testing.

💬 Stuart James, CEO of the IGA, said: “We are pleased that the Minister has recognised the invaluable contribution of independent garages and that the Department for Transport is now actively reviewing the MOT fee structure… This review represents a crucial opportunity to secure a fairer, more sustainable framework for MOT testing that reflects the real costs faced by garages.”

Independent garages sit at the heart of the UK’s road safety network and this long-overdue review could help ensure they remain strong, viable and ready for the future.

👉 Garage Matters will continue to follow this story and share updates as the consultation progresses.
