    “5 star service, Tanya was the best. Came in for a last minute MOT. Failed as the exhaust back box needed to be replaced. Was shown the damage to the vehicle and told upfront how much it would cost. Well priced. Also booked in for Lanogaurd treatment for my car’s underside after seeing how rusted the vehicle is. Tanya was great at making me feel welcome and keeping everything running. Would recommend to anyone.”

Honest MOTs service with a smile, arranged for a retest after MOT failure on some items, got my car in right away didnt even have chance to get back from the bakery before the pass sheet was ready. Fantastic. A good example of a business to trust with your vehicle, with exceptionally friendly staff. I will be back for sure. Thank you for your efforts and don't cook in there with all this heat!”

    “I strongly recommend Blandford Heights! Just got my MOT done, honestly the most swift, honest and relieving experience I have ever had. Let’s promote honest business like this, in very dodgy car repairs industry all over the kingdom.”

    “I don't always leave a review for local businesses but credit where its due. I have taken my car to Blandford Heights Twice now for Service, MOT and some emergency work to fix an issues. Both times the staff have been helpful, friendly and my car was returned with the work done without any issues. I cant say they are the cheapest, but I think you all know that with cheap comes issues. They do the work well and they do it right. If that is what you want take my word for it .. they are a good garage.”
