About Nickels
Your trusted MOT test centre and repair garage in Cardiff, South Wales
Our Workshop
Nickels Garage & Co. is a fully-equipped MOT test centre and repair garage. We look after cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles of all makes and models — no specialities, no exclusions. Whether you need an MOT, a full service, a diagnostic scan, or a one-off repair, we’ll get it sorted quickly, properly, and at a fair price.
Our approach is simple: tell you what’s wrong, quote before we start, and only carry out work you’ve approved. You get a clear breakdown of labour and parts, and we’ll flag anything we spot that might need attention down the line so you can plan — we’ll never pressure you into work on the day. It’s the reason most of our customers have been coming back for years, and why we’re rated 4.6 stars on Google across 63 reviews.
Our Approach
Honest pricing. MOTs are a flat £45. Our hourly labour rate is £60 + VAT. Everything else is quoted up front, in writing if you want.
All makes & models. From family hatchbacks to work vans, we work on them all. We use genuine or OE-equivalent parts and service to manufacturer specification, so your warranty stays intact.
Straight answers. If your MOT fails, we’ll tell you exactly what needs fixing and give you a free retest within 10 working days of the original test.
