Five star service from the best mechanics I have ever come across in the many cities I have lived and worked in the U.K. Nothing is too much trouble. The service is quick and courteous and very reasonably priced. Gary Stewart Fairmilehead, Edinburgh

A first rate garage with excellent service. Mo is very helpful if you have a problem. Have taken my cars there for many years.

I have been taking my car to PR Motors for years and wouldn't go anywhere else. If I have a concern about e.g. brakes, Mo will tell me to bring the car in that day to make sure the car is safe to drive. He has also happily carried out small jobs/repairs and often won't charge for these. The staff are always friendly and polite, and take the time to explain what needs done to the car - they will also often show me what the problem has been. I trust them and have never felt overcharged for their work - quite the opposite, as Mo has previously found cheaper solutions for me rather than cost me 100's of pounds!

I have enlisted my daughters help to leave this review. I don?t leave a review of this kind lightly. In fact, I don?t usually leave reviews at all. However, after what I consider to be the worst experience I have had with a garage in nearly 50 years of driving, I enlisted some help to get me on here and I'm ready to share what I can In regard to what took place when I booked my car in for an MOT and service at P.R. Motor Engineers.My car was booked in for a Monday morning. I was waiting outside when a chap appeared to open up. He said I?d get the car back later on that day as they were quiet?now I'm able to hazard a guess why. The service was carried out first. I was told that other items needing replaced were discovered during the service. By this point I was committed, the price kept on rising. After the service and all the work, it was claimed was required had been completed the MOT was undertaken. The car failed miserably (and expensively). My car has always been very well maintained and had covered just over 7k in the last year. There wasn?t a single advisory on the previous MOT.It would be unwise for me to share everything I would like to as I?m still seeking guidance from Trading Standards. Nonetheless, I?d like to give some insight in regard to what took place.One example, I was told the car need two new front tyres which were duly fitted. I checked the same tyres online when I got the car back. The difference to what I could have paid elsewhere, fully fitted, on that same day, was considerable, three figure considerable! (screenshot of tyres/price available elsewhere held from that date). Two further points regarding the tyres. I spoke to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and the gentlemen I spoke to pointed out, after the checking the MOT details online, the car only failed its MOT on one tyre. I was told the car required two tyres (hadn?t seen failure details at that time) and I was charged for two tyres. I was also told it would be illegal for me to drive away from the garage on the existing tyres which the chap from the DVSA said was nonsense. Furthermore, to add insult to injury, the garage fitted two all season tyres, to the front of a rear-wheel-drive car which makes them virtually useless. All the advice is against mixing all season tyres with other types of tyres (which had been fitted on the rear wheels, only weeks earlier by National Tyres).All four of my indicator bulbs, although working perfectly, were deemed to be the ?incorrect colour?. A convenient coincidence. They had to be replaced at a cost to me of £40.00. Of course, the garage couldn?t have known I replaced one of the rear bulbs only weeks earlier. I bought ten Lucas bulbs at a cost of £10.95, cheaper available but I always buy Lucas?although if the colour fades within weeks to the extent they need replaced perhaps I should reconsider.As previously stated, my car went in on the Monday for an MOT and service. I was told I'd receive it back later the same day. I finally received it back on the Thursday along with a bill for £1,384.77.
Disappointing . Happy to pay going rate for MOT /services, but was charged extortionate amount for few essential fixes after MOT. Advised by another garage outside Edinburgh that I'd been ripped off by several 100 pounds.

Lovely people to deal with but absolutely ludicrous prices (I guess that's Morningside). Charged £68 for a diagnostic check to find out why the engine light was coming on. That's 50% more than chains like ATS. Furthermore, the light only started coming on after it had been for a service at same garage - you'd have thought they'd look into this for free. Charged £207 for a pair of after market rear shock absorbers. Allowing for the fact they were fitted same day, that's still over £100 more than they are to buy normally!!! But that, of course is just the part. On top of that, charged two hours labour at £109 per hour!!! That's £30 over the very high end of the 2023 (inflation accounted) national average.

Extortionate prices. Get a second opinion/quote. Went in for an MOT in August and ended up with an £800 bill for mostly minor issues and one major fault. After getting the work done I got a second opinion at a different garage outside of Edinburgh and was told I got ripped off. I was charged £189 for ?suspension labour?, for a job that required the drop link to be changed (half an hours work, 2 bolts to be attached). Budget parts were used aswell that might not last. Think as a young female with a small run around car they?ve taken the mick for sure.

I had been a long time customer of P R Motors engineers, until I moved down to England for work in the last year. They are the most, honest, hard-working team, I?ve been fortunate enough to give my car to. They are completely forthcoming and more than happy to provide a detailed explanation in Laymans terms. The prices are very competitive, and if I had stayed in Edinburgh, I would continue to visit Mo and his team.They?re always busy, and it comes down to them being so reliable!Cheers guys

Quick, honest, professional and fairly priced - what more could I ask for!

Very friendly and helpful. They pushed in our car and fixed it in a short time. So we could continue about 2 hours later.
