Reviewers most commonly praise Fixter for its convenience: easy online booking, app usage and collection/drop‑off logistics. Communication and status updates are frequently noted as strengths. Value opinions are mixed—some customers report competitive MOT pricing, while others describe high repair quotes or felt pressured to accept additional work. A minority of reviews also report specific workmanship or follow‑up issues. Prospective customers should compare quoted repair prices, check the partner garage details, and confirm any recommended work in writing before authorising repairs.

Fixter is a UK-based online marketplace and booking platform for car servicing and MOTs. The service connects motorists with local garages, allowing users to book work through a central app or website and to arrange collection and delivery by partner technicians. Fixter positions itself as a broker and logistics coordinator rather than a single repair garage, listing prices and managing booking, payment and drop‑off/pick‑up logistics across its network.
