TNT Service Centre

TNT Service Centre, an independent garage in Mansfield

TNT Service Centre is a family-run automotive repair facility in Mansfield, positioned next to the A617 off Oaktree Lane and close to the town's main car dealerships. The business was established in 2008 by father Neville and his two sons, Matthew and Adam, and presents itself as a one-stop shop for vehicle needs, from routine maintenance to mechanical repairs.

The garage states that it is regulated and approved by the Vehicle and Operator Standards Agency (VOSA) to carry out MOT testing, and that it is authorised to perform unaffected warranty servicing on new cars. It also indicates that all work is fully guaranteed.

MOT testing and servicing

MOTs are offered for all vehicles up to ten years old under a no pass, no fee arrangement: the customer pays for the test only when the vehicle passes. Servicing is handled alongside MOT work, and the centre says it can service new cars without affecting their warranty.

Mechanical repairs and diagnostics

The workshop covers a broad range of mechanical work. Its listed services include:

• General car repairs and servicing
• Clutch repair or replacement
• Suspension repair and wheel alignment
• Brakes
• Exhausts
• Batteries
• Timing belts, cam belts and timing chains
• Vehicle diagnostics
• Tyres

The centre describes itself as equipped with current technology and experienced staff, and says it handles both minor jobs, such as fitting a new bulb, and more in-depth engine repairs.

Pricing and approach to work

TNT states that it will beat any genuine like-for-like quote on all work. It also emphasises that no work is carried out unless it is necessary and has been authorised by the customer beforehand, and that staff are available to offer advice on repairs and on ways to save money on servicing.

Customer feedback shown by the garage

The site reproduces several testimonials. One customer, James Farr, says he has used the centre for four years after becoming tired of dealership prices and reports saving close to half of what he previously paid at dealerships. Other comments describe quick responses, recommendations for future work, help with a bulb replacement at no charge, a lift home and collection after the car was ready, and a generally reassuring experience. These are individual accounts published by the business rather than an independent assessment.
