IN'n'OUT Autocentres: British network of garages for MOT, servicing and repairs

IN'n'OUT Autocentres is a chain of automotive garages with a presence in the UK that provides MOT testing, servicing, tyres, brakes and repairs. Founded in 2008, the company presents itself as one of the country's fast-fit and vehicle maintenance specialists, with more than 28 autocentres spread across the North, the Midlands and the South of England, as well as a mobile service called OUT2YOU for electric vehicle servicing at the customer's home or workplace.

Services for cars and light commercial vehicles

The company's range covers MOT testing for cars and light commercial vehicles, interim, full and major servicing, tyre replacement with balancing and TPMS system checks, brake repairs, air conditioning recharge and repair, battery replacement, wheel alignment, fault diagnosis and repair, engine oil flush and vehicle health check. The firm states that many of these jobs can be completed in around an hour and that many centres offer same-day appointments, subject to availability.

MOT with free re-test and no obligation to have repairs done at the centre

IN'n'OUT Autocentres' MOT centres are DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) approved. The company highlights that the test takes around 60 minutes, that there is a free re-test within the following 10 days and that the customer is not obliged to have any MOT repairs carried out at its premises. It also offers combined MOT and service packages with an advertised saving of £30, in a single appointment and a single visit.

Air conditioning recharge and support for different engine types

The air conditioning recharge service includes inspection, recharge and tune-up by trained technicians, with safe extraction of refrigerant and lubricating oil and subsequent refilling in line with the manufacturer's specifications. The company uses R134a or R1234yf refrigerant depending on the vehicle. The technicians work on petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric vehicles, and use diagnostic equipment and advanced workshop technology for fault finding.

Parts and lubricants in line with manufacturer specifications

IN'n'OUT Autocentres states that it uses only parts that meet or exceed the manufacturer's original equipment (OE) specifications, together with premium Castrol oils, to preserve reliability, fuel efficiency, performance and compliance with the manufacturer's warranty. The company maintains that its servicing is designed to meet or exceed manufacturer standards and that it does not carry out work without the customer's prior authorisation.

Tyres, brakes and diagnostics

The centres are equipped for the fitting and balancing of premium, mid-range and budget tyres, as well as wheel alignment, brake repairs and fault diagnosis. The company offers these services for both scheduled maintenance and urgent repairs.

Waiting facilities and mobile service for electric vehicles

Many jobs can be carried out while the customer waits, so the autocentres have waiting areas with free Wi-Fi, complimentary refreshments and family-friendly facilities. The company notes that these amenities are not available at the Erith and Lincoln centres. In addition, the OUT2YOU mobile service handles electric vehicle servicing at the home or workplace.

Accreditations and ratings

The company holds Which? Trusted Trader accreditation and shows a rating of 4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot based on more than 10,000 reviews. It also states that it offers fixed, transparent pricing, online booking and clear communication with the customer.
