The Mechanics Glasgow, Renfrew
The Mechanics Glasgow, Renfrew: You see the fault before you pay for the fix.
Every job starts with a video health check: the actual part on camera, the price in writing, and nothing touched until you say yes.
“What can I say, can’t believe I have found a garage where I have complete trust in what is done on my car is really needed. They take you through the process of any issues they find. Send you videos and pictures through watsapp explaining all the details, tell you the cost and ask if you are happy to proceed. No hidden charges….its the first time in all my years of owning a car that a MOT has just cost the actual price of an MOT!! Being female going into a garage can be intimidating but not here put me at ease.”
How every job works here
Four steps, the same for a £40 MOT and a £900 clutch. Nothing happens in between without you.
Before anything is quoted, the mechanic films or photographs the part in question — on your car, with your reg in shot.
- Sent by text, WhatsApp or email — whatever you already use
- Filmed by the person working on the car, not a service adviser
- Kept, so you can look again later
See the fault yourself, then tell us what to do.

Front nearside suspension
At 00:14 in the videoThe drop link has play in it — that's the knock you can hear over potholes. It isn't dangerous today, but it will fail an MOT and it wears the tyre unevenly while it's loose.
Our own MOT centre. Forty pounds.
We used to send your MOT elsewhere. Now it's tested in our second unit, by the people who look after your car — so a fail becomes a conversation, not a phone call from a stranger.

“I highly recommened The Mechanics Glasgow for anything car related. I was going back and forth with mechanics about my car as it wasn't starting for 3 weeks. No one could figure out what was wrong with it and I was without a car and stressed for weeks. The…”
“Brilliant 1st class”
“Couldn’t recommend these guys enough! I came to the workshop for something as simple as swapping over a tyre pressure monitoring sensor on my Tesla, but I was genuinely impressed by how attentive, helpful and caring the whole team were. They managed to fit me…”
“…and team as always, were more than helpful and very knowledgable when my car broke down. Not even 24 hours later and my car was fixed and back on the road. Excellent and high quality service!”

Two mechanics who got tired of customers being kept in the dark. They started the business they'd want to take their own cars to — and they're both still on the tools, which is why the video explaining your car usually comes from the person who fixed it.
We grew because people kept coming back.
The second unit wasn't ambition for its own sake — the diary ran out of room. It let us bring MOT testing in-house, which is the part customers had least visibility of.
Renfrew, just off the
Glasgow side
Two units in Renfrew, ten minutes from the Clyde Tunnel. Parking on site.
If something isn't right, bring it back. We'll take another look.
