Customer stories

Garage owners say it best.

I would highly recommend V-Tech to other garage owners. I've been buying my garage equipment from them for years and have recently invested in a Class 4 MOT bay from them too. They project managed the whole thing, even helping with the DVSA VT01 application and supporting our builders with civil drawings for groundworks.

Gold BarzClass 4 MOT bay

Great service from start to finish — the guys at V-Tech know what they are doing. They filled all my paperwork in for DVSA and it was all done and passed off within 7 weeks.

St Helens MOTClass 4 MOT bay

Fantastic quality on product and service. Was kept in the loop all the way through the build and sign off. Highly recommended.
