My car failed its MOT due to rust under the sills. CF3 handled the welding repairs on-site and got it retested the same week. They saved me from having to scrap the car. Great garage and really helpful guys.
Sarah T.

I had some rear bumper damage from a minor accident. CF3 MOT & Service Centre took care of the bodywork and paint job, and now it looks like new. Prices were fair and they kept me updated throughout. Local and reliable.

I use CF3 for both my MOT and full service every year. They've always been honest, quick, and the car runs better after every visit. Being just down the road in Rumney makes it even easier.

Had a breakdown late evening and managed to get the car to CF3 the same night. They diagnosed the issue and had it fixed the next day. Really grateful they're open evenings — hard to find a garage this flexible in the Cardiff CF3 area.
