Wasn't just after my money, and gave lots of advice around my build.
Thanks, I look forward to doing business in the future
Cheers Dan top man!
Just had my E36 in for a full service and a Powerflex bush install, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.
The work itself was spot on — the car feels tighter, smoother, and genuinely transformed to drive. You can tell real care went into everything.
Massive shoutout to Daniel, who went above and beyond. His attention to detail is on another level. He didn’t just do the job — he thoroughly went over the entire car, flagged anything worth keeping an eye on, and sent detailed videos explaining everything clearly along with honest advice. That kind of transparency and passion is rare.
It’s not often you find a garage that treats your car like their own, but that’s exactly what you get here. Highly recommend to anyone who actually cares about their car.
These guys did some very unique work on my fzs600 that most garages turned down, helping me for hours to solve my issue ( stripped header manifold bolts) on a Sunday
I cannot express the quality of their work, passion and knowledge
Both lovely people too which helps hugely
All done at an incredibly reasonable price. These guys will remain friends with me for a long time!! Many thanks again
The lines arrived promptly and were spot on. They were high quality and fit perfectly, exactly what i wanted. You can tell this isn’t just a parts reseller, it’s someone who actually builds and understands cars properly.
Great communication, quick turnaround, and proper motorsport-level advice throughout. I’ll definitely be using DriftX again for future parts. Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions
If you can't find the answer below, please reach out to us.
How much do MOT welding repairs cost?
Prices start from around £95 for small patches. Typical repairs such as sills, floorpans or seat belt prescribed areas usually range between £250–£600. Larger structural work is quoted individually after inspection or from photos you provide.
Can you guarantee my MOT retest will pass after welding?
Yes. All MOT welding is carried out to DVSA standards and guaranteed to pass the retest for the repaired areas.
How soon can I book in for welding repairs?
Most jobs can be booked within 3–5 working days depending on availability. Smaller jobs may even be completed the same day if pre-booked.
Do you work on all cars?
Yes — we work on most petrol and diesel vehicles including classics, 4x4s and performance cars. We do not currently work on EVs.
What makes DriftX different from other garages?
We are primarily a motorsport preparation workshop. That means your MOT welding is carried out with the same motorsport-grade fabrication standards we use on race cars — not just patched up.
What welding methods do you use?
We use MIG, TIG and spot welding with professional fabrication and bodyshop equipment. This allows us to repair sills, chassis, floorpans and structural areas properly and durably.
How do I get a quote quickly?
The fastest way is to use our online form, live chat or WhatsApp. Just send us your registration, photos of the affected areas, and your MOT fail sheet if you have it.
Do you offer recovery or collection?
Yes. Vehicle collection can be arranged within our 10–12 mile service area, priced per job.
Do you also offer general repairs?
Yes. Alongside motorsport builds and MOT welding, we also carry out servicing, brakes, suspension, clutches and diagnostics.
