MOTs
& Servicing
We can MOT and service any vehicle, of any class. To check which vehicle class you have, take a
look at the table below.
We do our MOT testing using a purpose built MOT pit facility, which allows us to accommodate lower,
specialist or modified vehicles which would not usually fit comfortably on a ramp test bay.

Regular Servicing is essential to ensure your vehicle remains safe, and in the best working order.
Regardless of if you use your vehicle on the weekends for fun or for travelling long distance on a daily
basis, it is imperative that you keep your vehicle suitably maintained.
Most vehicle manufactures recommend that a vehicle is serviced at least once per year or every 10,000
miles (generally whichever occurs first). Routine servicing not only helps to prolong the life of your
vehicle, but it can also minimise the risk of unlucky breakdowns and expensive repair costs.
