No Re-Test Fees
If your vehicle fails its MOT with us, we'll quote you the price to put it right. No re-test fee applies if you choose us to carry out the repairs. A £10 re-test fee is charged if the vehicle is repaired elsewhere (the vehicle must be re-tested within 10 working days).
No trivial failures
If something minor crops up that costs less than £5 to fix (like a blown bulb for example) we'll repair it during the MOT test inspection process - avoiding needless failures for trivial problems.
No obligation quotation for any repairs
In the worst case, should you need some repair work in order to pass the MOT, we'll provide you with a written, fixed price, quotation before undertaking any work. The quote is without obligation and you are free to take vehicle elsewhere for repair if you prefer (repairs elsewhere incur a £10 re-test fee and must be returned for re-testing within 10 working days).
Notification & reminders
As soon as your test is complete - pass or fail - we'll call you straight away to let you know the result. We also send you a free courtesy reminder when your MOT is due again in about 12 months time.
About the MOT Test
Mot tests can be carried out on your car up to one month prior to the expiry date of an existing UK MOT certificate, provided that you have a current MOT certificate and present this to the examiner at the time of the test. On passing the MOT, you will then receive a certificate valid from the date of expiry of your existing MOT.
