How to get it

Choose a service and add an MOT in the same booking, and the MOT price drops to £25. It's our way of keeping regular customers road-legal for less.

Booking online

Use our online booking to see the exact price for your vehicle and pick a slot. No pre-payment is required — you pay on the day.

Why the two go together

An MOT tells you whether the car is legal today. A service tells you whether it will still be reliable in six months. Done at the same visit they complement each other — the service addresses wear before it becomes an MOT failure, and anything the test flags as an advisory can be dealt with while the car is already with us rather than requiring a second appointment.

What the MOT does not cover

It's a common and expensive misunderstanding that an MOT pass means the car is mechanically sound. The test doesn't assess the clutch, the gearbox, the timing belt, the condition of the engine, or the state of the oil. A car can pass its MOT in the morning and suffer a timing belt failure that afternoon, entirely legitimately. That gap is exactly what servicing fills.

Making sense of advisories

Advisories are the tester recording something that isn't a failure yet but is heading that way — tyres approaching the limit, pads wearing thin, corrosion beginning on a brake pipe. They're genuinely useful planning information. We'll go through yours and tell you what needs attention now, what can safely wait, and roughly how long you've got, so nothing surprises you next year.

Booking it

Use the online booking to enter your registration, see the exact price for your vehicle, and choose a slot. There's no pre-payment — you settle up on the day. If you'd rather talk it through, call the workshop and we'll sort it out over the phone.

FAQs

Do I have to pay when I book?

Can I get the £25 MOT without a service?

The £25 price applies when the MOT is booked with a service. A standalone MOT is charged at the normal rate.
