Petrol prices. Diesel, hybrid and electric prices in the quote. About 1 hour in the workshop.
- Price agreed first. Every job is quoted before we start. Anything extra, we call you and wait for a yes.
- 24-month warranty. Parts and labour, 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first.
- Keeps your car’s warranty. Parts to manufacturer spec and a stamped service record, so the factory warranty stands.
What we do
The annual roadworthiness test checks that your car meets the minimum safety and emissions standard on the day. It is not a service: nothing is changed, adjusted or topped up.
If something fails, you are free to have it fixed anywhere. If you have it fixed here, you get a fixed price before we start and a free re-test within ten working days.
Book it alongside a full service and we will do the service first, so the test sees the car at its best. It takes about an hour and you can wait.
What’s included
- Brakes, steering, suspension and tyres
- Lights, mirrors, wipers and horn
- Seat belts, doors and the driver's view of the road
- Exhaust emissions
- Free partial re-test within 10 working days
“They rang before touching the rear brakes, sent me a photo of the worn pad and the price. No pressure. I said yes and it was done the same afternoon.”
