Trusted Engine Repair and Replacement in Manchester

In a perfect world, your MOT would take about 60 minutes. But to allow us time to get everything set up and move cars in and out of the shop it is best to leave about two hours to get everything done. That way you won't be waiting around for the test to finish. From our base in Manchester City Centre, there are a lot of things to do. For some ideas, read our blog post on things to do while you wait for an MOT.

We can arrange an earlier drop-off if it is pre-arranged. We normally open at 8.30, but you can bring your car in a little earlier if that works for you.

Because we are based in Manchester city centre, most of our customers like to leave their cars with us while they go to work or pop into town. We have lots of indoor car parking spaces so you can leave your car in the morning and pick it up in the evening, or even the next day.

The only time you can drive without a valid MOT certificate is if you are on route to a pre-booked MOT. And you will need to have proof of this in case you get stopped on the way.

An MOT advisory can be issued when a car passes, but the tester wants to keep an eye on something that may need repairing in the future. Advisory notes are often issued for things like tyre depth when they are close to the end of their lifespan. They can reduce a vehicles resale value, but if the problem is fixed then an advisory note can be removed with an MOT retest.
